The songs you keep playing

"Bobby Brown." One of my all-time favorite Zappa songs from my all-time favorite Zappa album, "Sheik Yerbouti." (Sound it out.)

The album starts with "I Have Been In You" and only gets better.

 

With a tongue like a cow ... she can make you go wow ...

 

Me and my best friend in high school had to be the only 17-year-olds in the state of Arkansas listening to Joe's Garage every day. When I got my laptop earlier this year, the first songs I downloaded were "Catholic Girls," Crew Slut" and "Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?"

Often lost in the hilarity of the song titles and lyrics is the fact that Zappa was a great musician and the Mothers were an incredible band. When you can regularly incorporate a xylophone into rock and roll, you're damn good.

 

The current Top 10:
The Wind — Cat Stevens
Surrender — Cheap Trick
Aurora — Foo Fighters
The Weight — The Band
God Only Knows — Beach Boys
Against the Wind — Brooks and Dunn
In My Room — Beach Boys
I Will Follow You Into The Dark — Death Cab For Cutie
Santa Monica — Everclear
Train in Vain — Clash

 

Where the Devil Won't Stay - Drive by Truckers
Old Man - Neil Young
Dance Music - Mountain Goats
Ass Clown - Ministry
Downbound Train - Springsteen
Casmir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Wire and Glass - The Who
I deserve it - Britta Phillips and Dean Wareham
Fast Train - Solomon Burke

 

OK, I heard this song on a classic rock station the other day and can't get it out of my head. The problem is, I don't know the name or who sings it.

It starts out slowly with a guitar riff thatis probably very well-known...then it busts into a reggae beat before the lead singer sings a drawn-out "Diane" or "Dying" three or four times before the meat of the song starts.

Any ideas?

 

Brian Wilson, Lovers in a Dangerous Time, Call and Answer -- Barenaked Ladies

 

Right now, it's OutKast's "Morris Brown" before I walk into the office every day. Great song with the marching band backing to make me think college football ... yeah, I love that track.

 

Right now the three illest songs around are :

1. Andre3000 - Chronomonophobia (or whatever the fuck it's called)
2. Justin Timberlake - My Love (ft. T.I.)
3. Robin Thicke - Cocaine

Yeah, I said it.

 

Heard a bit of JT's CD the other day. I've got to say I was surprised (in a good way).

 

Everything I've heard (sans the single) is fire.
I'm gonna d/l it right now actually. It leaked today, along w/ the Beyonce CD

 

C&A is my favorite Ladies song.
