Today, I Thank Gawd It’s Friday.
Today, I’m going to steal an idea from Groanin’ Jock. GJ has come up with the idea of adding a little commentary about each of the ten tunes in his Random Assortment. That’s gotta be more interesting than just posting the lyrics, eh?
So: lessee what’s on the ol’ iPod d’Elisson today...
- What Is This Feeling? - Wicked, Original Cast Recording
Probably a touch of the grippe. - Pachalafaka - Soupy Sales
This is a truly dopey song.
Pachalafaka, pachalafaka
They whisper it all over Turkey
Pachalafaka, pachalafaka
It sounds so romantic and perky...
It’s one of those damned earwigs that, owing to having heard it at a young, impressionable age, has a tendency to pop into the Thought Stream at random moments, causing an intense desire to gouge out one’s eyes with a golf tee. - The Long And Winding Road - The Beatles
This is the deconstructed version from Let It Be - Naked. Without Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” orchestral sweetening, this is a much different song than the one I grew up with...and far better. - Saltydog - Flogging Molly
Something the Mistress of Sarcasm stuck on my machine. The name of the band sounds like an Irish euphemism for masturbation. - Take The Power Back - Rage Against The Machine
These boys sound pissed off all the fucking time, am I right? - Intro - Bill Hicks
The start to a lengthy comedy set recorded in London. Brilliant stuff. - All Neon Like - Björk
Did you know “Björk” is Icelandic for “birch”? Did you care? - In Limbo - Radiohead
From Radiohead’s Kid A disc. Wish I had had this one back in the late 1960’s. Freaky. - Wear Your Love Like Heaven - Donovan
“I’m Just Wild About Saffron,” my ass. - Marie’s Wedding - Van Morrison
Van Morrison returns to his Irish folk roots with this rendition of a classic. Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express covered this song too, but with decidedly equivocal results.
