Damn, Cindy, Blues for Allah is brilliant. But I think I'll stay as far away from the provoking a jihad thing as I can.
Midnight at the Oasis, OTOH - there's a double personal tie-in there, for me, because Maria Muldaur, who sang it, was married to John Kahn, bassist for the Jerry Garcia Band.
Uh-oh. Things are prickling. That may be it.

Oh, cool. I was slightly shy about bringing it up, because it's one of my guilty pleasure songs. I thought of it last night (after "Kashmir" and I'd noticed Barb already mentioned that one) and then I felt silly mentioning it.
Yep. "Oasis" it is.
DING DING DING! No more calls, please....
Great drabbles, everyone. My favorite on that topic isn't even mine -- a friend's brother once gave her a pound of bulgar wheat for Christmas. A real WTF moment.

I kept waffling on this when I saw the LJ entry, because I couldn't decide if two Clash titles was too many or what, but this one is great. It's pinging me as slightly more pop than the others, but it's a great title.

And the original version by Muldaur is probably more funky than pop. What's pop about it is that it manages to be so catchy, but I think the catchiness feels more incidental than intentional. That's bordering on crit and probably meaningless to anyone who isn't in my brain (and my apologies, the place is a mess), so I'll stop, now.

You should see mine, babe.
Oh! I have a little gifty to send you!
Unrelated to the chaos in my head, of course.
Gifty?
See, I will always associate it with Jane Fonda as Iris the hooker in one of my alltime favourite movies, "Steelyard Blues".
So for me, it's a cult song. Plus the whole JGB band connection. Plus the perfect suitability for the JP and Bree thing. Plus I loves it, I does.
Oh, I do, too. It's just more on my mental "'70s hits" playlist than on my rock one.
Gifty?
Just a little one. I may actually get to the post office tomorrow, too.
Oh yeah, baby -- it's still Monday, and I've got the new drabble topic!
Challenge #93 (thank-yous for shitty gifts) is now closed.
Challenge #94 is one that was actually suggested by Connie many many months ago (I bookmarked it and then forgot about it, and then a few nights ago I was going through my bookmarks and found it): the view outside your bedroom window -- or contemplations on why you don't have a bedroom window.
