Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
For Michele T, carried over from the old thread:
Also also, on topic, what should I listen to by Of Montreal?
Satanic Panic in the Attic and The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy (which is out of print and may be hard to find) are my picks. The former is more accessible. It took me one or two listens to warm up to it, but once it hooked me, I was addicted. Listened to it all summer.
Top 10!
And you ask yourself, How did I get here?
This is not my beautiful thread! This is not my beautiful wife!
Just missed the Top Ten....
Top 40 is still good.
Whoo-hoo! Will look forward to our forthcoming thread, "The Undiscovered Funky."
I don't know what my obsession with the use of the word "funk" in the title of threads is, either.
Also, Newsradio is totally on-topic for the Music thread, because of the run of Season 2 episodes that are named after Led Zep albums for no reason other than that they liked 'em. Homicide basically reinvented the musical montage sequence for the better, and uh, Buffy's theme song got covered by the Breeders!
Hello, Cleveland!
Every town is always the wildest...except Springfield, that really is.
You know who doesn't rock? Those losers over in (checks card) Shelbyville. They don't know how to rock in Shelbyville!

Do you have Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome? If not I must get you a copy.

Completely. In addition to Zep they used "Shaft" twice (Complaint Box and the one with the Big Bonus and the Shaft). Jimmy's campaign theme song was "Life's Been Good". "Slow Ride" brought him out of his coma. He was named after the Beastie Boys tune. "Horse with No Name" was a recurring joke, too. I don't know if they just thought it was funny, or if Dave really dug it and they thought that was funny, or if it was an inside joke (Phil Hartman did the cover for America's greatest hits.) Vicki Lewis had primarily done musical theater pre-Newsradio. And of course there was Chock. We're gettin' the band back together!
Chock Full O' Notes!
I had forgotten that Jimmy James is the only major character in television history to be named after a Beastie Boys song.
And of course Phil Hartman played the piano on multiple episodes, including the one where he tries to become a Mark Russell-type musical political commentator, and the talent show episode, one of my favorites ("The Great Throwdini!"), in which he and Vicki Lewis sing "Makin' Whoopee."
And no, I do not have that, and would love a copy!
