'Selfless'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can't think of anything I own that actually has cowbell.

You don't own "Honky Tonk Women"?

And I can't think of ANY songs with cowbell!

Well, just for the record, because this song kept coming up in connection with the "More cowbell" reference, the Queens of the Stonage song Little Sister does not actually contain cowbell. I'm pretty cure that's a wood block.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Kate -- don't you have "Hey Ladies"? Best. Cowbell. Ever.

Thanks so much for all the bridge explication!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I was thinking of 19 and 22 more like DX, but by combining the two, we could bring in one of the other great categories (like, say, great song/mediocre band).

Also, as much as I like them, I'd be glad to cut Lost In the Grooves and Cowbell for others if they're going to be too nebulous or difficult.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My concern for the cowbell selection is a selfish one as the very last person picking songs. I assume we are not supposed to repeat anything someone else has chosen, and by the time we get that far, I can't help but wonder if there will be any cowbell songs left that I actually like.

I also feel a little odd "choosing" something for Lost in the Grooves when the (sometimes a teensy bit persnickity) editor is also involved, but that could just be me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

(like, say, great song/mediocre band)

We did a "I hate the artist, but I love the song" category in the last mixathon.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

For the cowbell thing, I think it would be more that I'd have to stretch really hard to *find* a song in my collection that had a cowbell, as opposed to something I'd really like to share.

Perkins echoes my concerns about the "Lost in the Grooves" category. Not that it's not a great category, but it's a little like being a standup comedian trying to perform his first routine for the very first time...

...live on Johnny Carson's show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is is cheating if you use this enormous list of songs with cowbell? [link]
