I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.
"Heavenly Pop Hit" by The Chills almost lives up to its title.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.
'Shindig'
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's just me.

Never thought I could feel so free.
Following the theme to William Katz's career (why do I know his name? Some things are just mysteries.):

- Link Wray - "Rumble"
- Liliput - "Ain't You"
- Piero Umiliani - "Mah-Na-Mah-Na"
- Neutral Milk Hotel - "Song Against Sex"
- The Fiery Furnaces - "One More Time" (Clash cover - actually, it blends the song itself and the dub version)

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

Always Anti-fascist!
Of course, thanks to Seinfeld, I've mostly heard that lately as machine-music "Believe it or not/We're not home!" In a tangentially related topic, the more I hear the soul song "Money", the weirder it is that the first place I heard the opening bars was in a car commercial. Whoever pitched it didn't know that song at all because "mean, mean green" and women "selling their precious bodies" oughtn't to sell...Sportscars? ETA: When I was a kid, I watched that show a lot, Corwood. Oh, in relatively huge genre-busting news, "Deadwood" is on my watch list now. I thought you'd wanna know that.

Silence means security silence means approval
"Theme from 'The Greatest American Hero'" is now inseperable in my brain from George's answering machine on Seinfeld.
Piero Umiliani - "Mah-Na-Mah-Na"At the ballgame Friday night the Cake version of this song comes on. Great-grandmother in the row in front of us looks up at me and says, "Muppets?" I nod. She's overjoyed, being that she doesn't know 99% of the stuff the play at Safeco.
And then I went and completely bombed on music trivia. It was some rap-dance song from 1995 I'd never heard before in my life by some one-named artist. I can excuse myself if it's some rap-dance song from 2002, but 1995 I should know.

Probably the same person who sold Royal Carribean on "Lust For Life."
Next up, a commerical with a high-testosterone high-heterosexual muscle car to the tune of the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen In Love."
