Because I'm sure I have or had that.

I'm sure I have to have that.

Feelies "Dancing Barefoot".

I don't know if the link is still active since I can't use it at work.

eta: I checked. It looks like it's still available. Somebody should grab it quick, since I'm afraid it will be gone by the time I get home.

But several versions are available there.

eta: Also this person misses the Feelies

Okay, I've sent "Les Bourgeois" by Jacques Brel and MC Solaar's "Bouge de là", where he fends off a woman's advances with the line "non merci c'est très gentil mais je ne mange pas de porc" ("no thank you, that's very sweet, but I don't eat pork").

I've also sent a Word file with lyrics for both.

What Hec said.

From that missing the Feelies blog post, he lists some of their many covers. Makes your mouth water.

They were also the ultimate cover band with the ability to strip down another artist’s song and strip it down to its purest, Feelies-like element. These included Iggy Pop’s "Funtime," The Stooges’ "Real Cool Time," MC5 ’s "Looking At You," The Stones’ "Paint It Black," Love’s "Little Red Book," Brian Eno’s "Third Uncle" and "King’s Lead Hat," The Beatles’ "Everybody’s Got Something To Hide" and "She Said She Said," Neil Young’s "Sedan Delivery," "Barstool Blues" and "Powderfinger," Wire’s "Mannequin" and "Outdoor Miner," The Modern Lovers’ "Roadrunner," Patti Smith’s "Dancing Barefoot," Television’s "See No Evil," and over a dozen Velvets covers.

Quiz: "King's Lead Hat" is a word jumble for what band?

Also? I love "Outdoor Miner."

Thanks, Megan!!! And, hey, if you'd want to make a trip west on feb. 17th you'd be welcome at the New Year party. It's always a blast with amazing food.

Thanks - I grabbed The Feelies' cover...

Damn. I think I have to have all of those (if they exist) (all the ones I don't have, anyway).

eta: x-posty!

Duh. Talking Heads .

That's not Washington's birthday is it? If so, I can't get away since that is the biggest weekend of the year here.

hmm...it might be. We have no official holidays here until Memorial day so I've lost track. We do have 3 floating holidays and i'm taking this Monday off and Tuesday. Take that, The Man!

Why is Washington's b'day so big there?

He founded the college, and, um, it's named after him. There is no escaping George here.
