Giles ,'Touched'
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.
He founded the college, and, um, it's named after him. There is no escaping George here.
Okay, right! I knew it was something obvious that I was missing. I'm not at my sharpest today.
lisah, don't forget about Pigs, Three Different Ones by Pink Floyd, off the Animals album, ofcourse.
Yes, thanks! Somebody (not here) mentioned that already. I try not to think about Pink Floyd if I can help it.
Wasn't that one of the answers in that blasted Funny Farm puzzle?
Yes. Yes it was.
From another blog:
"Dancing Barefoot," a Patti Smith cover, features a rare lead vocal by Brenda Sauter. I probably saw the feelies live over a dozen times, and I can't recall a single instance of Brenda getting anywhere near a microphone. She seemed content to keep in the background with her bass, but her sweet, monochromatic voice is quite effective on this cut. I prefer this version to the Smith original. Brenda later overcame her mic-shy ways in Wild Carnation, a band she formed with her husband Richard Barnes after the feelies demise.
OK, can someone find me a copy of the Urban Guerrillas album "Attack of the Pink Heat-Seeking Moisture Missles"? They were a Mpls band from the mid-'80s. I thought they were on Twin/Tone but I don't see them mentioned on the Twin/Tone site.
I'd look some more myself but I have, like, work I should do. And I tried once a few years ago to find this but failed.
What is Bill Million up to nowadays?
One of my favorite things about seeing the Feelies live (the one time I got to see them) was the way after each song they'd immediately stoop down and tune their guitars.

He's a locksmith at Disneyland.
The Feelies at the Paradise in Boston (I don't remember what year, somewhere in '86-90) in my Top 5 Best Rock Shows Ever.
lisah, it might possibly be too folky, but John Gorka has a song called "Prom Night In Pigtown" that is simultaneously ridiculous and heartbreaking. It might make a good "send the last party stragglers drifting off just as dawn breaks" song.

Huh. That's about as odd a career change for rock musician as tugboat captain or maybe professor of English.
Btw, there are some good Feelies performances on YouTube.
