Sweet!
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

I assume we're are all ready to go buy a copy of "Do They Know it's Halloween?" to help raise money for Unicef this year?
My favorite bit in the NYTimes story:
The participants in "Do They Know It's Halloween?" were alternately amused and confused by the project. Mr. Gollner said the singer-rapper Peaches at first thought the Bush administration was trying to ban Halloween.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
also sometimes I like to sing it as "Harbin Wouldn't Run" because of how that's my last name
She wouldn't run because she'd drive the car she got "One Piece at a Time"! (And it didn't cost her a dime!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. Joe has the same fondness for "One Piece At A Time" that I do. Though I first heard it on an early Cash tribute album. The one with Marc Almond on it.
also, joe, I got the box!
Pee Wee, Star Wars on the Beach, early R.E.M.! Fun!

Damn straight!
Why can't I find the cd of Mojo Cash Covered with Steve Earle doing "Hardin..."?!?! I can find the case. grrr. stupid inability to put things where they belong/laziness about ripping cds.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I have Michelle Shocked doing that song, from some tribute or other.

She does "One Piece At A Time" on the above-linked Til Things Are Brighter tribute.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Remember the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV?
Kirk and Spock are on a bus and A Punk With A Boom Box gets on, playing:
Just what is the future? / The things we've done and said? / Let's just push the button / We'd be better off dead / 'Cause I hate you / And I berate you / And I can't wait to get to you / The sins of all the fathers / Being dumped on us, the sons / The only choice we're given is / "How many megatons?" / And I eschew you / And I say *screw* you! / And I hope you're blue too...
And then:
Punk on bus: [plays loud music on a bus]
Kirk: Excuse me.
Punk on bus: [doesn't listen]
Kirk: Excuse me. Would you mind stopping that noise?
Punk on bus: [turns it up louder]
Kirk: [louder and firmer] Excuse me! Would you mind stopping that damn noise?
Punk on bus: [flips him off]
Kirk: [looks at Spock]
Spock: [gives the punk the Vulcan Neck-Pinch, much to the delighted applause of the gratefull bus passengers]
Well, an interview with Punk On Bus: [link]
