Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Allow me to suggest:

Michael Jackson - "Bad"

If you''re in an odd mood, you could also use Meatloaf, "Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

"Bad Things" - Jace Everett. I think I already put that up at B-rawk

Thank you. Didn't know the exact title, so I worked off the chorus. It's an instant earworm, but one I don't mind having.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

IOBadN, just in case you forgot how bad a high school (Jr. High?) band can be....

2001 A Space Odyssey titles school performance

This had me both laughing and cringing....

eta: OK, this was not a high-school band:

The Dish's Smearing Of Public School Orchestras

We stand corrected and ashamed. About that last MHB. A reader writes:

That recording was actually by The Portsmouth Sinfonia, "a real orchestra founded by a group of students at Portsmouth School of Art in Portsmouth, England, in 1970 -- however, the Sinfonia had an unusual entrance requirement. Players had to be either non-musicians, or if a musician, play an instrument that was entirely new to them."

Another writes:

I recognized it immediately because it was on Dead Parrot Society, a compilation album of British comedy dominated by Peter Cook and the boys of Monty Python.

Another:

Brian Eno was a member for a while and played the clarinet.

That's kinda' cool. Still sounds like a Jr. High band, though....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hiya. This isn't usually a thread I follow, because my music love tends to be pretty shallow and fleeting. But there's a song that's been in my head all weekend, and I just can't remember enough about it to find it on YouTube and play it half a dozen time to get it out of my head.

(I worked in a CD store way back when, and I'm having flashbacks to customers coming in for a country CD by some guy singing about his lost love. Oh, and the cover might be brown. *sigh*)

Anyway. If someone can figure out the song from this bare-bones description, please, that would be wonderful.

It starts off with a rumble of thunder (but it’s not “This Corrosion,” although I’m not ruling out Sisters of Mercy). It’s very lush and has sort of sweeping melodic lines throughout, as well as the sound of rain. The last line of the chorus is something like “It’s true for you.” The vocalist is male with a fairly lyrical baritone voice.

I think it’s from the late ‘80s, to very early ‘90s—no later than ’91. And I can tell you a few other things it’s not:

London After Midnight – Sacrifice
The Same Deep Water as You – The Cure
Kingdom of Rain – The The

Anyone?
