HA! I find that song strangely compelling, but then I find La Brit strangely compelling in general.
I think I may have to acquire her new album in some form.
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

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.

For fellow fans of the Cory-Corb-Ben trinity of holy americana, Last Chance Diner has posted a new song by Cory here.
And make sure you listen through to the end, because he included (shh and spoiler font) Cory's Irish-influenced cover of Lucero's "It Gets the Worst at Night."
I just might get through the rest of the work day with this on repeat.
eta and since i am listening to it on repeat, here are some lyrics.
Someone screwed the sky too tight
I laughed and filled my lungs with light
I wish I may, wish I might
Line my coat with kites

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
My chairdance/must-sing-along to songs are pretty predictable, for the most part:
A whole bunch of stuff by MCR (off of all their albums, actually)
Plasticine by Placebo
Guitar Hero by Amanda Palmer
Days of Swine & Roses or Devilbunnies by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Nobody Likes You When You're Dead by Zombina and the Skeletones
Fairytale of New York by the Pogues
This Is Halloween from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack
... and of course, the song that I will listen to on repeat for hours on end, Last Of The Famous International Playboys by Morrissey. I think I need to listen to it right now, actually.

I was sort of surprised how little there seems to be for prince or princess, so I would particularly welcome suggestions with those. I must say, with most royal titles being famous singer or group names, it wasn't easy to find new things.
Also, if anyone has "King Tut" and can post it to brawk, I would love to add it.
Thanks!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, if anyone has "King Tut" and can post it to brawk, I would love to add it.
I do!
I'll post it when I get home. Plus I can search my iTunes library for more royalty.
eta: Oh wait - I think I bought "King Tut" from iTunes. So I'd have to burn it to CD and then rip it. So if anyone else has it already in mp3, speak up....
