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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.

I'm going to go with cheesy on that one.

Finally got my royal collection together. Lots of good stuff, but here are some favorite discoveries courtesy of the Buffistas:

Oldies but goodies:
"I'm a King Bee" by The Rolling Stones
"It's Good to be King" by Tom Petty

People I like more and more the more I hear:
"A King and a Queen" by Okkervil River
"Queen of the Savages" by The Magnetic Fields
"Cooksferry Queen" by Richard Thompson

Totally new to me:
"Prince Nez" by Squirrel Nut Zippers
"The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1" by Neutral Milk Hotel
"Princess Of The Universe" by Utopia

ETA: Thanks for your contributions to my continuing musical education!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember having a big debate about whether this was a sappy, romantic song or a cheesy come-on song.

I also remember a discussion when that one came out. We eventually compromised on, "Yes, it's either one or the other."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought it was a come-on and was DEEPLY offended in the way only a teenager can be.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Remember the band Breathe in the 80s? I believe their entire oeuvre was grounded in sap.

Yes.

Impromptu filk by my husband the other day:

Squirrels, in large numbers: scatter as we drive by.
Me: That's like, a *flock* of squirrels.
mr. flea: And they ay-ay-ate, they ate a lot of nu-u-uts.

And then they ran away!

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

Even more than Air Supply?

Impromptu filk by my husband the other day:

Last night, I sang this (to the theme from the Batman TV show) to my cat as I returned from the store:

Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Cat food!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Me and a friend, in uni, just before intro to sociology:

Friend: What are you listening to?
Me: Mark Lanegan.
Friend (confused look): Marx and Engels?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Once upon a time in pop music, there was always somebody (one or more) whose oeuvre was grounded in sap. (See my comments above on Bobby Vinton and Connie Francis. Most of Barry Manilow's pop heyday also qualifies.)

That era has ended. I'm not sure when, but I think it happened during the later '90s.
