100% of their songs were taken from previous rock or big band artists, otherwise are mostly from the classical music era.
Ha! Just like every pop song ever!
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I just downloaded the rest of the Parliament album The Best of Parliament. And I recognized the song "Do That Stuff", but not the Parliament version.
Then it hit me. Stereo Total covers that song, right? Although if I'm correct, they gave it a different name.

Cool. Thanks.
eta: I already have that Stereo Total song--I just couldn't remember what it was. But at least I won't have to listen to all three of my Stereo Total albums to find it.

The best thing I've heard all day today is Amanda Palmer saying, "Ladies and gentlemen: Davie Byrne!"

Cory Doctorow sez:
Here is a video in which Amanda Fucking Palmer and David Byrne and a very large, very good band perform "Burning Down the House."
My life is complete.
That is all.

She's created such an interesting life for herself, that she gets to do things like this and sing Rocky Horror songs on Craig Ferguson.

People forget that Bruce played at Max's Kansas City in the early 70s, and knew most of those NYC punks quite well. Which is how he wrote "Because the Night" for Patti Smith and "Hungry Heart" for the Ramones. (But his manager wouldn't let him give it to the Ramones because he was tired of Bruce giving away hit songs.)
