OK- as a primer, I download one song from iTunes- which do I get?
Cue game show pressure inducing music.
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.

"July, July!"
I love it so much.
and we'll remember this when we are old and ancient
though the specifics might be vague
and i'll say your camisole was sprightly light magenta
when in fact it was a nappy blueish grey
The one I've played most on the radio is "Billy Liar"
July, July!"
I love it so much.
Awwww! I can't remember if P-C was still dead to me from Movies, but if so, he is very certainly no longer. "July, July!" is right up there with "My Name Is Leslie Ann Levine" but has the advantage of being danceable, if you are a geek prone to dancing to folky stuff, which I fortunately (or sadly) am. "July, July!" is on the top of the playlist for my as-yet purely theoretical Geeky Folk Girl Dance Mix (The Divine Comedy's "Gin-Soaked Boy" is Number 2).

Mwah! JZ, you sound like a girl after my own heart. I think I'd like this. Well, two out of three advise: July, July wins.

Oh, I totally dance to it. I put it on The Funnest Mix CD Ever! mix for a friend of mine. Man, I hear it in my head right now and want to dance to it. And then this one time I actually listened to the second stanza of the first verse and discovered there was a guy holding his own intestines.

Now, see, I'm listening to it for the very first time right now? Still caught that bit.
But GOOD. Very good.

I know. It's like he took the perfect assortment of words and they fit snugly into this upbeat melody. "Crooked French-Canadian." "Sprightly light magenta." Where else do you hear these phrases?!
Yep, I liked it. Now I'll have to go get more to be schooled by the time they get to town.
"Crooked French-Canadian."
And he was gut-shot running gin! If you do not love those lyrics, you have no magic in your heart.
