Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

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.

Have we discussed the rumor of the Throwing Muses mini-reunion to open for the Pixies here in NY one night next week?

No. And let's not. Otherwise envy will give me a nasty rash.

eta to add missing mystery word.

Otherwise envy will me a nasty rash.

Hmm, maybe "Otherwise, Envy, will me a nasty rash!" Nope, I still don't get it.

Buffista music help requested here:

I'm earwormed an early-to-mid-90s alt-rock-pop song, but I don't know what it's called or who it's by. This song comes back to haunt me every couple years and it's starting to drive me nuts. It sounds a bit like a cross between the Spin Doctors and the Meat Puppets' more accessible material (hell, it could be the Meat Puppets for all I know). The chorus goes something vaguely like this.

keep thinkin' it'll be all right if I just get on (off?) the road/in a moment I can free my worried mind/[....]pray for the day when I lose my heavy load/then I wouldn't have to leave you behind

Beyond that, I've just got a couple words here and there. I can't reach fifteen-year-old me on the phone for comment. Any ideas?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

You can have the 'oontz oontz' edition Goth Card.

I'm OONTZ-POP!?!?!! Oh, man, that's just harsh. At least make me future-pop or darkwave or something. I mean, c'mon, Rogue bought me a beer, for crying out loud!

Sorry, sorry! Remember, to my swirly-goth brain, oontz-pop, future-pop, and darkwave are all kinda-sorta the same thing.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Good lord, if that were true I would hitchhike to NYC and beg for a ticket just to see it.

Put on them sneakers and hit the road! It's pretty widely rumored. I just don't know which night(s) they're supposed to be playing, though, and my co-worker who told me this (and who HAS tickets, the bastid) is already gone for the night.

Well, oontz-pop has, um, oontzes in it. Future pop talks about space and cyber stuff and the end of the world, oh, and their dead lovers. Darkwave are people who play 80's music, but have big hair and wear black clothes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Darkwave are people who play 80's music, but have big hair and wear black clothes.

But?

Isn't that the definitiohn of 80s music?

No. And let's not. Otherwise envy will give me a nasty rash.

So not the time to mention I saw the Pixies back in the day, and they opened for the Muses at the Paradise in Boston, I guess? t /taunting
