Time for some thrilling heroics.

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

U2's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet"

God, Kate put that on her Buffistamix CD, and I just LOVE it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

May the song mention another song?

Metric's "Siamese Cities" mentions "Crimson and Clover."

May the song mention another song?

Yes - any work of art is fine, but the consensus seems to be it has to be a work of art, not the artist.

And I am going to say it if references it super directly it doesn't have to actually name it - to hell with the strict rule interpreters!

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

God, Kate put that on her Buffistamix CD, and I just LOVE it.

Have you read the book?

Somebody (tommyrot? Frankenbuddha? erinaceous?) put that Pixies song about Un Chien Andalou on his or her Buffistamix.

Debaser. God I need to read more. I have been listening to that song for 15 years and had no idea that's what it was about (I at least have heard of the film). I am listening to it right now.

I think I have my song. Thanks, joe.

"Debaser."

Heh. "SLICING UP EYEBALLS, WHOA OH OH OH!"

"SLICING UP EYEBALLS, WHOA OH OH OH!"

A quick google reveals that the part of the song that I have never had any clue what he was saying is actually "I am un chien Andalusia."

I had heard about the film - Bowie used it during concerts I think - but didn't know the name.

"The Dick Cavett Show: Rock Icons" is out on DVD.

In July 1970, for instance, "The Dick Cavett Show" featured a chat session with Sly and the Family Stone, Debbie Reynolds and tennis great Pancho Gonzales. Equally weird, a month earlier, was the joint appearance of Janis Joplin, Raquel Welch, news anchor Chet Huntley and the terminally suave Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The elderly Huntley was visibly sweet on Welch, and -- while taking hits from a long cigarette holder -- Joplin lectured Welch about underground cartoonist R. Crumb.
