Mayor ,'Chosen'
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.

I suspect Bono has also donned silver pleather at some point in his life as well.

Fucking Bono. Always stealing my moves.
song stuck in my head:
Shine On, Shine On, Shi-iiine On
please to help me figure out who that is.
Part of me wants to say, "Shine on Harvest Moon," but another part of me thinks it's something from the 70s.
Is it sung in a fairly high pitch?
Or, could it possibly be this song from InXS' Elegantly Wasted?
Hey Jilli, Robert Christgau very grudgingly admits that Placebo are pretty good.
Not that you were looking for his validation, but it's an interesting appreciation for somebody well out of their demographic.
