Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

Handler: I always get "Dude Looks Like A Lady" stuck in my head.
Merritt: I love that song.

That's awesome. I was watching the six-hour documentary on VH1 last night about Heavy Metal and the saddest part was watching That Dude from Warrant talk about how his record label said they wouldn't release their album without a "Dude Looks Like A Lady" type track. (Which, hello? Pretty damn hard.) So he wrote "Cherry Pie." Looking fat, miserable, balding and bloated he said, totally seriously, "There are about a thousand times I wish I had the balls to shoot myself in the head for writing "Cherry Pie." I can't go anywhere, ever without being the Cherry Pie Guy."

I felt kind of bad for him.

Request for everyone: What are your favorite songs that incorporate hand claps?

A few obvious ones: Jack and Diane, Rock the Casbah

A bit less obvious: Close to Me, Alex Chilton

Any others?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The Decemberists have been using handclaps when they play "O Valencia" live.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Brian Eno - "King's Lead Hat"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Bruce Springsteen's Spirit in the Night, which I am oddly fond of.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

"Soulfinger"... I want to say by the Bar-Kays, but that's not right.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"We Got the Beat" by the Go-Go's.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Let's Go" by the Routers. Which was a great almost-instrumental until it was used in a car rental company's commercial.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Brian Eno - "King's Lead Hat"

Ooh - love that song.

Pro'lly everyone knows this, but "King's Lead Hat" is an anagram for "Talking Heads." This was when Eno was almost a fifth member of the band.

hip deep in pie

Tenderness - General Public (though I think they might be synthesized)

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Hand-claps are often the tipping point at which I'll lose it for a giddy pop song. For example, The Wannadies - Friends
