Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

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.

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

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Not really a hand clap, but more of a knee clap. Hello Saferide -The Quiz

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"Billed as "pensioners behaving badly", 'Young@Heart' is a New England-based American chorus like no other." [link]

A clip from the documentary of the chorus covering Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia": [link]

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Slow down, you're movin' too fast. You got to make the morning last. Just kicking down the cobble stones. Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

This was the bedtime lullaby my mom sang to me when I was a kid, so it's variable grooviness aside, it has a strong place in my heart.

Tina, m. ward, Mike Errico and Tom Waits all have featured harmonica solos in their tracks, if you're still looking.

I haven't been able to get The 59th Bridge Street Song out of my head since it appeared here.

The hidden track on my buffista mix was me (poorly and softly) singing it. I get warm fuzzies whenever I hear it.

Me neither.

It's so charming in its datedness. What other '60s songs are that charmingly dated?
