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.
Tracy: 'When you can't run, you crawl... and when you can't crawl, when you can't do that--' Zoe: 'You find someone to carry you.'
'The Message'
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.

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

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

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?

'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"
I play your version all the time -- it's very charming!
