Music All you fun king funking lovers love

In response to your mummies I give you GWAR covering Kansas. Not great but amusing. The best bit is his recognition of the desire to jump in with the lyrics at the 40 second mark.

Rather than give all y’all a list of videos I’ll just drop this in. Best wishes for the coming year.

So let’s see if I can come up with a play list. I’ve been recently listening to live recordings from 1970 so that might cloud the front end of this list.
You might not have heard that one before… Let’s start this Jan 6 of with Free

All right how ya doin’ man? Lookin’ good. Everything is fucked up as usual, ya know.

Ashen lady, ashen lady give up your vows
Save our city, Save our city right now

And now a break for our sponsors

Nazi Punks...

…Fuck Off

Punk ain’t no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain’t hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!

If you’ve come to fight, get outa here
You ain’t no better than the bouncers
We ain’t trying to be police
When you ape the cops it ain’t anarchy

[Repeat chorus]

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you’ve got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They’re coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth Reich you’ll be the first to go

[Repeat chorus]

You’ll be the first to go
You’ll be the first to go
You’ll be the first to go
Unless you think

So let’s chill a bit after that last lot… Everybody knows its an industrial disease.

Hey all y’all how ya doin’? (If’n I say How ya doin’ huh? it leads into the thorazine shuffle and Gov’t Mule’s gotta wait.) I hope yer doing well.
I realized after a quick perusal of the past posts in this thread I have not shared any Polly Jean. PJ Harvey is, well, damn. She is… damn can’t define it. She leaves me without proper words. Music can be entertainment and that is often enough but sometimes music is the medium for art, the entertainment that enlightens. That is PJ Harvey. I leave it at that so I go all fanboy on ya.
Here’s the first PJ Harvey song I heard.

So PJ Harvey is a poet. Her lyrics are poetry. Just beautiful and then she makes them music.

Dress

Put on that dress
I’m going out dancing
Starting off red
Clean and sparkling, he’ll see me
Music play, make it dreamy for dancing
Must be a way that I can dress to please him
It’s hard to walk in the dress, it’s not easy
I’m swinging over like a heavy loaded fruit tree

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

It’s sad to see
Lonely, all this lonely
Close up my eyes
Dreamy, dreamy music, make it be alright
Music play, make it good for romacing
Must be a way I can dress to please him
Swing and sway, everything will be alright
But it’s feeling so damn tight tonight

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

ā€œYou pretty thingā€ my man says
ā€œBut I bought you beautiful dressesā€
ā€œYou pretty thingā€ my man says
ā€œBut I bought you beautiful dressesā€

Filthy tight, the dress is filthy
I’m falling flat and my arms are empty
Clear the way, better get it out of this room
A fallen woman in dancing costume

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

man Sized

I’m coming up man-sized skinned alive
I want to fit I’ve got to get
Man-sized I’m heading on
Handsome got my leather boots on
Got my girl and she’s a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-sized no need to shout
Can you hear can you hear me now
I’m man-sized

Man sized
I’ll measure time I’ll measure height
I’ll calculate my birthright
Good Lord I’m big I’m heading on
Man-sized got my leather boots on
Got my girl and she’s a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-sized no need to shout
Can you hear, can you hear me now
My babe looking cool and neat
I’m pretty sure good enough to eat
I’m man-sized no need to shout
Let it all, let it all hang out
I’m man-size, man size
Man size, man size, man size, man size
Man size, man size

Silence my lady head
Get girl out of my head
Douse hair with gasoline
Set it light and set it free
Silence my lady head
Get girl out of my head
Douse hair with gasoline
Set it light and set it free

She’s an entertainer.

She’s a social commentator. (For those that might not get it, try to see how many male rock stars she imitates here)

Is this love that I’m feeling?

That’s such a bizarre yet compelling pairing, like champagne with filet mignon.

I couldn’t get no satisfaction (votes) when I submitted Miss Polly Jean in the new music game for the ā€˜British artist’ round. :frowning:

Heard this singer/songwriter a couple of years ago and I think he’s awesome. This song isn’t his most popular, but it’s the first one I heard.

that Clutch number is very ZZ Top-ish.

I love the whole Love Over Gold Album, very under rated in their catalogue. It Never Rains is probably my favorite from that one.

Going back thru the thread make sure I didn’t miss anything. This rips! And ya, I’m usually out* for a rip when posting here.

  • actually in so this is pandemic compliant out.

That was great! Subscribed.

Listened to Bob and Tom locally back in the day. I’ve always had issue with their laughing over songs. So many good and humorous songs with their laugh track like taint.

Here Come The Mummies - Do You Believe

I believe.
