What's a really great song I can listen to RIGHT NOW??

[idgiehkt]

I need an intervention, a serious one. I have listened to "Lucky Guy" by The Muffs about 150 times today. I'm cracked out. I can't stop. Any ideas for something, anything else would be appreciated. What's your favorite song, or hell, even your least favorite? I keep hitting 'play' again...

[Richard Steele]

1. Earworm must defeat earworm.

[idgiehkt]

2. Oh. My. God.

I can't believe you did that to me right before bed. I'm gonna hear that in my sleep, lol.

Holy shit. All of a sudden I smell cologne. I am alone. It is really, really strong. Is it some kind synesthesia induced by this video. This video hurts me. ow. ow. ow.

Who is the guitar player in this, do you know?

back to lucky guy...

You've no ambition and only ever sit around
I don't know whyyyyyyyyyyy
And you know it's true and you never wanted anything
You're a lucky guyyyyyyyyyyy

[Richard Steele]

3. The guitarist and founding member goes by the name 'Hayashi'.

I don't know if it's just a stage name, but it wouldn't surprise me.

[ComerPerro]

49. These will help...

4. "Dear Valentine?" by Guster

Cool song,

[idgiehkt]

5. it's not on youtube though.

and I'm too broke to download anything new. This is pitiful. I slept this evening so I'm not sleepy, there is nothing on tv, and I have a Muffs habit, and not the good kind.

[Common Sense Party]

6. Here are a few:

[idgiehkt]

10. Bless your heart!

that should get the Muffs off my ears for a while.

and salt in my tears is the first one, woohoo! great song.

[Common Sense Party]

16. I still want to re-record "Salt in My Tears" as a country song.

It almost begs for a steel guitar. "I'll sit around and drink a few more beers..."

[idgiehkt]

17. yeah, I can kind of hear that....

at first I found it repugnant, til you mentioned steel guitar...

[IChing]

7. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands

f you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (clap clap)

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. (clap clap)

If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it

[idgiehkt]

9. you are SO wrong for that, lol

just wrong, wrong, wrong.

[IChing]

15. Yes, but confess,

You can't get that song out of your head now, can you?

"Because, If you're happy and you know it..........."


Made you smile though.

[idgiehkt]

19. true.

desperate times call for desperate measures, I'll admit.

[Floogeldy]

8. "Mean Mistreater" by Grand Funk Railroad.

[idgiehkt]

11. believe it or not it's not on youtube

[Floogeldy]

13. You said "listen."

[idgiehkt]

18. but I can't download right now.

I'm a broke ass bitch, you feel me?

[Floogeldy]

[idgiehkt]

14. you rock.

this is a hell of an intervention.

[Common Sense Party]

20. One of these should do the job.

Many of these came from the "Post your favorite long-forgotten or little known 80s music video" thread I started in the Lounge a couple months ago, and has now vanished into obscurity. I wish I could find it again, because I want to add several videos to my YouTube Favorites folder.

[idgiehkt]

23. that south central rain is stunning.

it's so nostalgic for me it's dangerous. wow. I want it to be the mid to late eighties again. Please god...

[Nicole]

25. Here you go!

I had it bookmarked so I could enjoy it at my leisure.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[idgiehkt]

28. bless you for bringing that thread up

the most righteous DU thread ever, I suspect.

[Nicole]

29. It's a good for sure n/t

[Common Sense Party]

44. BLESS YOU!!! I have been looking for this all over! Thanks! nt

[ghostsofgiants]

24. Ummm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm11JM8nzQw ?

Also, I've been loving this lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CNFZzofN3I

[idgiehkt]

26. I am so glad you popped up here!

That song is awesome, but really sad (steps ascending). One of my ex's best friends shot himself accidentally, right in front of my ex. They had been best friends all through school, it was so sad. He was just playing with a gun and said 'look, I'm gonna shoot myself' and there was a bullet in it and he didn't know it.

I can't believe, I've got the Mars Volta sitting right on my computer screen, see, your the top icon:



and I didn't even think about it. That's how Muffed out I am tonight. It's time for Frances the Mute. If that don't cure me, I'd best just be shot.

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Haha, glad you enjoyed.

And yeah, Volta is always a good bet.

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Oh, you might enjoy this also...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60mkNo1Ap5Q

Alexisonfire's new video.

[idgiehkt]

41. man that guy can yell.

I love the contrast between the two voices. Wow. That's a great video, thanks!

[Omphaloskepsis]

30. Oh fuck..

electrical tape sXe on the hands.. fuck..

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Cancer Bats > YU0

[Omphaloskepsis]

34. Cancer Bats. ???

I took a few months off the internet.

[ghostsofgiants]

35. The band whose video I posted...

With the electrical tape Xs.

[Mojambo]

33. "The Little Acorn" by the Fruit Bats

That'll do the trick.

Man, I miss the Muffs. I'm gonna have to dig some up.

[Skittles]

36. "Heroes" by David Bowie

I was you-tubing it last night; I just love that song

[SKKY]

37. "Veronica" by Elvis Costello

[idgiehkt]

46. great song! n/t

[derby378]

38. Well, if you just want something to pump your adrenaline up to 11...

Here's We Killed Jah by Moshpit, complete with insane music video:

http://www.moshpit-band.net/fl/fr

[idgiehkt]

45. this is neat they have their own site for the video

I hope all kinds of bands start doing this, and your description is very apt, thanks.

[derby378]

50. One way to interpret that video...

The poor, abused inmate is America. The psychotic orderly is the Bush administration. And the band? DU on guitar, Daily Kos on vocals, Crooks & Liars on keyboards.

[RebelOne]

39. I'm sure out of these 1,500 you should find something you like.

http://www.1500videos.com/

[idgiehkt]

42. thanks!

I appreciate the link. I'll need an intervention on that soon too, lol.

[Phillycat]

40. "Hidden Charms" by Elvis Costello

Be warned, you will listen to that one over and over again too.

[Gato Moteado]

43. billy preston and van morrison

i'm embarrassed i don't know who "the muffs" are. but here are my offerings:

billy preston in a great performance with george harrison at the concert for bangladesh:

enjoy!

[idgiehkt]

48. THIS IS IT!! Lucky Guy, by The Muffs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9OjF7YyPK0&mode=related...

I looked last night but missed it...good ol' youtube. this video takes a while to start for some reason but it does get going eventually.

I love the way she screams on here and the 50's be-bop kind of melody.

[pitohui]

47. "take me to the river" talking heads

c'mon what other song you need?

[voter x]

51. right now

some cool cats from NC....a bunch of great songs

http://www.gutarocks.com/music.html

[mvd]

52. Just picking one

I'll pick "Kiss Me Til It Bleeds" by Nina Gordon. It's on her wonderful Bleeding Heart Graffiti CD. She's beating Liz Phair in the pop department. For Liz, I'd give whitechocolatespaceegg A+, self-titled a B (blended in a bit much,) and Somebody's Miracle an A. Nina gets 2 A+s. I like her solo stuff even more than her old band, Veruca Salt. Veruca Salt's Resolver (done without Nina) was pretty bad, unfortunately.
