This Week's Musical Randomness

And away we go!

1. "Where Do The Children Go" - The Hooters (in this version, Patti Smyth is singing along!)
2. "Mess Around" - Ray Charles
3. "Apology" - The Go-Go's (from the album they made when they reunited a few years back)
4. "Rockin' Robin" - Bobby Day
5. "Bitchin' Camaro" - The Dead Milkmen
6. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones
7. "Something So Strong" - Crowded House
8. "Student Loan" - Mary Prankster
9. "20th Century Boy" - T-Rex
10. "Too Late For Love" - Def Leppard
11. "Intuition" - Jewel
12. "Fuck and Run" - Liz Phair
13. "Panama" - Van Halen
14. "Never Said" - Liz Phair
15. "Molly" - Sponge
16. "Hey You" - Pink Floyd
17. "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" - Shania Twain (Blue (Asian) version, as opposed to the Red (Pop) or Green (Country) versions)
18. "Sign Your Name" - Terrence Trent D'Arby
19. "Simple Man" - Lynard Skynard
20. "Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, 1st Movement" - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
21. "6 Underground" - Sneaker Pimps

Now this was an eclectic mix. Throwing Mozart in with Van Halen, Shania Twain, Ray Charles and The Dead Milkmen will do that.

382 songs, and I manage to get the same Rolling Stones song two weeks in a row.

The Mozart song was played at the beginning of the movie Amadeus. There was also a video for it on MTV at the time (1984), wherein they interspersed footage of rock n' rollers and clips from the movie. The one sequence I really remember is footage of Gene Simmons with his tongue hanging out, followed by a clip of the Austrian emperor looking somewhat perplexed.

Bitchin' Camaro! Dude that rocks!

This takes me to junior year of high school. In advanced photography we made slide shows to go with a song.* A friend and his partner made the funniest presentation of that song. They illustrated every lyric. From "driving" a matchbox camaro across a map, to throwing a box of donuts on a lawn. They borrowed some guy's camaro to do it. It was so funny we made them play it twice.

Mine was a very lame Sting song picked by my partner. We used magazine clippings. I knew it was horrid while we doing it. Blech!

We also used to sing Bitchin' El Camino everytime we saw this other guy. He *loved* his El Camino.

* This was real slides in a projector carosel. Pre-digital baby!
