Nice, New Radicals, You Get What You Give. Great tune and good advice to boot.

Come around, we'll kick your ass in...
Let's get right to it.

Oh, what the hell: BOS to "Sunscreen" just for the novelty and WTF-ness of it all.

Nicely sentimental tune, but glad they got it out of the way early. Ditto for the Sunscreen Song.

Too much resonance of "Deteriorata" in "Sunscreen," I'm thinking now.

Dead on.

U2 will get old.

I thought they already were. <rimshot>

If we're giving out BOS votes based on the WTF-ness of it all, then mine goes to the Ramones.

I'm kinda thinking the same thing, although I admit it's partly for who was singing the song. (Btw, I think that was off Joey's only solo album, Don't Worry About Me. Prescient title.)

HM to "No Such Thing," reminds me of sunny days in Boston Common.

(You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
Whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.)

Go placidly amidst the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself; and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss - and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted, that in the face of all irridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance.

(chorus)

Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you... That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth: the birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan - and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311, ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

(chorus)

Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you perceive him to be: hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. GIVE UP!

(chorus)
"Music is the Earth, People are the Flowers, and I am the Hose."

OMGWTF!  It's the Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe version of "To Sir With Love"!  Dave scores a few points, though Lulu would have been grand.
