But the kicker is, it has a whistle at the end of the barrel, so if you want to play it, you have to stick the gun in your mouth.


I'm sorry, but that's just f***in' sick.

Oh, and I watched the video--not a clue as to the song, but it does sound familiar.


Sounds like music from The Godfather.

BoingBoing came through for me.  Various people IDed the song as Kaoma's "Lambada" (The Forbidden Dance!) from 1989.

Check out the awful video:

(And people think I'm bad for letting my kid stick a whistle gun in his mouth.  Hell, somebody let those two kids dance the lambada in that video!!)

Cheezy video aside, Kaoma's "Lambada" is IMHO one of the great lost singles of the '80s -- that it failed to be a major US hit (while the Macarena was HUGE 8 years later) is a tragedy. Got quite a bit of NY airplay, and I was sure it was gonna break out big. But no.

Hey Darryl : Dave read your email in the 6:00 hour and played the music clip -- Fogheads unanimously identified it as "Lambada" but he insisted it is actually music from the movie <Day of the Triffids... and from the Triffids clip he played, I think he's actually right.

Darnit!  I guess I should wake up early after I send the morning show an e-mail they might actually read on air.

Day of the Triffids, huh? I'll have to look into it...

Thanks!

Huh -- the whole movie is here:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5534209725612326856

The opening music doesn't sound like it to me.  I don't know if can really sit down and watch the whole thing.

Oh, but this is funny -- somebody on BoingBoing noticed that in the Basketball episode of NBC's The Office (first season), the same toy gun is on Michael's desk.  (Dwight picks it up and plays with it, then Michael grabs it away from him and puts it on the desk.)

It's not the opening theme music, or any part of the underscore -- it's the music that the ice cream truck at the end of the movie makes  -- SPOILER ALERT! -- which they use to lure the Triffids to their doom. At least so sez Dave.

There are dueling Dusty Springfield and Ronettes/Shangri-Las vibes at work here in the music, and the video evokes Donnie Darko:

Bat for Lashes, "What's a Girl to Do?"

Another must-hear that I'd hoped to find a good YouTube clip for: Jens Lekman, "The Opposite of Hallelujah."  Oh my what a buoyant riff.  Guess this live clip will have to suffice:

The recent remix of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "Beggin'," in two versions:

A truncated version with a weird modernized-sock-hop video


The full 5:35 version, but no "video" as such

KFOG's been playing this new Mark Knopfler, "Punish the Monkey", and it showed up right before 10@10 tonite -- I really listened to the lyrics for the first time. Sure sounds like it's about Bush/Iraq to me...

They’re driving long nails into coffins
You’ve been having sleepless nights
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
And checking on your rights
The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

You’ve been talking to a lawyer
Are you going to pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends
Somebody’s gonna take the fall
There's your quid pro quo
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

Here comes a police man
He won’t be side-tracked.
He’s asking ‘bout a smoking gun
He’s after the bad

It’s a quiet life from here on in
You dropped your poisoned cup
The telephone is ringing
But you’re not picking up
Times I've said are funky
And everybody knows
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

I haven't heard the new Joni yet, but at a party last nite for the CD release, she was asked why she took 9 years between albums:

Quote
"I was angry at the politics. Especially [at Bush]. Angry at the American people. At Christians. At theology -- the ignorance of it. And I didn't want to write about it. I removed myself from society and painted. It was a method of avoiding the anger, not addressing it.

"I couldn't listen to music for ten years, I hated it all. It all pissed me off. Music just became grotesquely egocentric and made for money. It wasn't music -- there was no muse. Music requires a muse. The producer is not a muse. He's a manufacturer. Contemporary music made me want to punch people. I couldn't stand any of it. The whoring, the drive-by shooting of it all. I don't care how well crafted it is. America is in a runaway-train position and dragging all the world with it. It's grotesquely mentally ill."

I didn't catch who it was, but someone was on KFOG at 12:50am EST covering Paul Simon's "One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor."
