song of the day

“Lucky Ball and Chain” by They Might Be Giants. Because, why not?

Confidentially, she never called me baby doll.

How about “Pomp and Pride” by Toots & the Maytals? Sure, why not?

Garbage with “Cherry Lips (Go, Baby, Go!),” perhaps one of the best tribute songs to a person who didn’t exist.

The name of this band is Talking Heads.

The name of this song is “Love → Building on Fire.”

Today’s song, although I couldn’t find a good video for it, is “Hey Sailor” by the Detroit Cobras. The song didn’t make too big of an impression on me the first time I heard it, back in 2004 when it was featured in the fifth-season Angel episode “Harm’s Way.” But I recently re-watched Angel in its entirety — something I keep thinking I should write about, even just a little, the same way I’ve been writing about re-watching Farscape — and it’s a pretty kickin’ song.

♫ “Hey Sailor” by the Detroit Cobras

I got a song in my mind
I’ve been singing it all day
I’m gonna teach it to you tonight
Come on and answer when I say
Hey! (Hey!)
