What Music are You Listening To? - 67, the Summer of Love

[Comrade Ceasefire]

I already posted this a page or two ago . If I understand correctly it's not a real song, it's an AI spoof

I didn't think it was from the 1950's because the audio quality was far too good.
IIAC, I can blame you for why it appeared in my suggestions.

Had to bust out some classic disco to get my [behind] in gear this morning: "Got to Be Real" (1978) by Cheryl Lynn, and "He's the Greatest Dancer" (1979) by Sister Sledge.

To steal my own joke, from the Severance thread:

Me, in my head:

Norwegian BM again. This is Thorns.

One of the most intense songs I’ve heard.

 

[Narz]

 

[EgonSpengler]

Dance like nobody's watching.



I couldn't make any decisions this morning, so I just told Spotify to surprise me. Maybe my favorite Talking Heads song, "Pull Up the Roots" (1983). I highly recommend listening to this on headphones or proper stereo speakers. Tina Weymouth, the bassist, is doing some fun stuff with very short notes. I think she's bending some of them? I'm letting the YouTube vid play on my PC while I type this, and I can't really hear the bass at all.

Do not operate machinery while consuming this product. You'll end up going 120 mph. "Jesus Christ Pose" (1991) by Soundgarden.

I like (one of the band's) old stuff better than his new stuff.

And, of course, the live version from the aerobics era you hinted at with the dance moves gif.

I'm still partial to Burning Sensations' version (mild NSFW warning, I guess). The Repo Man soundtrack was one of the albums that spun my head around when I was 15 and turned me on to a punk.

Now, though, I think I like Burning Sensations' "Belly of the Whale" (1983) more.

Chorus seems overlong to me, but a very sweet song still

Well, [shoot]. R.I.P. Steve Albini.

Definitely one of the better versions. The one by Talking Heads is awful, despite one of the band coming from The Modern Lovers.

Stan Ridgway at his best (apart from Camouflage, of course!).
I must be a hipster - still only 2.9k views after 15 years!
