Title: Songs for Tom to dissect on air
Post by: heliumsocket on September 08, 2011, 03:47:08 AM

...ala "Chestnut Mare".

Here's my recommendation:

ART GARFUNKEL - Crying In My Sleep(1978) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArudZm2_OZM&feature=youtu.be#)

Mostly for the first verse, but my lord what a first verse. I would love for this to be a new regular feature.

The Guess Who - Glamour Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLh-B13EaPg#)

I first heard this something like 15 years ago during the local college radio station's "forgotten pop of the '70s" show and it's stuck with me since then as one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Burton Cummings vs. glam! "Ricky and the Balloons"!

Almost kind of Leonard Cohen-y, except that it sucks.

Move it on Over - Hank Williams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lza3NVH6Ig#)

Very stoned one night, I decided this song was about anal sex.

Brian Wilson, basically giving directions to his house.

I laughed harder than I have in a while at 1:05 when the image came up.

as creepy as it gets, folks... Brian & crew singing to some girl about how they're about to turn her into a 'girl'. It's a masterpiece.

Don't miss the little chant section at 1:44 where they actually transform her. Carl really gets into there, too. One can actually picture this scene where these five middle-aged bearded, singing men are surrounding this girl making her shave her legs.
