Petula Clark - “I Know a Place”. We were blasting the heck out of it last night. 🙂 ---

I tried in vain to find a clip of Homer singing “Girls Just Want to have Fun” from that flashback episode. ---

As with most situations, my favorite song to hear when I get off work for a couple of days is (of course) **Motörhead** ’s [_Ace Of Spades_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YttBoorUksc). > [@Ol\_Gaffer](#): > > Back when we used to have a Z-Rock station, they used to play a song every Friday called **Tap the Keg**. I have no idea who it was by but it wasalways appropriate. That would be [Tap The Keg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKKTdFlHdEA) by SGM, also known as Shotgun Mama, a Seattle punk/metal/rap band that put out just one awesomely fun album, _Aggression_. And yeah, I heard this on Z-Rock stations back in the late '80s too. ---

Counter-pick here: _One for my baby (and one more for the road)_ - Frank Sinatra There are three of us in an office and we’ve taken to playing music during the day, that’s always the end of day song. ---
