_Oh Sherri_ – Steve Perry ( Of Journey) Tezmac, you’re fucking awesome. Trainspotting is fucking awesome. This is one of my FAVORITE songs…but no one knows who this band is around here, except me…do you know? “the sandy-haired son of Hollywood lost his faith in all that’s good closed the curtain, unplugged the clock hung his clothes on the shower rod but he never got undressed and no he never made a mess” ---

I think I may get bookoo (spelling??) points if I nail this… I’m pretty sure James Moore (Slim Harpo, Harmonica Slim) did “King Bee.” I also think Ive heard Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, and The Blues Brothers all cover that song as well. “Here she comes like a brand new day Belly dancing across the room In the moonlight I watch her sway To her rhythm I’ll go as groom, with grace, tonight” ---

Mad World by Tears For Fears. It was on the soundtrack for the movie, Donnie Darko where it was covered by Gary Jules. “We’ve bred all our kittens white So you can see them in the night And at night we’re on our knees As quiet as a mouse.” ---

_God Is In The House_ – Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds “You see me old man’s got a problem He live with the bottle that’s the way it is He says his body’s too old for working I say his body’s too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody’s got to take care of him So I quit school and that’s what I did” Ahh…one of **THE BEST** songs in the world.
