Great Songs (underrated and long-forgotten category)

*applause*

 

Bless you, Songbird. Bless you.

Maybe the best one-hit wonder of the '90s. That song is just fucking great. It reminds me of the last road trip I took in college to the conference basketball tournament. After the alma mater got smoked in the first round, we went to a bar and a cover band RIPPED on that song, My photographer buddy and I got into a huge mosh pit. The whole time, I'm like "This is never going to happen again."

Good times, even if tinged with a bit of a bittersweet taste.

 

TV Dinners was on the Classic the other night. It was like Ghoulies before Ghoulies.

:-[ :-[ :-\

My bad. Back home, my Catholic mother has no idea why she just shuddered.

It's still a good song.

BYH, thanks for reminding me which video this was....Chynna was hot, but this, to me, was her coming out party

And poor Carnie...they're walking down the hall in skimpy clothes, but there she is with the Fleet Farm special two-person tent...

Seriously, pick a dozen Billy tracks ... five more that could easily end up here ...

"All For Leyna" - I know Dools likes that one.
"She's Right On Time" - A great pickup after "Goodnight Saigon"
"The Mexican Connection" - Never mentioned much because it's an instrumental ...
"Baby Grand" - So Ray Charles is also a favorite of mine, eh?
"State of Grace" - Never gets mentioned off of "Storm Front"

Carry on ... Billyjack over.

 

What a gorgeous, perfect pop song that is.

 

From the same group that did She's Tight. Much as the same group that did Rock and Roll All Night did Beth. Weird.
