A Special Repost

Due to a recent e-mail I received, here is a repost of two versions of the same song. I originally wrote about it on October 4, 2007. Back then I used Zshare and well, as expected those links are now inoperative. You can read all about what I originally wrote back then right here.

Yep, you'll now be able to receive both the original and the 12 inch version of the song Driver's Seat, by British band Sniff 'n' the Tears, off of their album Fickle Heart. Yeah, they're a one hit wonder band (and I haven't heard any other songs from them; just on YouTube I should be able to find more tunes by them, and who knows, another one of their ditties may show up on here one of these days) but what a great one hit to have.

Anyhow, the e-mail I got stated that they had been looking for the 12 inch version of the song for a long time, but had never found it. From Google (I'm assuming) they found my original blog post on it, but they wanted me to upload that again so they could hear it. Of course I am more than happy to oblige in those kinds of requests. If you ever want me to upload a certain song again, I should be able to do it. Just shoot me an e-mail at Blairpac@aol.com and once I can find that particular song, it should not take too long for me to fufill your request.

To be complete, here are both versions of the song.

I'll still be back on August 1 with a new song. I just wanted to fulfill this request ASAP.

Shoot From The Hip

I've always wanted to have this blog be a place where you can find a variety of songs; that isn't always the case, but tonight I'll post a tune from a genre I haven't represented in awhile. It's a ditty from the breakbeat world.

This song is from the UK breakbeat artist Slyde, with fellow Brit, the reggae/dub gal known as Lady Posh, doing the vocals. The song is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, from the album Everyone's Entitled To Our Opinion. You can listen to it on Slyde's MySpace page (which I already linked to) but I'm sure you'll enjoy it… at least if you like that genre of music. It's very catchy, and you have to love the 80's videogame sound effects used. By the way, that entire album is pretty cool. The tune Sex & Drugs is neat, and the video... reminds me of Meet The Feebles, always a good thing in my opinion.

I'll be back on the 1st of August with another song.

A Tasty (And Fluffy) Treat

I have ideas on some songs to put up on here in the near future, but due to time constraints, here is what I'll post now. It's yet another song that's often misidentified on file-sharing services and other places.

The song is a remake of the tune known as Popcorn. It's probably best known for an early 70's cover done by Hot Butter. Hear for yourself, and you may recognize it. What I'll be posting is a pretty Goddamn great cover done in 1987 (or 1988; I've heard either date be used). Just about everyone identifies it as a tune done by Kraftwerk, even though this sounds nothing like something Kraftwerk would do, aside from it being an electronic ditty. It was actually done by M&H Band, or from what I understand, musician Mark Haliday working under that name. More details can be found here in the blog known as The Red Room, where there are two working links to the song.

If you want a 7 minute version of the song that's slightly different (aside from being almost twice as long) go here to WFMU's blog. It's under "U96 Popcorn".

I'll be back on Friday the 25th with another song, or maybe two different songs in one post...

Check Back In 24 Hours

n/a. Long story, but I'll have something up in about 24 hours time.

More Comedy Rap

Here is something I wanted to post awhile ago, but I had to post some other things first. But now I have the time to present this. It's a rap tune, a genre that I don't post enough of. It's a comedy tune that is "inspired" by a popular rap song from last year. It's from Afroman. Yes folks, Afroman is still around. Most people only know him for Because I Got High. Remember how popular that song was back in 2001? You had it played on Top 40 AND hard rock stations. It wasn't long after that, that his popularity went down the tubes and unless you're a hardcore fan of his you never heard another tune after 2002 or so. But, he's apparently been putting out stuff since then, including a new album this year called Waiting To Inhale. I stumbled upon one of the tunes, called Dicc Hang Low. With a title like that, you'd expect lyrics to be raunchy, and I'd link to them, but no site I know of carries them. But, it includes bon mots like "My dick's hard in this broad" and "Keep the condom on, I gotta check your colon"... enough said.

Yes, the tune is a riff on Chain Hang Low, a ridiculous song in original form even before you take into account the melody being an old minstrel tune! Jibbs is probably another one hit wonder himself, but that's not the point. Anytime that tune is parodied, you can't be bothered by it.
