Today's song is...
Chicken And Ice Cream
I needed something appropriate for song 600, but that was also particularly representative of a band with over 600 songs. This bizarre track seemed perfect. I'm not sure I have ever seen fans get so excited over something so weird as this song or so disappointed when it vanished without a trace. And when it was finally included on a podcast, I swear I could hear 100 die hard fans collectively going "AHHHH."

Song of the Day - Day 599
Today's song is...
Early Fishin'
I really like the instrumental bit at the end of this song. It's a shame it is covered by a voice over. It is the sort of thing I would like to see developed into a large song idea.

Song of the Day - Day 598
Today's song is...
Meet The Elements
This song has spent some time on my Top 25 list. I think it has currently been edged out by some of the newer songs but it is still WAY up there. It is SO good. So quotable. I mean, who here hasn't looked at an elephant and said "Did you know that elephants are made of elements?" And I am constantly amazed at how lyrics with so many syllables are put together and still manage to be so melodic. The song just has such a great rhythm and melody to it. And it is so gosh darn educational. But my three most favorite things (at least right this second) are the acoustic guitar line, the backing vocals and the sign in the video that says "It Might Be Pizza." But they are just a few of the many elements that make this a most excellent song. (Did you see what I did there? :-))

Song of the Day - Day 597
Today's song is...
Lincoln, Washington And That Jefferson Guy
This seemed appropriate for the holiday. Happy 4th of July everyone. Enjoy the fireworks and burgers. Try not to blow any digits off.

Song of the Day - Day 596
Today's song is...
Your Ass Or A Hole In The Ground
Another song I have never heard, so I can't really comment on it, but the title is...interesting.

Song of the Day - Day 595
Today's song is...
Charleston
"Farm, farm, Music Farm." I think this venue song is a particular good lyrical twist on a name of a venue. Take the concept of a music farm and run with it. It is also one that is extremely easy to get stuck in your head.

Song of the Day - Day 594
Today's song is...
Too Real
If it wasn't Flansburgh singning, I would say this song was by another band. It is so not TMBG style (at least in my opinion). I can't say it is really one of my favorites, but I do the like the arrangement.
