This month in the music club there was a pre-determined theme for every track, which made it a whole lot of fun picking songs. I can’t wait to get everyone else’s mix and see what they picked!
| Theme | Song | Artist | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| A groovy tune | Luv Wax | Stymie & the Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra | There were a thousand possible songs for this, just picked this random obscure funky tune. |
| The craziest song you’ve ever heard | Squeeze Me Macaroni | Mr. Bungle | I could easily have picked any song from this album, which blew every conception I had about what people were allowed to record. I picked it up in 1992 at a college record store, knowing only that Mike Patton from Faith No More was the singer. This song is about sex with food and is a pretty good example from the album, although probably not the weirdest thing on it. |
| Your favorite song from 1986 | Don’t Lose My Number | Phil Collins | In 1986, I was just reaching an age where I actively listened to and bought my first tapes. The first two tapes I ever bought were Phil Collin’s “No Jacket Required” and Genesis’ “Invisible Touch”. So here ya go. |
| Song you have to headbang to | I Wanna Rock | Twisted Sister | Say what you want but this is a classic. |
| Song to be played at your funeral | I Just Want to Celebrate | Rare Earth | Firstly, a great song. Secondly, it’s all about celebrating life which is what I’d rather have people who are still alive focusing on when I kick the bucket. |
| Song about the weather | Fool in the Rain | Led Zeppelin | A classic track containing a couple of the finest drum fills ever recorded. |
| Song about a body part | Dick in a Box | Justin Timberlake | You probably saw or heard this on Saturday Night Live. Awesome funny. |
| Song about prison or jail | Jailbreak | Thin Lizzy | Fun song. |
| Song about money | I Paid My Money | Ben Folds | This is from Ben’s little known Fear of Pop album which was a side project he did during Ben Folds Five. Lots of cool zany stuff on it. |
| Song about family | Family Reserve | Lyle Lovett | A Lyle tune about everyone in the family dying and finally getting back together again. |
| Song about a famous person | Hasselhoff | Johnny Socko | The finest ode to the ‘hoff available. |
| Song about stress | Pressure Drop | Specials | Pressure’s gonna drop on you… |
Hope you liked the mix. Try it yourself!
