30 day music meme #21

21. A song you like with a person's name in the title
Fehlfarben - Paul ist tot

Watch on YouTube

German post-punk isn't necessarily my area of expertise, but I heard this song on a recent trip and fell completely in love with it; that early-80s pinball arcade desperation, that dissonant guitar, that wet-asphalt-and-neon sax...
What I want to have I won't get
And what I can get I don't like

McCartney? Oh, we know McCartney. Beautiful melodies and all that, but he's all goopy love songs and bland platitudes. He never talks about anything real.

Uh huh.

I just wanted to mention that listening to Ravel's "Bolero" is something I often do while writing fic, but I don't think those first stanzas have ever seemed more beautiful than right now, as I gaze at your icon of Beavis and Butthead jerkily headbanging along. In fact, I'm saving the icon just so I can repeat the experience.

One of few songs not improved by Aretha.

Huh huh huh. You said "bolero".

Do you have a full list of the meme prompts you're working from? I'm sort of wondering if I'd like to do my own.

I do! Would love to see your take on it.

Missed that one

I wonder if this is the same wind? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3xy0ZpIoeE

Nope, that's a different one.
