Good version but I'll take the original by Blind Faith.

Did you check with Esurance dot com?

Almost a perfect song.

Quirky in a They Might Be Giants kinda way......

YaY !! My upload got added and played on Valentine's Day

Thank you B&R and Happy V-Day!

Exactly. More Prince would be quite welcome on RP...but why not play his better songs?

World Party..Nuff said...

Now I know how my mother felt like when she listened to Frank Sinatra.

One of the (considerably) better tracks from the 80's.

Hmm, "Doolittle" was the last real great Pixies-Album. "La la love you" on the other hand is propably the weakest song on it. So why this one?

I like this! never heard them before!

Damn Bill. I was just going to type a congrats on 7 excellent songs in a row, and ask what you were smoking so I could get some. Then you play this! All good things must come to an end...

Better than Coldplay.

FINALLY! We always hear the OTHER version, I prefer this one

Ever listen to the Beastie Boys' album "Paul's Boutique"? That album is almost nothing but sampling — over 100 songs are sampled — and I think you'll find it's quite original. Almost 20 years after its release, serious hip-hop critics (such as Source Magazine) still consider it one of the greatest rap albums of all time, and I can assure you, it's not because of the rapping.

The best song on the best album by one of the two or three best singer/songwiters in the history of popular music.

Beautiful tune. Scary words.

About half as annoying as the "10" you gave The Turtles - Happy Together.

I agree. Outstanding. Such dynamics, though, to a live song. Would have been truly amazing to have been there.

By far, one of the most underrated bands ever.

It would be great if they played a few more tracks off this album, maybe something with a little turntablism.

very Court & Spark-ish, but with no heft

oh, man, i love this song. 

Yeah...anything off Marquee Moon would have been better, but this is OK.

This song worked nicely in the movie, and I liked it.  But now I have heard it too many times . . . Rarity would increase its charm again, I think.

A Beautiful, Simple, Subtle, Moving, Powerful experience The song and the movie.

AWESOME!!!!! X's "Blue Spark" into Badfinger's "No Matter What"!!!!! F***ing GENIUS!!!! Thank you Bill!!!

Ah, Euro-techno-trash composers. Gimme more of 'em. Gimme a whole armada of 'em. Make Air and Daft Punk their Fearless Leaders. Zero Seven too!! Let 'em take over the planet.

I know very little by MA, but I really like this song. How's the rest of this CD?

Love these guys.......esp. the recording they did with Steve Earle

I'm surprised at the low rating for this.  The whole album offers great social commentary as the Kinks did quite often.

Sudden overwhelming desire to turn up the volume.

Oof, this just makes me think of the movie, which in turn just makes me very very very sad. This music does a great job of evoking the secrecy, tension and lunacy of the topics depicted in the film. Every American should see "Fog of War".

wait! wait! I know this one... the angry defenders of the Church! ..... no, no, no, Sinead. wait it's a trick question, the answer is 3.

Reminds me of living in LA.....Sierra Madre, actually.

very classic american singer, RIP

Man, these guys had some great music!

Hey look! It's my upload

Not in the least. However, I think the comparison applies only to their eponymous debut with "White Bird" and "Girl with No Eyes"—the Linda LaFlamme version of the band.

BTW, I don't get why folks are dumping all over Marianne Faithfull. Geez, she gets chewed up and spit out by Mick Jagger, overcomes heroin addiction, and resurrects her singing career—a triumph of the spirit over stuff that would kill most of us. My lord, that's cause for celebration, not some cheap shot about the quality of her voice. Give a little.

Yeah, this is an adequate song from a crummy album. And I LURVE Elvis.

IMHO, they have not "aged" well

In 1984 I was checking into the Holiday Inn in downtown Cleveland.Behind me was a huge black man with luggage and some music equipment.I asked the front desk if they had a workout room cause I brought my workout clothes.The man behind me asked if I played tennis...and I said yes,but I don't have a racquet with me.He said he did,and he'd like to volley with me early the next morning.That particular Holiday Inn has a tennis court on the roof.That evening while walking the halls I ran into the man and said "I didn't catch your name."He said" it's Les McCann".I said "are you a musician Les" and he said he plays piano.He invited me into his room(filled with the sweet aroma of pot)where he showed me a painting he was working on of a recent rainstorm that just came off of Lake Erie.What a great gentleman.We spoke for about an hour on music and life.This is the first time I've heard his music. No he wasn't very good at tennis.

Pure Class from the Mod Father.
Respect

Always a unique song from Cake.

This guy is so overraterd and the talent is marginal.

Double Ditto Woozur Buddy...

I'm not much for sing-a-longs, but when the crowd took on the bridge part, wow! they were right on!

I'm always impressed with this band out at their live shows. Fabulous rendition of Black, I concur.

I was listening to this album on the way to work this AM. It is truly outstanding. This track and "Sea Legs" are the best.

loved it then... still love it now.

Another fantastic film and soundtrack.

If the commercial made the band some money then cool. Thats what its all about. Would you rather have commercials playing some stupid crap that sounds like background music from a porn flick out of Chatsworth. Never the less I still enjoy the tune.

Nice recovery from the '80's, I must say . . .

In the summer of 1994, I was dating a girl who made the remark about how this song was evil and awful. My response was to say that the song reminded me of her. I haven't spoken to her since that day. Thank you Soundgarden.

Will never hear this song and not think of this.

I'm a sucker for string parts in electronica.

I'm pretty sure she's asking the man she loves to give her a reason to stop plowing through guys looking for the right one. She's pretty sure this is the guy and she isn't asking him to become anything he isn't, but she's ready to stop playing and wants to leave the field for other girls to play.

A celebration of sexuality? Yes, but of how much more sexual you become when you are totally accepted by someone. Seriously when you are playing, you can't be totally free sexually b/c you are so concerned about having your kinkiness rejected.

I think that's why she's so turned on.............

Love the drumming man....

Needs more Shane.

I think I'm in love with this man.

One of the best songs on one of the best albums by one of the best bands of all time. Amazing live.

Christopher Walken: "More flute!"
Maybe not.
Enjoy this music for what it is: a lovely suede boots feather cap journey back to eighth grade.

10:54 am - Noir Desir - Le Vent Nous Portera
10:50 am - Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me
What a great back-to-back set. Both of these songs are amazing to me.

Irritating and it overstays its welcome. The perfect storm of corporate rock.

I read somewhere that the older gentleman in the video - the "Science!" guy - was plagued by people shouting it at him randomly, sometimes sneaking up on him to do so. Poor guy.

I like very little country, but Dolly is the exception, and this is a good example of why. It's hard to define the crossover appeal some artists have, but Dolly definitely has it.

Those drums ... remind me so much of a track off an old Nik Kershaw album!

That sounds very Morphine-esque in several ways.

Why does Buddy look like the Action Figure of himself on the album cover?
'Pull the string and he says,
AREN'T WE FLYING A LITTLE LOW?'

Anyone know where the cultural meme of the sexy librarian (in particular, the glasses removal + hair down move) came from?

I trashed this cover a couple of years ago, and it really hasn't improved at all for me since then.
Why doesn't RP have any Buzzcocks' songs in its library?

Why not play William Shatner talking his way through the song?

This is so cool! Where the heck did this come from and why have I never heard of them before? This goes on the 'to buy' list for sure.

This sounds like it was thrown together in 20 minutes by some 16-year-old emo kid with Apple's GarageBand application.

I was having "The Third Man" flashbacks there for a bit in the beginning...

*sigh* I wish someone would write a song about me that would compare with this.

I like the opening, and the instrumentals in general, but his voice bothers me in this one.

Mark Sandman died of a heart attack on stage in a club near Rome in July of 1999.
They had put out four albums up until then.
Their fifth album came out in 2000 which he played on.

From where!?!? All I find is used.

I thought this song was unique when it was released in the 70's. It is amazing it still sounds fantastic after all of these years.

Ugh. I'm very tired of the soft whispery vocal sound. Too bad, I probably would like it if he got out of the in vogue soft vocal style. In fact I like everything but the vocals.

We need more Squeeze on RP.

My theory is there are certain artists who you need to discover and really love when you are young to "get it." I don't know that I would like Springsteen if I'd discovered him today.

Springsteen spoke to me as a young, suburban, lower middle class high school kid. This was in an era where we felt we had "it" all in front of us, but we weren't sure exactly what "it" was. We were the future, but in my town (Detroit), things were so depressed I didn't WANT to inherit the future. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in a town with boarded up storefronts... I needed to get the hell out! I didn't want all the problems. But I couldn't, I was in high school.

Bruce said it all to me back then.

All I wanted was to play my guitar well enough to be in a good band, meet some girl named Wendy and just meld into that "everlasting kiss." The road that led out of town was just a quarter mile from my house... and that is where it all led.

After a year of college, I DID get out, moved to California... but that's another story...

I understand that many of you who grew up in different circumstances don't get it. It's like Neil Young or Bob Dylan... neither have great voices, and all of these guys were writing about their experiences. Only those who have similar experiences will really get it.

I won't argue that Springsteen has an awesome voice, because, like Dylan and many others, it just doesn't matter. It's cool that many don't get it, but I'm sure you have a similar story about an artist favorite of yours.... don't you? Maybe someone with a less than stellar voice?

You should show them the original, too!

Please. someone give me something sharp.

I need to end it quickly.

:puke:

I may be at the wrong time of my life, or maybe the best time, but I could cry every time I hear this song.

Derivative, but I don't find them nearly as offensive as some do around here.

Bland & Boring. Great combination.

This album gets better as the years go by. A blissful melancholic coma of sound, perfect for the rainy days of your life.

Sorry to be off topic, but he only gets 8 years for murder in France?
