Came to this via Bowie's cover - then later my friends and I used to manipulate the juke box at Max's Kansas City - we would kill songs we didn't like with the reset button, and let songs like this play.

I logged on to complain, but then I saw the album cover. The font alone is worth it. Funny!!

As crappy as this sounds (and I love crappy sound) we may very well likely not hear this on internet radio much longer.

Wow! What an imagination.

This was my favorite song when I was in second grade. I liked it so much that during "art" one day when the teacher told us to draw a picture that told a story, so I drew my 7-year old imagination's picture of this song, as if it were a comic strip. I had all the lyrics and separate panels with profiled faces with triangles and squares floating in front of them, sand dunes, soldiers, and even a big box with crazy curlicues for the guitar solo. I'll never forget the lumpy oatmeal paper and the giant #1 pencil.
That's a fun memory.

A lot of the transitions here are ultra-smooth, but that was just jarring (from U2 - Dancing Barefoot to this)

Bowie also does a great cover on Pin Ups. The whole album is great covers.

hmmm.

Come on, same play list once in 6 months (although it probably is more than that), beats the hell out of once every three hours like you get on FM, no?
