    Thanks, man! I'm still tilting at windmills (and probably always will be).

    As for the tune - I like it. 8.26/10 I've never watched the show, though.

    Here's a show tune from my era: http://youtu.be/cEaRCAcfOEQ

    BTW, just wrote him into our Private Eye story over on another thread.
    Uhhhh...

    Can't go wrong with Isaac Hayes. Sadly, the extent to which my generation is privy to this man's brilliance is reduced to his voice acting role as the character "Chef" in South Park. 9/10

    7/10

    Time for some hardcore, obstreperous, and insolent Thrash metal music:

    Hard to argue with Anthrax. 8/10

    I once saw this singer described as an 'effervescent songbird', but I try not to hold that against her.

    The video is truly bizarre but the song is a solid 7/10.

    I think I'd like driving to that, but it's a bit sleepy for me. 6/10

    Seemed like too much a novelty act for me, but I did listen to it all the way through which counts for something. 6/10

    Bit romantic isn't it? Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just for me. And mountain goats really are very unimpressed creatures. 6.5/10

    We were all buried there, buried under the soil of Canada...

    I really like that. I love the juxtaposition of really angry and violent lyrics with such cheery, energetic music. 8.5/10

    I work with one year olds, some are closer to that one year mark and others are closer, or at, the 2 year mark and they absolutely love this song. As soon as I put it in the cd player, all activity, even the fighting, stops and they just start dancing.

    That's a good song. 8.5/10

    Let's get something with an historical background up in here. This song is about a Finnish sniper named Simo Häyhä. He had one year of state-mandated military training and was living as a farmer when the Soviets invaded Finland during the Winter War, so he grabbed his modified Mosin–Nagant and headed into the woods with one day's worth of supplies every day for 100 days and killed every Soviet that came into his kill zone. He has the most confirmed kills in any major war at 505, which he accomplished in an extraordinarily brief span of time, WITHOUT using a scope (he didn't want the glare to give him away). The Soviets mounted several missions just to take out this one guy but couldn't, and because of this, plus his white camouflage, they called him "The White Death."

    8/10. Nice song. Nice band. Their songs are lyrically pretty awesome.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNA7nA5aqHM

    This song isn't really about all that much, but it's the first song that came to my head for some odd reason, so rate away!

    I really liked that, I'm going to look into that band. 9/10

    Here's Rush singing about the storming of the Bastille.

    Ooh, there's stained velvet, dirty lace,
    Naked fear on every face.
    See them bow their heads to die
    As we would bow as they rode by.


    I love Rush. Hear the echoes of the centuries, power isn't all that money buys!
