We are lucky to live within the extended broadcast range of a public-college radio station. Every now and then, they’ll play a “what is that?” song, you know, when you do a musical ear-check. Anyway, this song grabbed me, and it turns out it wasn’t new, it was old – from 1971. It also has exactly eight words in the lyrics.
What’s your most recent “what is that” song? – please share with the class.
Dirty Dirty by Crazy Horse:
And here is a fun cover by the Black Pumas at La Boule Noire, Paris France:
The Clash – Four Horsemen

Christina Perri – I Don’t Wanna Break:
Because you are (mostly) adults who can (mostly) handle two things happening at once, tonight I am launching Seven Days of Motorhead, wherein you guys do your thing and I post nothing but Motorhead songs.
Tonight’s entry is from the “classic” lineup of Lemmy, Philthy Animal, and Fast Eddie, from the first Motorhead album I ever owned. I once clipped another vehicle during a poorly executed lane change while driving too fast and listening to this album. True story.
…go Lemmy?
I look forward to this oddessy…
A friend of mine was arrested once for tagging a building with the name Moorhead. He spray painted a T between the two O’s.
We are all ambidextrous!
I still can’t find a video link for mine – or even a title or an artist credit – but if I’m lucky a bit of digital sleight of hand might let me get the audio track in one of these?
Jane says…have you seen my wig around?
I had to google this after hearing it on The Crown.
Dafydd Iwan – Carlo
I got really into this song after hearing it for the first time on that show The Magicians last year.
Cruel World – Active Child
Focus – Hocus Pocus
