Turbo Lover - Judas Priest

Image
I am not much of a metal fan, heavy or otherwise, but this song is so funny that I just love it.  It´s from the 1986 album Turbo.   .The name of the song says it all.    With lyrics like this who can resist? We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive And everything goes rushing by, with every nerve alive We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry. I'm your turbo lover Tell me there's no other I'm your turbo lover Better run for cover Pure poetry!!! TURBO LOVER - JUDAS PRIEST

Hat Films - Neon Musk

ALBUM SYNOPSIS: Well I was poking around on Bandcamp looking for something interesting and boy did I find it.   The album is called Neon Musk by Hat Films/Yogscast and it instantly caught my attention.   First off it has this intro with this otherwordly deep voice talking about the Crocoman Empire with half-human, half-crocodile creatures and a bunch of crazy history.    There is track after track of songs and interludes that keep the sci-fi vibe going strong and the songs are catchy, funny and cool.    I recommend dimming the lights, having a drink or a smoke or something and enjoying the whole album from start to finish.  Starship troopers prepare for takeoff!

Like a lot of young boys growing up in the 80s I couldn´t help but be attracted to  "that Bangles girl". I just found out that her name is Susanna Hoff.   Anyway, indie singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks seems to share my feelings.     THAT BANGLES GIRL - ROBBIE FULKS

Jim´s Big Ego - Stress

Jim´s Big Ego is a Boston-based band that was formed in 1995.   On their website they claim to be " the greatest band in the history of recorded music."  As you can see from this quote,  these guys have a good sense of humor and their songs are quite funny.  The founder, and I believe principal member of the group, is Jim Infantino, songwriter, author and nerd.   He has an interesting website with all his creative ventures on it.  Anyway, I recommend you start with the classic song Stress.   It has one of the coolest trumpet parts that I have ever heard in a pop song. It is a conversation between the horn and a person and you can actually understand both sides of the dialogue.   Very original and very funny. STRESS - JIM´S BIG EGO
