Well, because, spoons.
Because nostalgia had me rewatching a favorite old ep of Laverne and Shirley where Vicki Lawrence was a guest star, and after 30something years it just now dawned on me to look up the original song:
For anyone who doesn’t know what classic scene I’m referencing:
“Ain’t nothing like” - 3 iterations, in the order I heard them, which is also reverse chronological order
Rae&Christian -It ain’t nothing like feat the Pharcyde (nextmen remix)
Groove B. Chill “Hip Hop Music”
Stetasonic - Go Stetsa
I need to explore this thread for my emotional well-being. Thanks to @stinkinbadgers for bumping it to the top.
Now it’s bookmarked. You’re not sliding out of view again, music thread!
I want to learn that choreography…
There’s a very familiar sample near the end of that…
I finally watched Neo Yokio, and I think my favorite thing about it may be the Swingle Singers performing Bach
I was trying to figure out where I knew the song from. I tracked down the mix where I had heard it before - a really good sampling of music from film soundtracks that Laurent Garnier put together for Solid steel
Some girls hate themselves
Hide under the covers with sleeping pills and
Some girls cut themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback
Some boys get too much, too much love, too much touch
Some boys starve themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback
Creature comfort makes it painless
Bury me penniless and nameless
Born in a diamond mine
It’s all around you but you can’t see it
Born in a diamond mine
It’s all around you but you can’t touch it
Saying God, make me famous
If you can’t just make it painless
Just make it painless
Not so much “feel good” as “desperately hopeful”.
Ugly music for ugly times…
