You know those songs that you remember from years past? Songs so different and under appreciated it seemed like you were the only fan? Just this morning I was thinking of the choice lyrics of The Dead Milkmen. "You know what Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here, in the trailer park.....I said Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows a burrowell lives in a hole in the ground." Why have these words stuck in my noggin? Oh, and hip hop really sticks, Hi-C: "All the girls they just love me, but my gerry curl's greasy." Some of the fellings I had of - Am I the only person that has heard this? come from my location. Collinsville, Oklahoma is not known for much of anything but I doubt that awards for free thinking or quirky music are forthcoming. Austin, Texas it ain't. I remember it was like confirmation that the Earth was not flat when I discovered that someone else in the zip code knew who Sir Mix-A-Lot was and liked him. I remember introducing bands to my older sisters. I had them doing the Humpty Dance months before their favorite college club was banging it. So, class your assignment for this Lazy Sunday is dust off your cassettes, 8 tracks, LPs, and such and reintroduce yourself.
