The excellent Mr. Berg and I were driving to pick up my car from service yesterday, and we were listening to some righteous tunes in his car. His iPod brings The Rock. This spurned a conversation about songs that make absolutely no sense, but you instantly recognize as *awesome*. Here's two examples:

Whale - Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe

Len - You Steal My Sunshine

Feel free to reply with more such songs.

I must actually rather emphatically disagree with you. I don't recognize that Len song as being awesome at all.

I'm certain I'll think of some songs that quilify though; when I do, I shall appendicize herein.

Of course, Dr. Bergstrom and I were referring to the album version of the song, with the weird conversation. The radio version does not qualify.

If the song is still not worthy of awesomeness in your eyes, it will receive Provisional classification, as per The Law Of Rock statute 129.4, paragaph 8. Final classification will be determined by the Rock Congress (Speaker of the House: Stephen Thomas Erlewine).

How can you POSSIBLY think that song does not exemplify all that is Rock? You obviously don't like butter tarts.

My personal contribution: anything by Meryn Cadell. Also: "A Somewhat New Medium," by MC Paul Barman.

I must admit, I have not heard this album version.

the topic shall therefore remain under review as per statute 221.2.

I've always had a rather specific fondness for "Cannonball" by the Breeders.
