Not a bad theme. Not that it would be heavy metal, just songs referencing metals. Silver Bells, Iron Man, Lithium. Hmmm...Nice. Shall we mark you down for a metal theme?![]()

j/k - I like the idea!! I will have to find it - I don't remember draft we were doing but I remember having a playlist with songs referring to different elements and arranging them by how you would read them going down the periodic table. One of my proudest FFA music moments.![]()
I’m not sure he has 31 good songs but he’d be an interesting entry.Not a MAD artist but I always liked Billy Squier's Christmas song.

The song is an instrumental, and is in my top 31 P-Funk tracks.I don't know if we're thinking of the same song, but one of Bootsy's records opens with what I would consider a riff on that song. But P-Funk's choruses were certainly modeled on gospel. But I wouldn't chance carrying any of the lyrics into a chapelOne of their songs begins with a tease of “Jesus Loves Me,” so that’s probably the closest they got.I'm sorry to say that P-Funk didn't specialize in Holiday tunes. I'd pay good money for a Bootsy Collins cover of "White Christmas"![]()

Ooh, there there are a ton of artists I tap out at around 10 or so.I’m not sure he has 31 good songs but he’d be an interesting entry.Not a MAD artist but I always liked Billy Squier's Christmas song.
Top 5 preview: the other part to my favorite 1-2 punch, a song from the debut that has stayed a favorite since 1st listen, the song mostly responsible for this adventure (when Schon really stood out for the first time for me), another song from Evolution that could be my #1 most days, and holy **** - a cover??!! .

Well, it was actually written… I remember sitting in this pool hall with Stone and Chris [Cornell] and we watched — this really old, really classic pool hall — and we were sitting there and it was really rainy out and George Bush came on and started telling us about the [Gulf] war and that we were going and [sighs], and the whole thing, and there’s part of that in it, when we talk about ‘I don’t question our existence / I just question, our modern needs.’ Why were we doing this? And why were we going off? And it could be interpreted as greed because some people interpret as going off to fight for their country: ‘I will walk with my hands bound.’ But the thing is it was walking away from it — ‘I won’t be taken, yet I’ll go.’ ...I mean, it just about holding your own I guess, and then “garden of stone” I think is an analogy for cemeteries.

Ryan’s true feelings on Rock Star: Supernova: “I feel like it’s been long enough that I can tell you the truth. It was hell, man. It was disgusting. It was the worst side of people on a social experiment level. I mean, you’re taught from a young age: don’t judge people. Don’t assume. And then we’re celebrating, our favorite shows in this culture, the biggest hit TV shows are shows where people are being judged. It’s a sickness. I’m not saying I’m perfect or I’m above it. I enjoy some of the smut, too. But it’s unfortunate that this is what we celebrate now. I feel like that was a part of it.”
I mentioned a few picks back with "Lemons Never Forget" that there are two Bee Gees' tunes in particular that just unexpectedly raced up towards the top of my list. This is the other one, which was actually the B-side to "Jive Talkin'" - that's a hell of a two-fer. @Pip's Invitation and I had a PM conversation a few weeks back about this being one their very best tunes. And in hindsight, I probably could have moved this up farther. The band at arguably their funkiest, with Maurice laying down a killer bass backbeat, Blue Weaver all over the place on his keys, a horn section that gives it even more funk, and Barry sings the crap out of it. Lyrically, some accounts point to themes of change, growth, and emotional reflection, which makes sense given that here in 1975, the band was in a big transformational period with their sound. In any event, this one is a real toe-tapping symphonic experience IMO - best for a good pair of headphones.

You introduced me to this one several years ago in one of our many threads. Ever since then has been a big favorite. Bootsy slappin' dat space bass like no one else.#5 Bootsy Collins - "Munchies For Your Love"
One of the ultimate headphone songs. The lyrics don't matter - Bootsy's equating sex to smoking weed- but listen to the arrangement and the way he builds it all up and up and up. Especially the vocals and, even more especially, his bass. He goes the hell off on that bass the last few minutes. Honorable mention to Catfish Collins' lead guitar part, which darts in and out at crazy intervals.
I had this song in my MAD Covers countdown thread list. It is more of a technical cover though, as it was written by Tim Maia. Here is what I said there.
If at first not feeling the song, do give some time, as I mentioned back then. Another one of those Tim Maia songs that starts off a bit slow with a build-up until the song explodes.It took him a bit of time to get his career going in Brazil, starting out as more of a songwriter. Você was written by Maia, but first appeared on an Eduardo Araujo album that Maia wrote many of the songs for (including some rock songs translated from English to Portuguese). He eventually got a record deal and recorded Você himself. It takes a minute for the soul to kick in, but the song takes off from there.
For some reason, I have an image of Whitney singing this with a Gary Coleman-esque smirk.Whitney: Whatchulookinat

Train in Vain (Stand by Me) - Remastered
The Clash · London Calling (Remastered) · Song · 1979open.spotify.com
The lyrics to The Clash's "Train in Vain" appear to be about one side of a disagreement between a singer and his lover that led to a breakup. The song seems to be a partial conversation, with the singer discussing a lack of emotional support, while the unheard woman emphasizes the importance of financial stability.
On the original vinyl copy of the album, "Train Is Vain" isn't listed on the tracklisting on the sleeve. The story is that the song was recorded for an NME promotional flexi-disc once the London Calling sessions were done, and the flexi-disc idea then fell through, leaving the song with no home. The band hastily tacked the song onto the end of the album just before vinyl pressing, but the sleeve had already been designed and there was no time to add it to the tracklisting. The only clue of it's existence is in the run-out groove on Side 4, where the name is carved into the vinyl. On all subsequent releases (including the CD copy) "Train In Vain" is included on the tracklisting on the sleeve.
