Agree on the placement just not the gap between it and #2. I would have put the Stop Making Sense version in my 31.

Why do you hate being hugged by your grandma?Oh, then I for sure skipped over it.Yeah, I’m not upset you didn’t read all my posts carefully because I’ve been on a tear but the secret lies in the Jimmy Buffet discussion I posted.
The funnier thing is as I was now going back to catch up on the longer posts, I remember reading your posts yesterday, intending to reply to a couple this morning, and totally skipping that last paragraph when I read "Buffet". I see all the important info in there now and think that's a fun idea. I was making a joke above about skipping and thought is was funny that it turned out to be true.

SLEEPING GIANT
I love the sludginess of this one. The sound fits the title and imagery of the song so well. I guess they accomplished this by switching guitar parts - Bill is on lead here and Brent is playing rhythm. This is one that has turned into a at least a top 10 song for me after all the listening research. I was listening to the list yet again last night, and I realized that the end of the playlist naturally is a showcase for him and I really haven't talked about the old grump much yet. After watching countless interviews and reading countless interviews, Bill is one I grew the most appreciation for from the guys. He fades in the background, gets lost in the mix because he's the only one who doesn't sing, and is delivery comes off as monotone and sarcastic. I have his personality and sense of humor mixed with Brent's work ethic. I say that because Bill is the backbone of the group as far as drive and focus for the group, but also as far as musically the backbone of the songs. He is the one of the group with a schedule, writes riffs and music non-stop, has the studio in their house - you know, the one who keeps the group together. Several years he battled his drinking issues, and so he puts even more energy into the band now. I hadn't mentioned it yet, but Scorpion Breath was a couple playlists ago and IMO features some of his best and heaviest riffs. I say "some of" because the album closer for Emperor and my playlist closer probably features their best guitar work as a team. So good.

Oh, hell yeah. I am guessing I'm not alone. One of your tunes inspired me to start yet another playlist for myself - songs that I seem to be incapable of listening to just once when it comes up. I forgot how much I love You Worry Me and what a visceral reaction the songs gets from me. I saw them live several years ago and they put on a great show, but it was an artist I still was new to besides songs off two of his albums.

I started a new job that doesn't lend itself to much music listening weekday mornings, let alone focused listening. I very rarely got more than a handful of songs in each day as now I spend 75% of my day in meetings gathering (or resisting) work for my team rather than doing it myself.

They only have three albums each of which have a different sound. They are all good. I'd recommend diving into one of them over a playlist. Maybe pick the one that had more of the songs that you found intriguing?

Déjà vu
An excellent Crosby tune (with more weird tuning) that's basically about reincarnation. Crosby got the indirect inspiration when he first went sailing on a friend's boat, and he realized he intuitively took to / knew sailing for no apparent reason - it made him wonder (and by all accounts he became a master sailor). I like the voices in the beginning, whatever it is they are doing.

1 - Running to the Sea feat Susanne Sundfør
m.youtube.com
Year - 2014
Appears on - The Inevitable End
Vocalist - Susanne Sundfør
Key Lyric - I could hear them howling from afar
I saw them rushing to your car
In a moment all went screaming wild
Until the darkness killed the light
Notes
1- The band have never talked about the meaning behind the song, but it clearly is about the atrocities committed by a nationalist where 77 were killed in the Utoya shootings. An event that rocked Norway. The killer was wearing a police uniform as he shot innocents. He received 21 years jail. The maximum Norwegian sentence.
On the track, Susanne Sundfør’s hauntingly melancholy vocals capture the moments of the July 22 terror, amidst the “burning houses” in Oslo and the rush to watery refuge in Utøya.
2- the lyrics make it clear
I remember running to the sea
The burning houses and trees
I remember running to the sea
Alone and blinded by the fear
3- “For a long time we’ve been considering an artist collaboration with Susanne Sundfør, and the final anniversary show of NRK Lydverket turned out to be the ideal time and place. The chemistry and vibes between the three of us was out of the ordinary “Röyksopp says.
4 - The pair have collaborated on 9 songs, 6 are here with all in the top 18. The ones that failed to make the cut are Tell Him, The Mourning Sun and Save Me
5- Röyksopp
Initially, we thought about performing a pure cover version, but the chemistry and vibes between the three of us was out of the ordinary, which led us to put together a new track from scratch. The song 'Running to the Sea' was written and recorded in two days, just in time for the TV performance.
"Susanne possesses a unique combination of distinctiveness and international talent, unique far beyond the borders of Norway. In addition, she has insightful knowledge on cooking inside a pit dug out of the ground."
6- Sundfør had already had two number one LPs in Norway prior to working with the band including the number two selling album of the year in “The Brothel”
7- The official video features themes running through the song. The loss of a child etc. the director wasnt told what the lyrics were about and interpreted it as a father grieving the loss of a daughter. It sort of was.

Appears - The Hurting LP
Year - 1982
UK Highest Chart Position - #3
US Highest Chart Position - Did Not Chart -
Key Lyric -
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Notes
1- This song was slated to be a b side until the record exec earned his keep. The first track recorded for the album, this breakthrough hit was inspired by the view from Orzabal’s Bath flat and originally slated as a B-side for Pale Shelter, until producer Chris Hughes and A&R David Bates recognised its considerable potential. “It’s a static melody,” Orzabal admits. “Curt’s voice made the song legitimate, or else it would’ve gone in the dumper.”
2- The Previous singles had all flopped and this was they key that unlocked the bands potential onto a wider world.
3- Mad World' hasn't dated because it's expressive of a period I call the teenage menopause, where your hormones are going crazy as you're leaving childhood. Your fingers are on the cliff and you're about to drop off, but somehow you cling on.
Roland Orzabal
4- Two decades later, Gary Jules sang 'Mad World' for the film 'Donnie Darko' and got the Christmas No 1 in 2003. That was probably the proudest moment of my career.
Roland Orzabal
5-This was written by Roland Orzabal but sung by the group's other vocalist, Curt Smith, who connected with the tune right way. He explained it "was easy for me to sing because I could relate to Roland's lyrics. We were both the middle of three sons and had been brought up by single mothers with absent fathers. My father always worked away, and died when I was 17, but I hated him by that point. It hit me later in life, but back then I was teenage and angry. The song was the perfect platform. It worked better with my voice because it's more melancholic, darker."
6-Roland Orzabal came up with this song when he was living in an apartment in Bath, England, with his girlfriend, Caroline, who later became his wife. She was working three jobs so he could work on his music (a keeper, for sure!). Orzabal spent a lot of time strumming his acoustic guitar while staring out the window, watching people go about their business. "It's a bizarre viewpoint to watch people go about their daily routine, having to work for a living when you're sitting in a flat, unemployed," he told Top 2000 a gogo. "That's where it came from."
7- The song was also influenced by the English synthpop group Dalek I Love You, whose songs tapped into Orzabal's lifelong struggles with depression: "One of their lyrics went something like, 'I believe the world's gone mad,' which summed up my feelings of alienation from the rat race. I had suffered from depression in my childhood. My dad had been in the second world war, had electric shock treatment, suffered from anxiety and was abusive to my mum. I kept a lid on my feelings at school but, when I was 18, dropped out of everything and couldn't even be bothered to get out of bed. I poured all this into the song."
8- Mad World" was originally written on acoustic guitar when Orzabal was 19 after being inspired to write a new wave song in the vein of Duran Duran's "Girls on Film". After a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, he suggested Smith sing it and "suddenly it sounded fabulous".
9- With Mad World's again-resurgent popularity, I'm getting asked more frequently about the last line on the album version from The Hurting, a line which I occasionally also sing in concert. The actual line is: "Halargian world." (Not "illogical world", "raunchy young world", "enlarging your world", or a number of other interesting if not amusing guesses.) The real story: Halarge was an imaginary planet invented by either Chris Hughes or Ross Cullum during the recording of The Hurting. I added it as a joke during the lead vocal session, and we kept it. And there you have it.

8- Mad World" was originally written on acoustic guitar when Orzabal was 19 after being inspired to write a new wave song in the vein of Duran Duran's "Girls on Film". After a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, he suggested Smith sing it and "suddenly it sounded fabulous".
9- With Mad World's again-resurgent popularity, I'm getting asked more frequently about the last line on the album version from The Hurting, a line which I occasionally also sing in concert. The actual line is: "Halargian world." (Not "illogical world", "raunchy young world", "enlarging your world", or a number of other interesting if not amusing guesses.) The real story: Halarge was an imaginary planet invented by either Chris Hughes or Ross Cullum during the recording of The Hurting. I added it as a joke during the lead vocal session, and we kept it. And there you have it.

Little Miss Magic
Favorite when feeling sentimental.
Released in 1981 on coconut telegraph.
Jimmy Buffett - Little Miss Magic - Directed by Delaney
How did you spend your quarantine? Jimmy Buffett asked the fans to tell him which songs, not in his usual repertoire, would they like to hear? Within minutes...
youtu.be
Sometimes I catch her dreaming and wonder
where that little mind meanders
Is she down along the shore or
strolling cross the broad Savannah's
I know in time she'll learn to make up her own mind
In time she's gonna learn to fly
Oh that I won't deny
I see a little more of me everyday
I catch a little more moustache turning grey
Your mother is the only other woman for me
Little Miss Magic what you gonna be?
(Although the mother line may be ill-received out of context)

Black midi — Sugar/Tzu
I humbly request that you watch the video for this song instead of just listening from the playlist. It helps to understand what’s going on.
As you watch, keep in mind that the song isn’t primarily about the boxers. It’s about the little kid.

Much like my queen list, my #1 Kid Rock is a very personal song to me. The year was 2002. I had gone through an unexpected divorce and started having seizures again (I was 30 and hadn't had them since I was 14 and had a cyst removed that was causing them). I had a seizure while I was driving that caused me to roll my car 7 times through the median of a divided highway and get struck by another vehicle. I was told that if I had been wearing my seat belt it probably would have killed me because the roof of the car was even with the hood. I did break ever bone in my left foot along with my left collar bone so I was confined to a wheel chair for a very long time along with not being able to drive of course. I was more into country music at the time, because that is what my ex wife was into, but my younger brother told me about this new artist he had heard that had a distinct sound, so I found the Devil without a cause album. The first time I heard this song, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I would play this song over and over. I was brought up in a very religious home, but like most who have it forced down their throats growing up, I had moved away from it, but still believed in God. I was very angry and trying to figure out why all of this was happening to me, but decided to "keep moving on and only God knows why".
20 years later, I have a great life. Married to a wonderful woman for 18 years, Have 5 great kids and now 3 grandchildren, a job that appreciates me and pays bills. I still play this song a lot because no matter what happens, "Only God Knows Why"

Talking Heads
#1 Burning Down the House
OK I lied. Way back around #7 I said that any one of the songs from that point on could be #1. But that's just not true. This is my favorite Talking Heads song by a healthy margin.
Let me take you back to August 13, 1983, Stanley Theater, Pittsburgh PA. Me and some friends were driving by the venue and saw that Talking Heads were playing that night. So we immediately stopped the car and went to the ticket window. As luck would have it, there were 5 tickets left for the 5 of us. We were in the last row of the balcony, but there were no bad seats at the Stanley.
What a fantastic show. Byrne comes out alone with an acoustic guitar doing Psycho Killer. Next song, Heaven, Tina joins him on stage. As they move from song to song, more of the band and backing group join them on stage.
They played Burning Down the House 9th. But something seemed off; even by the 9th song they didn't seem to have the full complement of players on stage (and they were still coming out on song 10, etc.).
No worries. They did two encoures and Burning Down the House with the full band was the final song of the night. It was amazing.

1. Wait a Minute
While the original version appeared earlier, I include this one anyway because it represents a sense of closure for me.
About a year ago, I somehow stumbled upon this version that comes from an album recorded for and released through the Smithsonian Institution. In addition to the band, other contributing artists include founding members John Starling and Tom Gray, occasional contributor Richie Simpkins, and Ben's son Chris-a guitarist with his own band. Emmylou Harris is also listed as a contributing artist on the album, but not this song.
I think there's a certain charm to this version, even though I still think Duffey's voice has no match. My father says he doesn't care for this version, but it's grown on me.
Coda
Even with no original members left in the band, the Seldom Scene are still a draw and something more than just a tribute band. They last released an album in 2019. The theme sounds interesting; Per a Washington Post write-up, it's made up of covers of 'classic songs that were being penned as the optimism of the 1960s melted in the harsh light of the 1970s--tunes made famous by Harry Nilson, John Prine, Bob Dylan and others.' Here's one final bonus track: Everybody's Talkin'.
The Seldom Scene's connection to my childhood and adolescence is also an example of my connection to my father. Even though he and I heard them on different levels, they nevertheless provide a common interest that we have been able to talk about for over 50 years. He was motivated to learn to play and build his own banjo, which he still has to this day, and I expanded my musical horizons, such that when I hear bluegrass, I sometimes notice the Seldom Scene's influence, especially when it's out of the box material. Bluegrass will never be a regular part of my listening habits, but it is akin to a language I recognize when I hear it spoken.
Thanks for listening and thanks for the likes.

Selected favorites from the #2s. Yep, I ended up a bit behind again. Writeup and playlist later tonight. #1s will come on Monday. Hopefully also there will be a bit of respective on the whole experience this time around, and (separately) a relatively brief overview of my feelings about the other playlist artists. Those will happen eventually; we’ll just have to see if it’s Monday. But first things first. Shuffled! For the last time (this time around)!

Familiar songs:
Life During Wartime - Talking Heads
One Particular Harbour - Jimmy Buffett
Crawling King Snake - John Lee Hooker
Make it Wit Chu - QotSA
Neutron Dance - The Pointer Sisters
Purple Rain - Prince. Of course Bonus Points for including the Super Bowl performance too
New discoveries:
Death Dream - Frightened rabbit/Scott Hutchison
The Only Thing - Sufjan Stevens
Hold On, Hold On - Neko Case
S.O.B. - Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats
Carl Perkins’ Cadillac - Drive-By Truckers
Thunderclouds - LSD/Sia
Shuffle Adventures:
Lots of good shuffle experiences here, of course. But I’m going to say that I most enjoyed the foursome of John Mellencamp followed by Cheap Trick, then Incubus and finally Nick Cave. I could’ve put all four above, but instead they end up here.

As expected, this is my favorite round. What a collection of amazing songs. Bravo to everyone.
Known-to-me favorites from #1:
Little Red Corvette
Burning Down the House
Chandelier
Will the Wolf Survive?
Only God Knows Why
Sinnerman -- Another I learned from the US MAD countdown
Sabotage -- Phish surprising us all by covering this for the first time as the encore of a show I saw in 1998 remains one of my most thrilling concert experiences. I also saw the Beasties play this at Lollapalooza 1994.
Ohio -- #4 on my Neil countdown, highest among his CSNY songs
Moonage Daydream -- I picked this in the second(!) round of a Bowie song draft I did on another board
Jump (for My Love)
Rain on the Scarecrow -- My favorite Mellencamp that's not on Lonesome Jubilee
Hunger Strike -- The memories from college rush back
No One Knows -- If Homme had released this in the early '90s, he would have been propelled to the same level of adoration as Cobain, Cornell, Vedder, etc.
Go for Soda -- The only Mitchell song I knew before this exercise. It's a perfect iteration of Boston's sound.
The World I Know
Mad World -- Though I like the Gary Jules cover better.
Angel from Montgomery -- Up there with Dylan's best songs. Think about what that means.
Selfless, Cold and Composed -- Aside from Todd Rundgren's I Saw the Light, this may be the closest a man has come to performing a song that sounds like Carole King.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Petty, Prince et al version) -- While I associate this more with Prince than Petty and don't include it when ranking Petty songs (same with Handle with Care), this may be the most powerful "all-star jam" performance I've ever heard.
The Bleeding Heart Show -- Became their signature song (in the US, at least) when its incredible coda was featured in a ubiquitous ad for the University of Phoenix. It's been their show closer (in the US, at least) ever since.
I Cover the Waterfront
Man on the Silver Mountain -- This is the song that put Ronnie James Dio on the radar. I expected it to be #1 not only because the list was more or less in reverse chronological order, but because it's a towering achievement of hard rock.

I stumbled up this (almost perfect) series on YouTube called "Behind The Vinyl" some years ago, in fact, I've mentioned it previously in one of the other countdowns. They've had Alex Lifeson from Rush, Lou Gramm from Foreigner (Juke Box Hero), George Thorogood (Bad To The Bone), etc. I mention it because they also did one with Kim Mitchell and the #1 song of his I picked. But the premise of the series is that the artist puts the song on, on vinyl and they get exactly the length of the song to talk about whatever they want to talk about regarding the song. No-one asks them questions, they just plop the needle down, the song starts playing and they go. Love it.

30. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (with Stevie Nicks) (Zegras #18)
31. Since You Said You Love Me https://open.spotify.com/track/1gI87DXgQZWd22Lx6fuerv
Since You Said You Love Me is the song I expected few of you to have heard of. It appears on the Playback box set and the Through the Cracks compilation. It's from a transitional period in 1975 after Mudcrutch broke up and before Petty formed the Heartbreakers with fellow ex-Mudcrutch members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Mudcrutch had been signed to Shelter Records before imploding and the label wanted to retain the rights to Petty, its frontman. They experimented with various approaches for about a year until the Heartbreakers was formed. This song answers the question, what would it sound like if Petty had gone the route of Daryl Hall and focused on blue-eyed soul? To my ears, the answer is, pretty damn good. Al Kooper plays organ, Emory Gordy plays bass and Jim Gordon plays drums.

Great job with both lists - as admitted I’m not a huge fan of Rock (love Queen) but as I pointed out there were 5-6 songs a I really liked a lot. There were a few others I was really liking and then it would turn sharply into something else entirely.
Much like my queen list, my #1 Kid Rock is a very personal song to me. The year was 2002. I had gone through an unexpected divorce and started having seizures again (I was 30 and hadn't had them since I was 14 and had a cyst removed that was causing them). I had a seizure while I was driving that caused me to roll my car 7 times through the median of a divided highway and get struck by another vehicle. I was told that if I had been wearing my seat belt it probably would have killed me because the roof of the car was even with the hood. I did break ever bone in my left foot along with my left collar bone so I was confined to a wheel chair for a very long time along with not being able to drive of course. I was more into country music at the time, because that is what my ex wife was into, but my younger brother told me about this new artist he had heard that had a distinct sound, so I found the Devil without a cause album. The first time I heard this song, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I would play this song over and over. I was brought up in a very religious home, but like most who have it forced down their throats growing up, I had moved away from it, but still believed in God. I was very angry and trying to figure out why all of this was happening to me, but decided to "keep moving on and only God knows why".
20 years later, I have a great life. Married to a wonderful woman for 18 years, Have 5 great kids and now 3 grandchildren, a job that appreciates me and pays bills. I still play this song a lot because no matter what happens, "Only God Knows Why"
As far as some of his personal stuff, I chose a dude that’s been accused of abusing women, in the first round of this, so I’ve always tried to separate the art from the artist.

Oh and even though your #1 has some of the trappings of the songs I don’t like - I do like that one.

For me, their vocals, especially on the chorus, make up for the cheesy production.Sorry. This one just doesn't click with me. I think the synths bump me.Oh man, my favorite Pointer Sisters song didn’t make the top 31 (unless I missed it).

All My Happiness Is Gone
Friends are warmer than gold when you're old
And keeping them is harder than you might suppose
Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go
Some of them were once people I was happy to know
Mounting mileage on the dash
Double darkness falling fast
I keep stressing, pressing on
Way deep down at some substratum
Feels like something really wrong has happened
And I confess, I'm barely hanging on
All my happiness is gone
All my happiness is gone
It's all gone somewhere beyond
All my happiness is gone
Ten thousand afternoons ago
All my happiness just overflowed
That was life at first and goal to go
Me and you and us and them
And all those people way back when
All our hardships were just yardsticks then, you know
You know
Not the purple hills
It's not the silver lake
It's not the snowcloud shadowed interstates
It's not the icy bike chain rain of Portland, Oregon
Where nothing's wrong and no one's asking
But the fear's so strong it leaves you gasping
No way to last out here like this for long
'Cause everywhere I go, I know
Everywhere I go, I know
All my happiness is gone
All my happiness is gone
It's all gone somewhere beyond
All my happiness is gone
Songwriter: David Craig Berman
This song was David Berman’s suicide note. He took his own life one month after this album’s release, shortly before his tour was to start. I was crushed. I tear up every time I listen to this song. It’s a rough one for me. But that’s why I love it.
As great a songwriter as he was it’s not surprising that his poetry was also fantastic. Check out his book: https://www.amazon.com/Actual-Air-David-Berman/dp/0965618366/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=LZHNLMKL0XFW&keywords=david+berman+poetry&qid=1702794192&sprefix=david+berman+,aps,202&sr=8-1

Nina Simone MAD 31 Spotify playlist (31-1)
Full playlist above. I trailed off posting for the my last few, some quick hits below, but I think most of these require little explanation.
3. I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free (from Silk & Soul, 1967)
This was originally written as a jazz instrumental by the musician Billy Taylor. Lyrics were eventually added to it, and Nina Simone‘s version converted it to more of a soul song.
2. Feeling Good (from I Put a Spell on You, 1965)
One of Nina Simone’s most famous songs. While the song is maybe heard nowadays as having some bad cover version provide the background music while a narrator details the deleterious side effects of some pain medication, Nina Simone’s version still just speaks to me (the combination of her voice with the horns and strings just perfect).
1. Sinnerman (Live in New York/1965) (from Pastel Blues, 1965)
Another song where can see the influence of Nina Simone’s upbringing from her Methodist minister mother. This is a traditional spiritual song, which Nina Simone extended and created a new arrangement for to turn it into a 10 minute epic tour de force masterpiece. This was a frequent closing number for her in her performances at The Village Gate.
I hope you’ve enjoyed (and, if not, thanks for indulging). I’ve enjoyed listening to the other lists, but paused around the 5’s as been in a holiday music spirit the past couple of weeks (listening to the playlists in the Eephus thread and researching songs there). Looking forward to listening to the rest and exploring the artist playlists. Thanks again to @Zegras11 for running this and @KarmaPolice for the playlists.

1. Town Called Malice
Album: The Gift (1982)
Released as a single? Yes (UK #1; double A-side with Precious)
If you are not too familiar with The Jam, this is probably the one song of theirs that you have heard before this exercise. It was the heavy lifter of a double A-side that became their third UK #1 and has been used extensively in popular culture, including in the following films: National Lampoon's European Vacation, Billy Elliott, The Matador and Spider-Man: Far From Home. It also achieved the band's greatest chart success in the US, hitting #31 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In addition, its video was in pretty heavy rotation in the early years on MTV, and thus the song played a large role in my interest in Paul Weller's career. And it has by far the most plays of any Jam song on Spotify, at more than 185 million.
Town Called Malice represents the culmination of everything Weller was working toward as far as incorporating soul music into his sound. It is not simply a Motown pastiche; it is a soul song every bit as well-written, well-arranged and well-performed as Motown's greatest works. The syncopation of Bruce Foxton's bass, the memorable organ trills, the Cockney accent that Weller sings in that's every bit as expressive as the best soul singers but in its own way: The song is simply a masterpiece.
While the music is as uplifting and fun as it gets, the lyrics hit on a frequent theme for Weller, the struggle of the working class. It's about growing up in the working-class town of Woking and dreaming of leaving there for a better life.
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change
This town called Malice
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
In a town called Malice, yeah
Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called Malice, ooh yeah
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings
Lost laughter in the breeze
Could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh
In this town called Malice, yeah
In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
In its list of Paul Weller's 30 best songs, The Guardian ranked Town Called Malice #7. They wrote:
"A snappy, super-smart Motown pastiche that’s Ray Davies’ favourite Weller song, which makes sense: a eulogy for the passing of a Britain destroyed by the rise of Thatcher, the gaucheness of his early lyrics is gone, replaced by incisive lines, evocative images and wit (“I could go on for hours and I probably will”)."
The title is a play on the title of the Nevil Shute novel A Town Like Alice, which Weller had not read at the time he wrote the song. Two versions of the single helped the double A-side reach #1; the main one was the album versions of both Town Called Malice and Precious, and then there was a 12" single with a live version of Town Called Malice and the extended studio version of Precious. The decision to combine them for sales purposes was controversial, as JML referred to in his Stranglers writeups from MAD 1. With this single, The Jam became the second artist to perform both parts of a double A-side on Top of the Pops, after the Beatles.
Weller began performing Town Called Malice again when he added Jam songs back into his setlists around the turn of the century. One of my favorite moments in his entire recorded catalog is the ending of his acoustic live album Days of Speed (from the tour where he began playing Jam songs again), in which the crowd excitedly joins him for the "ba-ba-ba-ba-bada-bas" in the middle of Town Called Malice. This kind of communal exuberance sums up the power of live performance as much as anything.

Cover #1: David Watts

Album track, All Mod Cons (1978); released as half of a double A-side with 'A' Bomb in Wardour Street (UK #25)
Lead vocals: Bruce Foxton and Paul Weller
Writer: Ray Davies
Original or best known version: The Kinks
When Paul Weller retrenched to Woking to work on new songs for All Mod Cons after his and Bruce Foxton's original batch had been rejected, he played a bunch of Kinks records and derived a ton of inspiration from them, adding that band's musical textures and Ray Davies' brand of social commentary into his own band's work. The connection was made even more overt by the decision to record a cover of the Kinks' David Watts, with Foxton handling most of the vocals, as his voice better matches the nuances of Davies' than Weller's does. The Jam's version is brisk and ripping, with excellent vocal interplay by Foxton and Weller. The piano trilings at the end are a sign of the more adventurous arrangements in the band's future. And the lyrics, about a working-class boy who is jealous of an upper-class boy, tie in well with the themes Weller worked into his own songs.
Thanks to all of you for joining me on this journey!
