I always preferred this versionNo deep track here - one of their all-timers and their first #1 song in the US. While often viewed as just another one of their early fun-loving tunes, underneath it is an innovative opening fuzz guitar, stop-start rhythms and keyboard line working in and out. In terms of vocals, I would put this one on their Mount Rushmore of harmonies).
The Beach Boys zamboni "I Get Around"
One of my favorite elements of the song is the accompanying promotional "video" they did for this.

You can see the awkwardness of Brian here, which foreshadowed his anxiety about performing in public. On the other end of the spectrum, you have his younger brother Dennis on the far left having a good old time while annoying Mike Love.
A bit more on Dennis for those that don't know his backstory. Dennis was the fun loving/hard living middle brother of Brian and Carl, and really couldn't hold a candle to them musically or vocally. He was the only one in the band who actually surfed despite their association with the hobby. Like many of his contemporaries, he was a big druggie, and a few years later got heavily involved with Charles Manson and his family all the way up to and after the Tate-LaBianca murders. By many accounts, he's lucky that he wasn't taken out as well by Manson & Co. Through the '70s, he continued to have major drug/alcohol issues, married 5 times, and ironically drowned in southern California (Marina Del Rey) in the vicinity of the beaches that were the cornerstone of their image.

Strand of Oaks #22 - "Sunbathers" (2021)
The second of five songs from the seventh Strand album In Heaven. Tim wrote some lyrics with weird imagery at the beginning of his career but even then, most of his songs dealt with personal matters. He moved further away from the symbolism as his career progressed but "Sunbathers" is a return to the bizarre.
He had stopped drinking in 2019 so In Heaven was the first album he made without alcohol. I've read his interviews from the period and he's pretty careful to avoid saying he's sober which might explain "Sunbathers". He's said he doesn't know what it's about but to check back in five years. I hear a little bit of "Wonderwall" and a lot of U2 in the song.
And the pictures kept moving around the school
Of a woolly mammoth sunbathing by the pool
And the saber tooth smiling for the pictures looking cool
And the woolly mammoth sunbathes by the pool

#22 Long Breakdown
The middle of their 1990 album Dark at the End of the Tunnel is what solidified my interest in doing this for a MAD31. I tend to listen to albums in random order when an artist starts to interest me. Because I already new 2 off their most known album, I randomly picked Nothing to Fear and fell for that and added the whole album, then added 5 from their debut. Next I jumped to this one to see if liked anything from their later era. I thought a couple at the beginning were interesting, but it was Long Breakdown that really hit home. I don't really want to do artists for these that I don't like most of their output. Not my favorite album, but there are two more coming up still on the countdown so at least 3 really clicked from this album.
As I said, this is where I fell for Elfman's voice. I was already hooked on the music, humor, lyrics, but this brought something else. After the brief discussion the other night about Elfman's voice it really brought to focus how much it changes over the albums and how much the music morphs with it. Most of the albums sound slightly different as he starts singing more traditionally and their songs start sounding more like straight ahead rockers. It's a reason I thought they would be good for something like this and most people could find at least a song or two they liked, even if they didn't fall in love with the band as a whole like I did.
Next up: a way more "80s" version of those dystopian themes from Perfect System and a more direct literary tie in.

More a comment on my ignorance and biases. I made the connection to the Stray Cats at least, but knew nothing else of him. My guess was I'd like a few songs, but it's generally not music that is in my wheelhouse - similar to the other two artists I listed with him. So the surprise has been that I have liked most of the songs and the different styles of music that has been on the playlists from him. Good stuff.

@Leroy Hoard - you might want to relisten to that Dio track. There was a mistake on the playlist, so it looks like you listened before the switch was made.

I don't expect anyone here to watch this stuff, but there are daily livestreams of the memorial, and Steve's wife has asked us to share them on our social media. I'm considering you all social media. 
Day 1 stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/-h2pkVtqGmY
Day 2: https://www.youtube.com/live/4r-Vjjuc_Ik
Day 3: https://www.youtube.com/live/ayGJHcRqDCU
Day 4: https://www.youtube.com/live/223nSlx2H08
Yesterday included tributes by Heather (wife) as well as Steve's mom and brother. Performances were by Jack McBrayer (reading some hysterical correspondence involving Steve), Fred Armisen (who I see every time I turn around), and musicians Rachel Grimes and Shannon Lay, neither of whom I knew of but both were great. All of the festivities each day are hosted by people from Second City. Kind of a low-key first evening.
Probably the highlight of the night was OH taking Jeff Tweedy's kids' money at poker while Tweedy made fun of them for being so bad at it.

I’m lucky to have a Saturday where I can relax and listen to the #22s. It was a very strong round, with familiar artists featuring some songs I thought might be higher (while knowing lots of good stuff is to come), and of course many new experiences.
Selected (and Shuffled) #22s
Maybe Someday - The Cure
I Wouldn’t Want to Lose Your Love - April Wine
I’m Satisfied - Fanny
I Get Around - The Beach Boys
Razorblade - Blue October
Hello, I Love You - The Doors
Fish Fry - Big Black (/Steve Albini)
Long Breakdown - Oingo Boingo. Different from their usual style, but I dig it.
(She’s) Sexy + 17 - Stray Cats (/Brian Setzer)
Lady Starlight - Sweet
Oh Yeah - Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry
Shuffle Adventures:
Shuffle put The Tea Party just before “For The Price of a Cup of Tea” by Belle and Sebastian. Serendipity! Also two songs I (not surprisingly) enjoyed.

Some List 22 thoughts...
- "Long Breakdown" has a more straightforward approach to it vs some of the quirky and energetic tunes that have shown up so far. The lead singer sounds really good.
- I can hear that U2 influence that's been mentioned in "Sunbathers." I like the song.
- "(She's) Sexy + 17" is some good rockabilly.
- I like the music in "Maybe Someday." I've always liked Robert Smith's distinct voice. I wish they had come around to my side of the tracks on their recent tour.
- "Give It Away" is good. I like the vocals and the music. I love when he uses the violin as a guitar like he did in the live video.
- Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds are always good as a duo. The guitar playing in "One Sweet World" is sweet.
- "For the Price Of A Cup of Tea" is pleasing to me ears.
- The guitar and organ stand out to me in "I'm Satisfied."
- "I Wouldn't Want To Lose Your Love" has a nice piano. I like their sound.
- I didn't know this Emotions song. The singing and music are as smooth as glass.
- My cat, the Rizzler, moved her ears around and looked at me wide eyed when "Fish Fry" came on. I looked at her the same way.
- "Cue Synthesizer" is cool sounding.
- I like the music and vocals on "I Bet On Losing Dogs," and I like the fuzzy outro.
- My favorite part of "Hello, I Love You" is the intro.
- My favorite part of "Metal Gods" is the end. j/k in a way! My favorite part is the outro.

- I like the slow drum beat in "Soulbreaking." It fits the mood of the song.
- "Something He Can Feel" features Aretha, and that is always a good thing. I like how the horns are used lightly in the background in this song.
- "Save It For A Rainy Day" is a toe tapper.
- "Strange Highways" reminds me of a song that would be in a movie about a troubled teen or teens. I think it has a foreboding feel to it.
- "Silent Treatment" is nice pop rocker.
- I like the Circus band's vocals in a "A Box of Everything."
- I like when he gets his voice high in "Lady Starlight."
- "Oh Yeah!," Bryan is showing off his vocals again.
- I like the intro to "Razorblade." The outro has a scariness about it.
- "Naked Sunday" is rockin,' and I like the drumming at the end.
- The vocals sound good to me on "Lovely To See You Again," especially on the chorus.
- "I Get Around" reminds me of listening to the BB's hits as a youngster. Fun song.
- Chvches and Robert Smith doing "Just Like Heaven" sounded good. Robert's hair is interesting. I don't know how anyone can listen to this song and not dance.
- The piano in "Quiet, The Winter Harbor" has a sadness about it, and so does her voice. I like it. I like the guitar that comes and goes too.
- I'm digging the instruments and the song in general in "Freedom Hangs Like Heaven."
- I like the slow drum beat in "Soulbreaking." It fits the mood of the song.

Guys?! I'm gonna make you all Silkworm fans (a bit too late since they don't exist anymore). In a day full of incredible performances, there's was the most stunning. Unfortunately the stream of today's events seems to be down right now, so I'll have to post some links when it comes back.
We missed the morning session, and OH was bummed when he learned that one of the performers was a favorite band, Scrawl.
The highlights of the afternoon for me were Dianogah (who proved to be more than just NPR bumper music), the aforementioned Silkworm, and some cobbled together group that included Jeff Tweedy, Sally Timms, Matt Sweeney, and others?
The evening was off the chain. Joe Lally of Fugazi, Helen Money, and someone else(?) doing Sonny Sharrock was only the third best part. Jeff Tweedy did an incredible set that culminated with his bringing out his youngest son, Sammy (he of losing his money to OH in poker last night), who is un-****ing-believable. His voice and phrasing are ridiculous, especially for a kid (early 20s?). I thought that was going to be the end, but then...the Breeders!!! I wanna be Kim Deal.
Each musical performance was so meaningful, and most every artist has cried as they introduced their songs. There are also comedy bits, Second City improv, and a continuing in-joke involving Jack McBrayer. In between, Steve's wife often speaks extemporaneously, and it's all so beautiful and heartfelt. You can really, really feel the

I caught some of the trio of the woman on cello, drummer (Fugazi?), and other person. I saw all of Jeff Tweedy and Sammy. Sammy singing "Both Sides Now" was emotional. It's such a beautiful song, and he did really great. I wouldn't have been able to hold it together if I were Heather listening to that. I did see Heather talking about Steve, and sharing the story about them giving the less fortunate gifts at Christmas, and stuff like that. I saw the Breeders setting up, but missed their set. Thanks for sharing the links, and the updates. I'll check out Silkworm later on when the video is working again.

Wasn't "Both Sides Now" just gorgeous?!
We aren't supposed to take pictures or video, which is pretty nice generally, but I happened to be about 20 feet behind Heather while she was standing and watching Sammy sing this, and the beauty of it caused me to cheat just this once.

DRUM SOLO!!!
Producer - Chinn/Chapman
Writer - Elmer Bernstein and Sylvia Fine
Chart Positions - Album Track
Album - Desolation Boulevard UK edition 1997
Year - 1974
Lead Vocal - Andy Scott
Steve Priest Vocal - Music only
Notes - After Brian Connolly had his throat stomped on, the band were struggling to fill tracks on the Desolation Boulevard album. What better way to fill space than an 8 minute drum and percussion extravaganza from the wonderful Mick Tucker. He is in his element on this track, while Andy Scott has fun on guitar and the limited vocals. Watch the 8 minute live version linked on youtube for the skill of Tucker
Next Up - We turn to Steve Priest as a vocalist with a song post Brian Connolly that has a really nice chorus, but the rest…yuck.

#21 - "September"
I have no way of knowing how to check this but, if I had to put money on the most-played EWF song across all mediums to date, it would be this one. It was a cross-format smash when released (****-blocked on the charts by the Bee Gees war wagon or it probably would have been EWF's second #1) and remains one to this day.
And with good reason, as it's one of those perfect records. Everything works and in the right measure: White's lead and Bailey's chorus, the horns snapping in & out, the guitar line, percussion, all of the hooks are in the right places.....
By the way, Maurice White is one of those singers who must have been sick the day his elementary school taught kids how to pronounce the letter "R". Usually, he does the "ah" in place of it (like many singers do). But, here he does something I've never heard (before or since): "sep-tem-BO". And it's not just once!
Next up: an early album cut.

Album - The Bones of What You Believe (Target Deluxe Bonus Edition or Asian Deluxe Edition)
Year - 2014
Notes - I will let Covermesongs.com explain it
Last month, Billboard hosted a Women in Music luncheon, honoring pioneering women in the music industry. Janelle Monáe was named as Billboard’s Rising Star – appropriately so – during said luncheon, and to celebrate, Scottish synth-pop trio Chvrches delievered a dreamy and dramatic rendition of Monáe’s infectious “Tightrope.”
Chvrches lead singer Lauren Mayberry tells the audience (including Monáe) that she hopes they like it, and if they don’t, to at least pretend to. Luckily, no one had to pretend. Stylish, downbeat heavy, and full of their own brand of personality, Chvrche’s rendition is the same caliber as the original, even if they are on completely different ends of the aural spectrum.
Next Up - We continue with the covers. A very recognisable song done beautifully by the band.

From their 2009 album, approaching normal. There’s a bit of yelling, raw emotion in this one. Sorry, not sorry
"That song is about not being a passive idiot anymore and not letting people take advantage of you anymore just because of who you are. I wouldn't say that we're famous… we are just normal people that get put on TV and stuff. That is just who we are… so if that makes us famous like the E! Entertainment crap, that's not us. People want to see you in that part and think you are rich, and they start to come out of the wood work…and they start asking for things over and over again, and that song's about just taking it too far. There was an incident that happened, I can't even talk about it… but I took care of it, wrote the song, and that's my revenge. I use my words as weapons. No one will take advantage of my family again. I usually do all the writing and on this new album everyone did some writing and it was really special to me."
. "But that song really brought out this more confidence side of me and not the, ‘Oh hate me because I am bad’ side – I don’t do drugs anymore and I don’t f*ck with that stuff, I have a daughter now so if anybody wants to take food off of her plate then they are going to have to come straight through me whether it be verbally, and I hope not physically because I try to teach self-expression instead of physical violence! You know?"
Oh god then you awoke
You started screaming through the duct tape
Don't ever think I'm letting you go
I'm busy digging you a hole
Now you'll be living in a dirt room
Breathing through the straw of your own
Come on
I really think that this is fun for the money
I'll make it comfy for the time wasted making you rich
I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey
Then take a picture for the cover of our album!
But really, I just like the beat.

Legal Man, 1st selection from Push Barman To Open Old Wounds, Vol. 2 (2000), "seems to be a playful and somewhat satirical take on the idea of love and relationships, presented in a legal framework. The song uses legal terminology and contractual language to describe the dynamics of a love affair."
Belle and Sebastian kupcho1 Legal Man
Overall, "Legal Man" playfully explores the idea of love within the framework of legal language and contracts, touching on commitment, communication, trust, and the desire for a more fulfilling and joyful existence.
It's a clever take. I like it (21st most)
Not withstanding provisions of clauses 1, 2, 3 and 4
Extend contractual period, me and you for evermore

I see what you did there with the placement!
This is obviously one of their best songs, but these days it seems to be considered their signature song. In the late 70s and 80s I remember it being one of their most popular songs but not far and away above their other big hits.
I would guess its ubiquity at weddings is the reason.

21. Changing Horses
Album: Fanny (1970)
Writer: Nickey Barclay
Lead vocals: Nickey Barclay
Changing Horses is one of Nickey Barclay's songs that appears on the "official" version of Fanny's self-titled debut album but not the Canadian version (which likely reflects an earlier tracklist) and was selected as its first single (it did not chart). The comparisons of Fanny to the Rolling Stones start with this song. Its chugging guitar and driving piano riffs would sound right at home on Let It Bleed, and the licks June Millington plays at the end of some lines are a dead ringer for Keith Richards'. Nickey Barclay's frenzied vocal recalls Mick Jagger in spots, as does her phrasing on the bridge. And the lyrics' theme of dumping a lover who cheats on you is one that had been well-trod by the Stones and other rock acts by 1970. But this is no "tribute act" jawn. It's a thrill-a-second ride that helped establish Fanny as far more than a novelty gimmick.
The album version begins with a lengthy piano interlude and some studio chatter; these were almost entirely cut from the single version, which clocks in at a mere 2:08.
There is no surviving evidence that this song was performed live, but given its status as a single and its high-energy performance, you figure it had to have appeared in live sets during shows promoting the debut album, and possibly thereafter.
The single version is on YouTube but not Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfW-lNHdQzY
At #20, a song that will give you the feels, especially if you are a parent.

On Your Wings- Iron and Wine
from Our Endless Numbered Days (2004)
God, there is gold hidden deep in the ground
God, there's a hangman that wants to come around
God, give us love in the time that we have
The opening song to my favorite Iron and Wine album... "On Your Wings" mixes Beam's guitar picks with rolling slide. at a about a minute in, the percussion gradually come in, vocals fall off, and the band plays off in a minute long mini-jam. This is one of those rare songs where (for me at least) the instrumentation carries the song much more than the vocals or lyrics.

"You and Me" is a song featured on the 2009 DMB album "Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King." This album was significant as it was the band's first release after the death of their saxophonist LeRoi Moore, and the song "You and Me" stands out as an uplifting and positive track within this context.
The lyrics revolve around themes of love, companionship, and the idea of shared dreams and possibilities. It emphasizes the strength and support found in relationships, with a chorus that expresses optimism about the future and the potential for achieving great things together. The song conveys a hopeful and affectionate message, making it a popular choice for weddings and celebrations.
Musically, "You and Me" is characterized by its gentle acoustic guitar melody, backed by the band's signature rich instrumentation, including violin, horns, and percussion. The arrangement is relatively straightforward compared to some of Dave Matthews Band's more complex compositions, focusing on creating an uplifting and accessible sound.
"You and Me" received positive reviews for its heartfelt lyrics and catchy melody. The song peaked at #32 on the US Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart, and at #57 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart. In October 2010, Billboard ranked the song as the year's #3 "Triple A" song, a listing of the Adult Alternative songs played the most on American radio.
The music video I linked in the playlist features scenes of the band performing interspersed with clips of various individuals and couples, highlighting the song's themes of connection and shared experiences. The visual presentation complements the song's positive and inclusive message.
Here are a couple other versions I like:
- Live at 2010 Grammys (30+ musicians performing the song, very cool performance)
- Live at Farm Aid 25 (Dave and Tim)

Back to The Impressions, and a selection from their 1964 Keep on Pushing album. This one is all about the harmonies for me. They trade off vocals at the beginning, but it slowly builds until around two minutes in, they come together and create a special sound. Todd Mayfield writes of this one:

The Smithereens put out three albums before grunge became a commercial force in 1991. The first three albums charted better than the other ones, but they had four or five years to "land in the mainstream" before most people had heard of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.
My stations in Philly played them regularly, but them being from NJ probably helped with that.

#21 WAKE UP (IT'S 1984)

Yep, firmly back in the 80s with the sound of this one and the video is so 80s as well. This one and next Sunday's track are both from Good for Your Soul. It just seems to me that while liking songs off all the albums, this one also seems to be a bit of a transition album. There is still the silly sense of humor in the lyrics, but as you can see with this track they are moving more from their ska/new wave sound into a more 80s synth sound. Danny is also singing more traditionally more often as we go. As they went along, I also think the lyrics aren't quite as dark or biting. As I said on Tues, I think of this one as a more "80s" version of the similar song/themes as Perfect System. For me what sells me on this song is the transition to the group singing when we to the "Open your eyes, sisters and brothers" part of the chorus.
This week we will get our one-off from the only album left that we haven't heard from, a song that wasn't in contention until I heard the live version, and an Elfman diss track?

I doubt most Dave fans would rank this song this high. My wife and I have been married 32 years this week, and I have a "love mix" playlist that has evolved over the past 15+ years. This is one of two Dave songs on both that playlist and this one. She has been disabled since 1998, so our life together has been challenging in many ways, and the lyrics of this song are very meaningful for us.

TBH, they sadly only had themselves to blame. I didn't learn until after the fact that Cameron Crowe gave them a chance to provide the theme song for Say Anything (set in the Pacific Northwest/home of grunge, no less) and Pat wrote A Girl Like You, which basically told the whole story in the song. Crowe felt it was too on the nose and went with Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes.
Ultimately, it was their own 'niche' sound that doomed them from pop success, but I've made my peace about that.

Chart Positions - Album Track
Album - Desolation Boulevard UK edition 1997
Year - 1974
Lead Vocal - Andy Scott
Steve Priest Vocal - Music only
Notes - After Brian Connolly had his throat stomped on, the band were struggling to fill tracks on the Desolation Boulevard album. What better way to fill space than an 8 minute drum and percussion extravaganza from the wonderful Mick Tucker. He is in his element on this track, while Andy Scott has fun on guitar and the limited vocals. Watch the 8 minute live version linked on youtube for the skill of Tucker
Next Up - We turn to Steve Priest as a vocalist with a song post Brian Connolly that has a really nice chorus, but the rest…yuck.
