RD 14:  Trust Me To Open My Mouth - Squeeze

These guys songs hold up ...like really hold up.  Perfect pop.  Doesn't hurt that Difford & Tillbrook write very Beatlesque stuff and Tillbrook can sing the #### out of anything.  Also didn't hurt that the golden-throated Paul Carrack sang "Tempted" either.  

song link. 

Like it?  Give their Singles 45s & Under album a try.

When I saw Roger Waters on the Radio K.A.O.S. tour Paul Carrack was his keyboard player. Before Roger and the rest of the band came out, Carrack came out alone and played tempted solo on piano/keyboard. It sounded so good.

13.02 Super Furry Animals - The Man Don't Give A F###

I'm catching up, but the single's cover and inscription are of Robin Friday, one of the most anonymous yet insane soccer players of all time.  He's like the George Best who never made it.  I highly recommend browsing his Wikipedia page sometime, it's great.  Some highlights:

Cardiff boss Jimmy Andrews bid £28,000,[1] half of his offer a year before, which Reading's directors accepted, wanting the troublesome player off their hands as quickly as possible.[83][84] Friday was reluctant to go to the Welsh club, saying that it was too far from home, that he wanted to go to a First Division team and that he wanted more money than was being offered;[84] however, when Hurley told him that unless he went to Cardiff he would be released, he agreed and travelled to Wales on 30 December 1976.[85]

On arrival at Cardiff Central railway station, Friday was arrested by the British Transport Police for having travelled from Reading with only a platform ticket.[7][30][86] Andrews bailed his new player out of police custody and took him to Ninian Park to sign the contract.[86] Despite the manner of Friday's arrival, and although he knew there "had to be something wrong with him", the Cardiff manager was still happy with his purchase, describing the £28,000 transfer as "an absolute steal".[87] After a long night of drinking the night before his Cardiff debut, Friday lined up against Fulham on 1 January 1977. The Fulham defence included former England captain Bobby Moore, but Friday marked his first match for the Welsh club with two goals; he also squeezed Moore's #### during the game as Cardiff won 3–0.

In his very first training session they were playing a six-a-side game and Robin went around trying to kick as many of the established Reading players as he could. He must have put two or three out of the game. Hurley had to call him off ...

Despite his immediate impact on the pitch and the upturn in Reading's form, Friday's off-the-field activities unsettled some of his team-mates. Most tolerated his lifestyle because of his importance to the team, but some, particularly defender Tommy Youlden, were sceptical.[32] He drank extremely heavily, favouring American Colt 45 malt liquor,[33] and his antics during his drinking sessions caused many landlords to lose patience with him. For example, Friday was barred from Caversham's Crown public house after he ended a night there leaping between the tables and dancing on the bar.[33] The Boar's Head in Reading banned him on ten separate occasions.[34] One night, after the pubs closed, Friday and a friend, Rod Lewington, went to an all-night club called Churchill's where they could continue drinking. When they entered, Friday, wearing a long overcoat and hobnail boots, walked onto the dancefloor and removed the coat to reveal that he was wearing nothing underneath. He then began to dance, completely naked apart from the boots.

Friday was known at Hayes for his excessive drinking, and on one occasion the team started a match a player short because Friday had not turned up. When he finally arrived, eighty minutes after kick-off, his intoxication was obvious, but he was still sent onto the pitch with the match still goalless. The opposition paid him little attention and Friday scored a late winning goal.

Unfortunately it didn't fit this draft, but Tempted is one of my favorite 80s songs.

I've been put under a couple of times for surgeries, and apparently I lose my #### as I'm going down.. some people do this and I am one.  Can't remember any of it obviously, but from the sounds of it and the way I am treated afterward it's not a very pleasant situation for those involved.  Probably all that bottled up rage and whatnot.
Click to expand...
I had surgery back in October, first thing in the morning so I was one of the first out of surgery.  I started coming-to in the recovery room, looked over in my haze and there's a dude on the bed next to me too with like 7 different nurses scattered around the room.  Whatever.  I'm groggy, sitting there, nurses checking on me, and dude next to me starts like freaking out and trying to break out of his bed.  They pull the curtain closed so I can't see him but he's flipping out, screaming, they're trying to hold him down and whatnot.

A handful of nurses convene, must have been the in-charge ones, and the one goes "get him out of here <pointing at me>".  Nurse comes over to me and says "normally we would keep you in this post-anesthesia room for another half hour, but we need to get you out of here immediately because we need all hands on deck for him", and they wheel me out of there.  He kept shrieking and screaming, they had to call his surgeon into the room to try to calm him down and ####.  It was terrifying.

At least that's what I think happened.  Never can tell after the anesthesia.

 
14th round - Eleanor Friedberger - "I Won't Fall Apart on You Tonight"

I saw her live maybe 2 years ago now, tiny venue, and there couldn't have been more than 25-30 people there.  The stage isn't elevated so she basically spent the entire show staring directly at me in front of the stage with that awkward look she always has on her face.

Apparently it was her first tour with a new drummer, and she kept saying - totally deadpan - that every time he ####ed up, she was going to withhold some of his pay.  Followed by a slight cackle.  She ended up stopping 2 of the songs halfway through and making him restart so he could get it right, and then she would make a dig that she was going to be keeping some of his money.  I like to think she was kidding, but I'm not sure she was.  The drummer looked terrified.  It was bizarre.

 
14 - Melanie - "What Have They Done to my Song Ma"

As I mentioned earlier, this is one of the most important songs of my life.

I love all these drafts, but what in God's name are you guys doing with this one?  What are we drafting next?  3-toed animals?
Click to expand...
Just songs with more than 6 words in the title.

So far it goes up to one by Sufjan Stevens that is 53 words long "The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'"

Maybe after we do a couple others, we need to do a draft of songs with exactly 5 words in the title...

After all the research for this thing, it got me wondering - have we ever done a draft with "One Word Song Titles"?  Could see someone possibly using it as a theme.

@Eephus had a great idea with the spinner/dominos style draft.

Here is a post from earlier in the thread by JML with some other drafts. I seem to remember people talking about a single word draft. Is that true @John Maddens Lunchbox?

13.17 - Morrissey - You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side

Morrissey has written many songs with long titles so choosing one from his Smiths and solo catalog was tough.  I'm going with the leadoff track from the Your Arsenal LP, which I think is as good an album as he's ever been associated with.

This is Mozza rocking at his hardest.  It isn't exactly Pantera but the dual guitars of Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte provide backing that combines elements of rockabilly, glam and punk.

Love Morrissey, he's such a ####.

For some reason I am stuck trying to find songs with 11 word titles; I've only been able to find one. So I will skip it for now and will keep looking. (I am trying to get 2 each of lengths 6 to 14 words, with two extra.)

14.04 - Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be A Long Long Time) - 1972 - 12 Words

Didn't know this had a parenthetical title. Kinda feel like you're just making it up. It's just Rocket Man.  ROCKET MAN!!!  Burnin' up his fuse out there alone...
