Weird Al Yankovic - “Christmas at Ground Zero”
from Polka Party!

(N.B. “Ground zero” does not refer to 9/11. This song is from 1986. Don’t make the same mistake the Washington Post did.)

Never one to shy away from a morbid topic when there’s humor afoot, this is one song in the Yankovic oeuvre that was actually banned from the radio for being a little too morbid. Some might dismiss Al as just a goofball parodist, but his original songs are often brilliant and pull inspiration from whole genres or one person’s body of work — this one is a riff on Phil Spector’s production and orchestration style. Of course, the fact remains that his work sells because it’s fucking funny, and “Christmas at Ground Zero” certainly qualifies.

The Sugarhill Gang - “Rapper’s Delight”
from Sugarhill Gang

Does anyone else know this entire song by heart?

Steely Dan - “Daddy Don’t Live in That New York City No More”
from Katy Lied

I’ve been listening to this a lot. I’m not sure why. Probably because I’m becoming Can’t Buy a Thrill levels of obsessed with Katy Lied.

Driving like a fool out to Hackensack
Drinking his dinner from a paper sack
He says I gotta see a joker
And I’ll be right back

All night long, we would sing that stupid song

And every word we sang, I knew was true

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - “Wrap It Up”
from Tuff Enuff

I actually love The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Jimmie Vaughan, but I always kind of shake my head when I watch this music video (or “Tuff Enuff” for that matter). So painfully ’80s, and it doesn’t look like the song, if that makes any sense.

Fatboy Slim - “Weapon of Choice”
from Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars

Nothing is beneath Christopher Walken. Remember that, kids.

Normand Baron - “Le blues des glorieux”

Olivia and I are talking about guilty pleasure music and she mentioned some music in other languages. I listen to a lot of Latin rock and pop, but it’s not a guilty pleasure. No. This is a guilty pleasure. And the little image preview probably tells you why.

Billy Ocean - “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car”
from Tear Down These Walls

I’m bored and home from school, so I’m music-spamming y’all today. It doesn’t matter how good or bad the song is — if I feel compelled to inflict it on everyone, I shall do so.

First up: one of my favorite horrible ’80s songs. And it has something that the other horrible ’80s songs don’t have. That thing is a saxophone-playing duck.

Brian Culbertson - “Sensuality”
from It’s On Tonight

When I was thinking of how I would describe this song to talk you into listening to it, most of the things I came up with were a little too…evocative, shall we say. Suffice it to say, the title of the song should give you a good idea of what it’s going to sound like, and the album is the kind of thing you put on the stereo to set a cetain mood. Really hot record, and no words getting in the way, telling you what’s going on. You gotta feel it. And you will.
