Show Notes
This week we're talking about a song featuring my favorite trope: "ooo"s in the chorus! I've bribed/cajoled Diana Parry-Cruwys to chat for a little while about the Dandy Warhols' "Bohemian Like You". Did you know we once saw these guys play while Diana and I were on a date? I hope this is new info, or you've been stalking us. You can find this song on iTunes, Amazon Music, and Google Play.
For you visual learners, the video:
And for our lyrics hounds: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bohemian Like You"
You got a great car Yeah, what's wrong with it today? I used to have one too, Maybe I'll come and have a look. I really love your hairdo, yeah I'm glad you like mine too, See what looking pretty cool will get ya?
So, what do you do? Oh yeah, I wait tables too. No, I haven't heard your band, 'Cause you guys are pretty new. But if you dig on vegan food Well come over to my work I'll have them cook you Something that you'll really love.
'cause I like you yeah I like you and I'm feeling so bohemian like you Yeah I like you yeah I like you. And I feel whoa ho woo Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh
Wait Whose that guy Just hanging at your pad He's looking kinda bummed Yeah, you broke up, thats too bad. I guess it's fair if he always pays the rent And he doesn't get bent about sleeping on the couch when I'm there.
'Cause I like you yeah I like you And I'm feeling so bohemian like you Yeah I like you Yeah I like you And I feel whoa ho woo! Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh
I'm getting wise and I'm feeling so bohemian like you It's you that I want, so please Just a casual, casual easy thing Is it? it is for me
And I like you yeah I like you and I like you I like you I like you I like you I like you I like you I like you and I feel Whoa ho woo! Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh

So listen, watch, read, and come back for the discussion on Wednesday.
More from They're Playing Our Song
Special guest, Diana Parry-Cruwys, finally gets another chance to pick a song of her very own with this week's "To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) by alt-country, prolific rocker, Ryan Adams. Not the guy who sang "Summer of '69". We discuss how unlike My Bloody Valentine this song is, how hard it is to pick just one song when you write an album a year, how drugs are bad. Stay in school kids.
Even though she's been our special guest more than anyone else, poor Diana Parry-Cruwys has only gotten to pick one song all on her own. Well, we're making up for it by talking about Ryan Adams' "To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)" this week. Diana then fell asleep before we could record and I forgot to post the preview blurb...so we're going to be a little late this week. Please don't think this reflect poorly on how much I appreciate my wife's taste in music.
A return visit from Jack Every to the TPOS studio gets us bringing the funk. Noise may be brought as well. Regardless, we spend a pleasant time talking about the amazing Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' "I Learned the Hard Way". What makes this modern take on the Motown sound so cool? And does anybody know how to make a hang-up click on a cell phone? We're plumbing unknown genres this week, folks! Also, a rare TV recommendation unrelated to music but correlated with deliciousness.
Returning guest and math teacher extrordinaire, Jack Every, returns to ensure the unrepresented genre of Motown gets its due by talking with us about Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings "I Learned the Hard Way", a song I had never heard of before last week. Which is reason enough to listen in.
After comparing our local classic rock stations (RIP, radio), super-guest and music encyclopedia, Chris Hornbostel, and I get into the deep talk about The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter". Buy why is it an amazing song? Not just because it captures the turmoil of the 60's, not just because it's a secretly scary song, not just because of Keith Richards blusey, jazzy guitar, not just because of Mick Jagger's excellent lyrics, not just because of Merry Clayton's virtuouso performance, not just because of Charlie Watts' perfect snare beats, but...well, listen to the episode to find out. Let's celebrate the end of the peace and love era together, shall we?
