Show Notes
It's Part 2 of the epic Etheridge-Off. Diana Parry-Cruwys and I can't come to a consensus as to which Melissa Etheridge song is the superior "I'm kind of stalking you" anthem. Last week we went over Diana's choice, "Come To My Window" so this week, it's my choice with "I Want To Come Over".
You can get "I Want To Come Over" on iTunes, Amazon Music, or Google Play.
There's a cool video starring Gwyneth Paltrow on YouTube for your viewing pleasure as well.
And, of course, the lyrics: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I Want To Come Over" I know you're home You left your light on You know I'm here The night is thin I know you're alone I watched the car leave Your lover is gone Let me in Open your back door I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over To hell with the consequence You told me you loved me That's all I believe I want to come over It's a need I can't explain To see you again I want to come over
I know your friend You told her about me She filled you with fear Some kind of sin How can you turn Denying the fire Lover I burn Let me in Open your back door I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over To hell with the consequence You told me you loved me That's all I believe I want to come over It's a need I can't explain To see you again I want to come over
I know you're confused I know that you're shaken You think we'll be lost Once we begin I know you're weak I know that you want me Lover don't speak Let me in
I want to come over To hell with the consequence You told me you loved me That's all I believe I want to come over It's a need I can't explain To see you again I want to come over

So listen, watch, read, and join us on Wednesday for the continuation of this knock-down, drag-out battle!
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?
