Show Notes
After a fun family vacation, I drag my family in to celebrate our big 50th episode with Grouplove's "Tongue Tied"! How we got this many episodes I'll never know.
You can buy this song on Amazon Music and Google Play (where it's only 69 cents!!!). Here's the album link on iTunes...can't find a direct link for some reason. Maybe it's too awesome to be sold individually.
There's a pretty neat music video too:
And, of course, the lyrics: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tongue Tied"
Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout Oh yeah Take me to your best friend's house I loved you then and I love you now Oh yeah
Don't take me tongue tied Don't wave no goodbye Don't... Right!
Take me to your best friend's house Marmalade we're making out Oh yeah Take me to your best friend's house I loved you then and I love you now
Don't take me tongue tied Don't wave no goodbye Don't... Right!
One, two, three, four Don't leave me tongue tied Let's stay up all night I'll get real high Slumber party; pillow fight My eyes on your eyes Like Peter Pan up in the sky My best friend's house tonight Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye
Don't take me tongue tied Don't wave no goodbye Don't take me tongue tied Don't kiss me goodnight Don't...
Take me to your best friend's house Go around this roundabout Oh yeah Take me to your best friend's house I loved you then and I love you now
[2x] Don't leave me tongue tied Don't wave no goodbye Don't leave me tongue tied Don't... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, listen, watch, and join us on Wednesday for the big, celebratory episode!
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?
