And then there was "Hot Chocolate" and a song that went something like this:
"Emily Emma Emily
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emily Emma Emily
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen"

Randy Newman - "Short People"

Funniest song of the decade, and that's saying a lot.

what about television you ignorant bastards

'Television - Marquee Moon' is such a must, especially for the strokes kids who haven't realized that television is THE inspiration behind their sound

And Focus, how dare you not mention them, 'In and out of Focus' is so timeless that if it were anymore timeless it would go all singularity and collapse spacetime or something

And 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' any discussion of the 70's without mentioning them is so woefully inadequate you all deserve to be exposed to nellys whining nasal screeching for crazyamounts of time or something, i mean brain salad surgery is the one of the creative peaks of mankind, along with the wheel, masturbation and yo-yos.

peace out
