Good artists, but I'm not familiar with these songs. Will be listening to "Magic Dance" and "My Clone Sleeps Alone."

Have you taken a stroll through the back catalogue of my blog? That's where all the best stuff is.
Anyway, installment #5!
This chapter opens with a song that I loved during high school, and later discovered that it was also a great driving tune. It's really groovy - a must-hear for fans of the California garage-rock sound.

The Strangeloves - "I Want Candy"
Though I love Sparks, always and endlessly, this song will always leave a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth. It was my song of choice when I introduced someone (who was close to me at the time) to the wonderful world of Sparks. It will always remind me of chilling in the backseat, windows down, parked under damp trees behind a charming old house. It was a lovely scene which turned quite ghastly in my psyche.

Sparks - "Noisy Boys"
Another hilarious track from the brilliant mind of Weird Al;
if you're having a bad day, please listen to this. It's for your own good.
[57]
Weird Al Yankovic - "Like a Surgeon"
Got your kidneys on my mind.
This next one spent a few months as my ringtone. My love for the Darkness grew for some time after. The lyrics are essentially stupid as hell, but my glam-loving self is nearly obliged to love it.

The Darkness - "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"
This next song reminds me of a plethora of stupid men, so it makes me a little sick to my stomach, but it's pretty fun to sing when you're drunk, so if I've got any drunkards reading tonight, sing it. Don't pretend you don't know the lyrics.

Billy Joel - "The Longest Time"
This next one, well. I couldn't explain the attraction in this point in time, but I do know that I love the disco groove in it.
[54]
The Rolling Stones - "Miss You"
I think this next one was a hit with me because I was so messed up all the time, and it was just the speed I needed to groove on. Love Donovan, love this chill sound.
[53]
Donovan - "Get Thy Bearings"
This next one is sort of a kitschy number but accurately reflects my feelings about Vietnam: if you knew anything about anything, you got the f
uck out of the death lottery.
[52]
Phil Ochs - "Draft Dodger Rag"
This next song literally sums up the entire year of 2009 for me.
[51]
Jon Lajoie - "High as Fuck"
I don't remember what got me turned on to this song, apart from the fact that I already knew and loved a few tracks by these guys, but here it is, and it's cool.

The Coasters - "Down in Mexico"
