It was cool to me, to think that another quirky duo worked with Sparks, so naturally I was curious about this - and for some reason, played the hell out of it all year long (but I also enjoy Les Rita Mitsouko all on their own).

[49]
Les Rita Mitsouko (feat. Sparks) - "Singing in the Shower"

Spoiler for still convinced that everyone in this video was on cocaine.:

In the spring of '09, I felt the need to acquire this single on 12" vinyl. To this day I still don't understand why.

[48]
Musical Youth - "Pass the Dutchie"

Spoiler for If someone passed me a dutchie on the left hand side, I'd surely drop it:

My sister and I used to drive around town and sing this in the car at the top of our lungs. She still sends me random things with moustaches on them.

[47]
Sparks - "Moustache"

Spoiler for but when I trimmed it real small, my Jewish friends would never call!:

This next one was a pretty weird obsession for me, maybe because I liked singing it to myself in the car sometimes. I really don't remember how it came to me or why I loved it, but I did. And it's totally adorable.

[46]
Linda Scott - "I've Told Every Little Star"

Spoiler for I've told every little star just how sweet I think you are.:

This was one of my favorite cruising songs that summer.

[45]
The Beatles - "Please Mr. Postman"

Spoiler for Check it and see, one more time for me.:

This next song I'd liked a little in '07, but the subject matter didn't really appeal to me until later on. It's a well-written song by two of my most favorite humans.

[44]
Simon & Garfunkel - "Richard Cory"

Spoiler for he had everything a man could want: power, grace and style.:

At the height of the Rick Roll craze, I actually enjoyed the song (and my sister bought me a poster of Rick Astley for my birthday this year). We used to burst into each other's bedrooms and just start singing it for no reason.

[43]
Rick Astley - "Never Gonna Give You Up"

Spoiler for GOTTA MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND:

This next group is just great. I love them. I love the California garage-rock sound, and I love the squealing vocals on this track. It's just... perfect.

[42]
The Seeds - "Can't Seem to Make You Mine"

Spoiler for RIP Sky Saxon. Love you, man.:

I used to listen to this next track quite often before going into work. I absolutely hated my job, the people I worked with, and my staff, but I couldn't do without the job I had in the small town I used to live in. It's still a great track on its own. Plus, Danny Elfman is hilarious.

[41]
Oingo Boingo - "Dead Man's Party"

Spoiler for Leave your body and soul at the door.:

And this one, too. (Steely Dan would eventually become one of my most loved groups.) One line in particular always stood out to me, because I knew that my store was in decline, my staff was screwed, and things were only going to get worse.

Like a castle in his corner, in a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble, and I stay here just the same

[40]
Steely Dan - "Dirty Work"

Spoiler for Light the candle, put the lock upon the door.:

Coming up next: Really great/weird stuff.
