TubThumping

For a brief ... very, very brief time, Chumbawumba was the shiznit. We all though that TubThumping was a drinking song for the ages. How very, very wrong we were. They release a second album that they encouraged their fans to not purchase, but instead to steal. Which not only came off as pretentious, but also turned out to be a poor business model.

Thanks to the Onion's A.V. club, and They Might Be Giants, all the magic has been shoved back into the song. It almost makes me remember why America fell in love with the song in the first place ... almost.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) [Deep Cover]

A Deep Cover is a cover song so well known, most people don't know it's a cover. Such is the case for this This Might Be Giants classic. Originally done by the Four Lads, Istanbul (Not Constantinople) has become popular enough to get it's own segement in a Tiny Toons Adventure. If that's not big time, I don't know what is.

If you're not familiar with the Four Lads, not worries. I have no idea who they are either, other than Candian Music Hall Of Famers, eh?
