The recruiting song

Another song that just warms my heart as I contemplate basketball recruiting

Finally we can agree on a great song

Real nostalgia. I was 8 when my mom brought home Thriller on vinyl. My record player wore that album out. Probably had to change the needle two or three times.

I know how much @BDragon loves the Beatles, but even The Girl Is Mine, featuring Paul, was fire in 1983.

Great song and makes no sense. Right up your alley

This sculpture is in Volunteer Park in Seattle, about a 20 minute walk from my house. It’s called Black Sun, and as you can see, it has a hole in the middle of it. That’s my old now-departed pooch sitting patiently while I got the Space Needle in the shot, too. Song still doesn’t really make sense, but maybe it makes a little more sense now.

My daughter thinks it’s my favorite song :joy: (I mean, duh, my actual favorite song is ā€œFirst Time in Foreverā€)

I’m partial to Love is an open door. But that’s just me

I’m sure I saw an interview that a member of Soundgarden admitted that the lyrics were nonsensical and really just trying to achieve a vibe.

I mean if we are going down the Frozen rabbit hole… the worst song is that dumb one the trolls sing… I feel like it was a throwaway song that got added because of a contractual number of songs needed. I won’t even entertain a debate on this. :troll:

Agree that is my least favorite song and the entire C level storyline is bad.

It’s funny because I really became a fan of the song when I was going through a real rough dark stretch and i thought the lyrics were so deep and profound

Looking back through clear eyes I realized ā€œyea this is nonsensicalā€ but they nailed the vine so well it didn’t matter.

I remember an interview with Peter Gabriel asking him why he called his album ā€œSoā€. He said something to the effect that he liked the shape of the word. :man_shrugging:

Add It Up (the UVA Version)

Day after day
I refresh LRA
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start

Why can’t we get just one big
Why can’t we get just one big
Maybe we’re just in the hole we dig
But I look at the boards and, we need a big

Why can’t we get just one guard?
Why can’t we get just one guard?
Perry was committed why is this so hard
But something’s keeping him from playing that card

Why can’t we get one commit?
Why can’t we get one commit?
I guess the offense has to do with it
But I waited all spring for just one

Day after day
I refresh LRA
But the day is in my sight
Maybe I’ll go to the sabre and fight

Don’t shoot shoot shoot that open 3
Don’t shoot shoot shoot that open 3
The perfect shot is yet to be
And the shot clock isn’t under 3

So was scrolling through IG and saw this pic on an old classic hip hop page that randomly popped up. Tribe Called Quest who I linked a few days ago.
