Don't thank me. Thank the little boy cat.
Notes: This mix aims to capture Shawn's exuberance, sense of humor, crazy "psychic" episodes, and passion for 80s pop culture. Hopefully, the lyrics I've chosen illustrate at least one of these points. The only one that needs further explanation I think is "Devil's Haircut" which reminds me of the nonsense he says when having one of his "visions."
01 - Pineapple Rag - Scott Joplin
Instrumental
02 - Philosophy - Ben Folds
Won't you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
I'm crazy but I get the job done
I say go ahead and laugh all you want
But I got my philosophy
03 - Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads
You get on board anytime you like
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart, it's scientific
Sleepin on the interstate
Oh oh, getting wild wild life
04 - Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Ah we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
05 - Curbside Prophet - Jason Mraz
Cuz I’m one man
Pushin’ on the California skyline drive
Up the coast I brag and I boast
Because I’m pickin up my pace
And making time like space ghost
06 - Humour of the Situation - Barenaked Ladies
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
07 - The Great Communicator - Ted Leo
And it’s the sonics, not the phonics
And it’s all in the delivery………..
I keep my ear to the street
And I keep on reading lips and looks
As I’m looking for that perfect beat
08 - Santeria - Sublime
I don't practice Santeria,
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well I had a million dollars
But I'd, I'd spent it all
09 - Devil’s Haircut - Beck
Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitchin' a ride with the bleedin' noses
Comin' to town with the briefcase blues
10 - Take on Me - A-Ha
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
11 - I Know You Know (Psych Theme) - The Friendly Indians
I know, you know
That I'm not telling the truth,
I know, you know
They just don't have any proof
Z I P
