It's a nice way to die she's so easy on the eye"

Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand"

"I've got statistics that'll make you plead
I'll put my thesis right in your hand"

"Fully Qualified to Be Your Man", Richard Thompson.

"Second Verse, Same as the First"

...Henry the Eighth? Um, Herman and the Hermits?

[dxmachina]

Yes and yes.

[debg]

FUCKETY. I know the name of the last song - "Sometimes I Remember". But I can't for the life of me remember who does it. The something Brothers. Pernell?

[dxmachina]

Close enough. The Pernice Brothers.

[debg]

Man, that would have driven me bonkers. Thanks.

And I adore your Schroeder icon. I may have to find the 'toon of the actual drawing I gave N all those years ago...

[dxmachina]

I made the icon, so I probably have a jpg of the whole cartoon either here or (more likely) at work.

Speaking of N, I'm pretty sure he played on one of these tracks.

[debg]

Wait a minute. Is #2 the Beatles? I Want to Tell You?

[dxmachina]

Yup.

[debg]

Weird. The lyrics sat there behind one eyebrow for about five minutes, and then I realised I was humming it.

Music and my brain make odd bedfellows.

[dxmachina]

I had the same feeling going down your list and realizing how much stuff I should've known.
