I didn’t really picture NYC when she sang about walking downtown.

I almost said I still listen to The Spirit Room but that's Michelle Branch. Sorry to these women that it's 85 years later and I'm still confusing them.

all of neil cicierega's mashups are so amazing but this is one of my faves for sure. simple concept, perfect execution, and really makes you realize how much brian johnson sounds like 80s cartoon cobra commander. doesn't get much better than this

Harmonium had some serious bops. White Houses, Who's to Say, Private Radio, even San Francisco is good for belting.
