I'm back, as promised. And sober this time, though my drunk posts seem to have an eloquence that my sober posts lack! Maybe I should always drink before posting?
Anyway, this post has a point! and a song! and a story!
So about a week ago I was driving with two of my very best friends. My ipod was plugged in and ready to go, and I suggested that my friend Laura pick something to listen to. I love my real life friends, but I gotta admit that they aren't as musically educated as my mog friends. So laura basically spun the wheel and hit play. She happened to land on an album I had only listened to once previously and couldn't even remember when or why I downloaded it!
The album is fun, eclectic and completely hilarious (the way most things are when us girls are together). Much of it reminded us of French circus music somehow (even though none of us have been to a French circus).
We were thoroughly enjoying the album when the title track came on, and we completely lost it. (play it now, if you haven't already!) Maybe you had to be there, but we thought it was the funniest thing ever. Instantly, a new anthem is born!
now to the point: When I got home, I had to figure out who introduced me to this wonderfull band of Norwegian ladies. I knew it must have been a mogger, and sure enough, I tracked it down to this post by deadmandeadman (check out the song he posted to see what I mean about Katzenjammer's eclectic sound)! Many many thanks to Deadmandeadman for introducing me to a new favorite song that I never would have heard otherwise!
Just for fun, here are the lyrics:
Feelin' like a lollipop forgot in Pyongyang
Dancin' to the voodoo beat boom bam bam
Baby doll, remote control
Caravan love is all you know
Kickin' at the motherfuckers one by one
You sell tickets to a funeral
'Cause you need tickets to The Cramps
A rock'n'roll band, a little whiskey,
a candy apple
All you know you're dancing
till you drop
when you're listening to Le Pop
Pick me up and drive me home
Crank crank crank crank
crank up the volume
Pull up the tights
to your wuthering heights
No means no, no means no
You sell tickets to a funeral
'Cause you need tickets to Katzenjammer

is there anything the deadman doesnt know?
I doubt it. He is officially my hero!
awesome story and wonderful song! i love when worlds collide like this.
any song with wuthering heights in the lyric is ok by me. Great stroy
You are too kind. But this MOG is a wonderful place & posts like this illustrate why. Being turned on to new music rocks. Turning someone on to new music rocks too! To receive such a nice shout-out, priceless. & for what its worth,...I haven't heard a bad Katzenjammer track yet.
wow, here's a really delayed response!
Thanks again, deadman. keep up the great mogging :)
Also, I realized that I actually have been to a French circus! sort of, haha. actually they were French Canadian, and it was a kind of stage show circus. see below:
