So after an exceedingly long absence, I thought I might add a new thread (especially since the old one's over 150 posts long).
Valerie, by Panic At The Disco (originally by The Zutons, if anyone's interested).

Thanks. I'm admittedly a Supernatural fangirl (but you know, the sane kind).

Valerie, by Beausoleil. Not the original, written by Richard Thompson.
Sorry, DG - I couldn't resist!

No worries Kwicko--but we're actually talking about two different songs.

Oh, I know, DeepGirl - that's what I found so cool about it! We're both thinking of cover versions of songs written originally by other artists - but we're also thinking of completely different songs of the same name! Call it kismet. Or synchronicity. Or coincidence. :)
Whatever you call it, I still love your music threads!

Together We Will Live Forever - Clint Mansell (from The Fountain soundtrack)
have to listen to instrumental stuff while writing, (or I get distracted and sing along!) and this is one of my all time favourites.

"Evidently Chickentown", by John Cooper Clarke.
Beat/Punk Poet set to drum beats. Awesome angry energy.
Quote:
the fucking cops are fucking keen
to fucking keep it fucking clean
the fucking chief's a fucking swine
who fucking draws a fucking line
at fucking fun and fucking games
the fucking kids he fucking blames
are nowhere to be fucking found
anywhere in chicken town
the fucking scene is fucking sad
the fucking news is fucking bad
the fucking weed is fucking turf
the fucking speed is fucking surf
the fucking folks are fucking daft
don't fucking make me fucking laugh
it fucking hurts to look around
everywhere in chicken town
the fucking train is fucking late
you fucking wait you fucking wait
you're fucking lost and fucking found
stuck in fucking chicken town
the fucking view is fucking vile
for fucking miles and fucking miles
the fucking babies fucking cry
the fucking flowers fucking die
the fucking food is fucking muck
the fucking drains are fucking fucked
the colour scheme is fucking brown
everywhere in chicken town
the fucking pubs are fucking dull
the fucking clubs are fucking full
of fucking girls and fucking guys
with fucking murder in their eyes
a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed
waiting for a fucking cab
you fucking stay at fucking home
the fucking neighbors fucking moan
keep the fucking racket down
this is fucking chicken town
the fucking train is fucking late
you fucking wait you fucking wait
you're fucking lost and fucking found
stuck in fucking chicken town
the fucking pies are fucking old
the fucking chips are fucking cold
the fucking beer is fucking flat
the fucking flats have fucking rats
the fucking clocks are fucking wrong
the fucking days are fucking long
it fucking gets you fucking down
evidently chicken town
Most recorded versions of the song have him using the word "bloody" instead of "fucking", but he wrote it "fucking", and said it's a more percussive, flowing, rhythmic word that works better.
