Prince – Let’s Go Crazy

So, it would appear that Prince isn’t a big fan of letting his recorded material be used on youtube. So, we have Janelle for original bpm and Prince/3rdeyegirl live  for authenticity.

Inspired by my mad cat Erik who regularly goes crazy, gets nuts. And I find myself singing this to him, naturally. “Waiting for the purple bananas til they put us in the trucks.”

XTC – Sergeant Rock

I always loved XTC, with their jaggy new wave pop stylings. I hear them every so often on 6music, and fall in love all over again.  It’s good to share.

I’m sorry about Mr Weller with his top off. You don’t need to look, but have a listen.

 

Shoody doody doody do bop.
