Intermission Number 3

Sorry, just wanted to do another quick intermission post. And these are just totally random, just kind of doing it on the fly. (Believe it or not, the rest of this stuff has been pretty pre-meditated and, in a lot of cases, completely written out before hand.)

Top 5 TV Theme Songs:
5. Jeopardy! Try getting it out of your head now...
4. Love Boat. Come on, you love it and you know it.
3. Greatest American Hero. ("Believe it or not, I'm walking on air...")
2. Malcolm In the Middle. ("Boss Of Me" by They Might Be Giants) Can't have a list like this without They Might Be Giants being listed.
1. Wonder Years. All time favorite TV show. Too bad it'll never be on DVD. There's no way they could figure out how to pay for the rights to all the music they used in that show, which is the absolute only reason the series has never been released on DVD.

Top 5 Cover Songs Of All Time:
5. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails original)
Amazing amazing song.
4. "With a Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker (Beatles)
Did you really not see that coming after Wonder Years was my favorite theme song ever?
3. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Marilyn Manson (Eurythmics)
One of the few cover versions of a song that I like as much or more than the original. In this case, more.
2. "Always On My Mind" by Pet Shop Boys (Willie Nelson)
Not sure if Willie Nelson was actually the original singer, but I think so, so he gets credit. Even if he wasn't, his is still the most popular version.
1. "Bring It On Home To Me" by The Animals (Sam Cooke)
Sam Cooke's version is good, but the version done by The Animals is great. It's actually my favorite Animals song overall. Just a bad ass tune.

The video's cheesy as piss, but it's the actual album version instead of live, thus it got picked.


Top 5 Songs That I Forgot To Put In the List (in no particular order):

5. "Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash
Obvious Cash song, yes, but that's OK. It still rules.
4. "Beers Steers + Queers" by Revolting Cocks
Basically just a rant about red necks, to some throbbing techno music. Good angry song.
3. "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga
Yeah, I'm queer, I know. I love this song for some reason.
2. "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS
Yeah, I know, it's actually two songs. Pretty much the song and video that made INXS huge in the States.
1. "This Is the New Shit" by Marilyn Manson
Only reason it's not on the list is because I don't own a copy of it. Love this friggin song.



Top 10 Weird Al Yankovic Songs:
Yeah, 10. You heard me. Ha ha. Not getting into detail, just putting the videos. 3 parodies (#s 10 8 and 2), 7 originals. (4 parodies counting the honorable mention.)

Honorable mention:
"Whatever You Like" (Internet Leaks)
This is going to be on his next album, should be out this year some time.


10. "Yoda" (Dare To Be Stupid)
"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed, but remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed." One of my favorite lines from any song ever.


9. "The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota" (UHF)


8. "White and Nerdy" (Straight Outta Lynwood)
Donny Osmond rules in this video.


7. "Frank's 2000" TV" (Alapalooza)


6. "Your Horoscope For Today" (Running With Scissors)


5. "Albuquerque" (Running With Scissors)
Only video I could find with all 11 minutes and 20 seconds.


4. "You Don't Love Me Anymore" (Off the Deep End)
The original video is good, but that new VEVO thing YouTube is using to post original music videos decided that the first minute or so of the song was unnecessary. Nice.


3. "Everything You Know Is Wrong" (Bad Hair Day)


2. "Trapped In the Drive-Thru" (Straight Outta Lynnwood)


1. "One More Minute" (Dare To Be Stupid)


Yes, I was just joking about the first three TV theme songs. The last two, however, really are my favorite theme songs ever.

And there you have it. No more intermissions, no more screwing around. From here on out, it will only be posts of the last 25 songs. Next 5 coming soon.
