Zager and Evans--2525.  I had no idea this was a real song.  I thought Futurama made it up.  Neat.

WTF

The whole album "Awaking the Centuries" has a Nostradamus theme and is recommended. (As are the other early albums - Thou Shalt Trust the Seer and the Galileo Galilei themed Eppur Si Move. Tales of Ithiria is crap IMHO.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

What's with all the Euro WTFs?  I'm supposed to be familiar with a song from twenty years before I was born, that is also (considering I'd never heard it before on the radio till it came on the oldies station in Columbia) rather obscure.  WTF?  FU.

How the hell did you manage to not hear it? It must have taken a lot of effort to avoid it.

Fun--Some Nights.  Surprised that it turns out that the authors of catchy ultra-shit "We Are Young" actually had something to offer the world besides a ready-made advertising jingle.

It was a staple on the oldies station I listened to back in high school.

I'd heard of this, and I do my best to avoid american cultural output.

It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Heard on the Satellite Radio yesterday:

Elastica: Connection

I always wished that band had oriduced more than one album...
Nice little gem that one.

"We Are Young"

Heartache to heartache?

Or earache when listening to Fun.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I'd actually heard their non-"We Are Young" oeuvre wasn't as pandering, lame and tonally garbage as that song.  I dunno, there may be some truth to it.
