"Song 2" by Monowhales

 

Woo-Hoo!

Toronto, Canada indie rockers Monowhales cover "Song 2," the 1997 release from London, UK artists Blur.

The song is played each time minor league baseball team Wilmington Blue Rocks score a run, as a giant celery stalk rushes the field and dances.

Despite having the best anthropomorphic vegetable mascot in the league, the Blue Rocks finished 2023 with a dismal 26-40 record. 

Scoring runs isn't easy.... but nothing i-is.......noooo.....

For another Blur cover, Wang Chung's version of "Girls and Boys" can be found here.

Soap operas are notorious for developing giggle-worthy story lines that range from outlandish to ridiculously outlandish.

Take long-running CBS daytime drama "Guiding Light," where a character named Reva Shayne was presumed dead for six years before it was discovered that she had amnesia and was living in an Amish commune.

God, that's asinine.

Anyway, here's London, UK dance pop band Wang Chung, who emerged from a seven-year hiatus (over twenty years between studio albums) to lay down their version of "Girls and Boys," the 1995 NME Award winning track from Britpop band Blur.

For a Blur cover, check out their version of Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" here.

 Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you.

It's late September, and I really should be back at school.

Well, it is late September, but British art pop band Blur's front man Damon Albarn hasn't been back at school since a brief stint at Goldsmiths College in the late '80s.

I wonder if he still has those dreams about not locating the proper classroom and being totally unprepared for final exams, decades after he's set foot in an institution of higher learning.

We'd have so much in common.

Like academic panic dreams, and wearing jeans and a white t-shirt whilst looking all sorts of cool.

Anyway, here's Blur's cover of Rod Stewart's 1971 hit single about his trip to Cougartown.

For another cover of Rod Stewart, here's one from Wilson Phillips.
