...<em>Shoot Out the Lights is a Richard Thompson song.</em><br /><br />I guess I got confused because people in the YouTube comments kept talking about covers of the song and it made it sound as if his version were a cover too.

Oh wait...I spoke too soon. Yes, there it is. Yeah...no. That's not great. <br /><br />Well, anyway, I like the song.

I can see why a listener would get impatient with it. Nation of Ulysses were not especially melodious, but check out these lyrics:<br /><br /><i>I'm not talking about a Beatle's song<br />Written 100 years before I was born<br />They're all talking about the round and round<br />But who's got the real anti-parent culture sound?</i><br /><br />Probably the most successful piece of art on the list discounting Mr. von Karajan covering that Beethoven dude is Shoot Out the Lights.Substance McGravitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118764163822188800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-39003499145688101492011-09-22T14:49:03.114-07:002011-09-22T14:49:03.114-07:00An interesting melange of musical selections, old ...<em>An interesting melange of musical selections, old chum!</em><br /><br />Isn't it, though? *admires*<br /><br />Substance, do you think I would like any of the songs I don't know?
