I put this song in the same "strange but awesome song" category I was talking about last week. I love the lyrics to this, like:
Tell all the sweet smiling children
about that one great pink candy love,
that's waiting somewhere in the dark
to change our lives and make us all worthwhile
but we already are, we just don't know it
Wow a song about consumerism! I love the snipets from the old commercials from that era.

And here's another "weird" kinda song I also found on the Rewind album. It's called "Rosecrans Boulevard":

ReplyDeleteYou tell all the sweet smiling children about that one great pink candy love
DeleteThat's waiting somewhere in the dark to change our lives and make us all worthwhile
But we already are, you just don't know it
You tell all the sweet smiling children that you need your fine hairsprays and combs
Lipsticks, perfumes, fine cars and homes so that when we find that love it will be true
But is already is, we just don’t know it
Yeah then you watch all those sweet smiling children stumble in the darkness you have made
Looking for the dream that’s never quite there and cry cause we can’t win the games we play
Ah but you sell a lot of hairspray that way, don’t you
