My old friend Adrian messaged me on the book of faces to recommend a tune, "I heard this nostalgic indie track which namechecks M&M, the trouble is it's hard to find out anything about the band because the name just brings up people's favourite bands."
Yes, calling your band My Favorite is probably not recommended in the internet age, but it turns out (with a little help from discogs) that these guys originated in 1993 - so before the downfall of civilization.
My Favorite were from Long Island, New York, and I'm posting this here because I think it will appeal to certain readers (mainly Martin and JC, possibly Jim in Dubai). Definitely worth further investigation...

She gets thrown in with the deal.
She knows just how it feels when God hates you and mothers run away.
She says, "I'm gonna kill someone."
Alone at school she sits and dreams of Johnny Marr and Morrissey.
But tonight she'll wear his working class jacket over her prom dress
And dance as the pop song sings,
"It's a crazy world, and you're a messed up kid, "
And that's why you're my favorite, and I believe in you.
