So I have a new comic out.
You can read all about it here.
To celebrate: an appropriate Top Ten...
10. Tim Buckley - Ain't It Peculiar
Who knew Tim Buckley could be this funky?
9. Vinny Peculiar - Uniform
Couldn't find a whole lot of Vinny Peculiar on youtube, but I liked this Robert-Palmer-meets-Porridge video.
8. Willie Nelson & Emmylou Harris - My Own Peculiar Way
Because you can never have enough Willie.
(Oh, give me a break! I only did that gag to keep Steve happy!)
7. Hüsker Dü - It's Not Peculiar
The Hold Steady weren't just influenced by Bruce.
6. Man Like Me - Peculiar
These guys listened to way too much Talking Heads while in the womb. Still, nothing wrong with that.
5. Cousteau - Peculiarly You
The way you arch your back and comb your hair
The way you only come when no-one else is there
The way you look like you might know a secret
There's not a lot I can do, it's peculiarly you
Top youtube comment for this song: "This song is like seeing a beautiful woman in a way". So that's what Swiss Toni's doing these days.
4. Marvin Gaye - Ain't That Peculiar
Scrumptious. See also the Japan version, which you may prefer... if you're CLINICALLY INSANE. (No offense. There's nothing wrong with the Japan version. As an 80s artifact. But c'mon - it's hardly Marvin Gaye.)
3. Frank Sinatra - Life Is So Peculiar
About time we had a burst of Frank philosophy round here...
When I get up each morning, there's nothing to breathe but air
And when I look in the mirror, there's nothing to comb but hair
And when I sit down to breakfast, there’s nothing to eat but food
Life is so peculiar but you can't stay home and brood
2. Simon & Garfunkel - A Most Peculiar Man
As a lonely, confused and frightened twenty-something, I sometimes wondered if this was how I'd end up...
1. Mull Historical Society - Peculiar
If Department of the Peculiar had a theme song, this would be it.
Don’t make them laugh, or they will LAUGH at you…
Don’t piss them off, or they will piss on you…
Don’t make them crack !!
Or they will crack…you.... in 2 2 2 2……
So, those were the most peculiar songs I could find. Do you have a favourite peculiarity?
