that menomena song isn't too bad.

i believe it's a David Bowie cover

JUNIOR BOYS ARE AMAZING!!!! that album is great..."in the morning" is the worst in my opinion. haha

imarob2 - 8-23-2010 at 09:41 AM

keep coming back to this.

beedun - 9-26-2010 at 05:35 PM

haha, glad I got someone hooked! I've got about a dozen of their tracks now that I really enjoy. The Nightflight to Venus album is pretty good. That dude is a dancing machine! Also this group was put together by a record company - same guy that did Milli Vanilli!!

Rest In Peace Mr. Boney M...

It used to be Don't Want to Hurt You by The Sounds, bit then I really got into them.

But like I said, originally a one hit wonder to me because the previously mentioned song was on a Geico commercial...Yeah, one hit wonders just seem to pop up on car insurance commercials in my eyes
