Two for Tuesday

Driving around in an actual car this weekend, I listened to far more terrestrial radio than I have in maybe the past five years. Yeah, there's a lot of crap out there. But these two songs kept popping up, providing a good soundtrack for our fun in the sun...

I know this one is old and so maybe everyone already knows this, but I really enjoy how she not only uses the sample from "Tainted Love," but she also uses the lyric "You got me toss and turnin', I can't sleep at night," a non-obvious quote from the original song. I just think that is beautifully clever.

eh, www.amNY.com

Bonus! On my way to work this morning, I heard a really great sax/guitar duo performing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" in the subway.

This wasn't them. It's actual Dave Brubeck.
