Rita B. Bird discovered quickly how the Lemonheads got their name.
So my friend Emily (she is from Niagara Falls so you don’t know her) was trying to explain the movie Taken to me and all I got out of it was her use of the term “muscular poundage”. That story has nothing to do with this week’s song but I am still giggling about it so while you listen to The Lemonheads cover of Mrs. Robinson you can try to figure out what part of the movie she was talking about (I have no idea).
I was talking to Eva Halloween about The Lemonheads and she said this was her least favorite of their songs. I didn’t even know they had other songs. Now that I think about it, there aren’t a lot of bands I listen to lots of songs from. And none of them are from the 90s I don’t think. What bands from the 90s still even exist? Is Pearl Jam a band? Are The Lemonheads?
I am asking all these questions, btw, because I took a back pill and am sort of…brain-wandery so I can’t be as riveting as I usually am. So rather than use my current state to trick me into confessing some crimes or take off my pants or something mean like that, why don’t you answer my questions?
- What bands from the 90s still exist?
- What part of the movie Taken involves “muscular poundage”?
- Did I confess any crimes earlier? Damn these pills!
I LOVED this album. So effing much. You have no idea, I totally wore out at least one cassette copy – I think it might have been two, though.
Heh, this should answer your first question.
I didn’t even know it was on an album. Also I added you to my links over there because you are awesome.
The name of the album was It’s a Shame About Ray and I THINK it was their fifth album?
And AWWWW! I’ve totally been meaning to update my Blog Roll, and you were one I wanted to add. I’ve just been a super procrastinator lately.
Never was a fan of the Lemonheads version of “Mrs. Robinson.” Could be because I was S&G’s biggest fan and nobody else was good enough to do a cover (or date my daughter. 😉
Where have you been!
Once you see Taken you will understand that the better question to ask is what part of the movie is NOT about muscular poundage?
Well now that Taken 2 is out I have to assume that the end of “Taken” was “Returned.”
Is Pearl Jam a band? Is Pearl Jam a band? You were alive during the 90’s, yes?
