It's funny, Walking in Memphis is one of those songs I have always loved, am always grateful when it comes on the radio in the supermarket, but that I never owned. I don't know any of his other songs. What is that? I love you but I'm not gonna commit? I just love to meet you in (bright) alleys?

Who are the anti-Marc Cohn people anyway, and why do they begrudge us this tiny bit of pleasure while we shop? Damn them!

Was the car a silver Thunderbird? oof.

Shut Up and Dance to thread. (Because Marc begrudged them and us tiny bits of pleasure in return.)

I never minded when Top 40 radio played "Walking In Memphis" 18,000 times an hour.

shut up and dance = the polar opposite of pleasure.

shut up and dance = an abcess under your tooth, a swollen ear canal and an ingrown hair follicle in your armpit all at the same time.

Shut Up And Dance used to be Thom Yorke's favourite band!

"Dig Down Deep" was also a pretty good song, in which he kind of rocked an acoustic guitar rather than being a pianistic one-trick pony.

Thus proving Yorke's utter, utter knobitude. Marissa would never rep shut up and dance now would she.

(sorry)

My freshman year of college I was in a seminar in which we had to compose essays on "Walking In Memphis" and "Silver Thunderbird." I think I still have them on this computer.

Cher's cover of "Walking in Memphis" is better than Cohn's original. Seriously.

Glad Marc's having a quick recovery.

Good lord, PB. Post them please.

SUAD are grand, much as I love me the Pash, and so must disagree with him.

Cohn was for some years a regular whipping boy on MST3K, which I had no problem with.

TROXARTIS: "I, ah, NEVER understood..."
SERVO: "...Marc COHN."

"Raving I'm Raving" pretty much negates any usefulness "Walking in Memphis" might've had. Except that the former isn't getting that fucking magic piano line on any AC stations in the US, I guess.

Dammit, I got this laptop my senior year. But, I still have the hardrive and maybe the hard copies of those essays. I will look....

"Raving I'm Raving"

Goddamn, I'd forgotten about this. I have a seething hatred of you until I can forget about it again.

but it's so good...

I worked with him and his producer on some stuff. Marc's a very nice guy and I wish him well. Never did have the balls to bring up the SUAD situation with him, though.

I'm sorry that he got shot and everything, but I still hate that fucking song.

"Walking in Memphis" makes "Black Velvet" sound like something by Robert Johnson, that's how bad it is.
