This is totally unrelated but just wondering, is there an “Australia effect” on ILM?

I forgot Barnes & Barnes - Fish Heads. One of my absolute favorite novelty songs of all time.
Also the music video is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn73Wtem0No

Here's a Spotify playlist of what's been mentioned so far. Think I got most of them; they're not entirely in order because I had to fix a bunch of shit Spotlistr missed, so if you're looking for gaps in your list, they're probably toward the bottom.

I think “to live is to fly” beats “poncho” but the latter has the willie connection

Risking Deflatormouse flagging me again but was thinking on starting either a 00s or 60s thread a few weeks from now but I’m on a shortlist of 100+ songs for each decade and I don’t think I can do it. I guess this is the last one.

I started working on a 00s one as soon as I was finished with the 90s. It's a fun mental exercise and I would gladly take part.

I was sure "Gold" also featured Lindsey Buckingham (who contributed to the album it was on) - that guitar solo sure sounds like him - but no that's Stewart himself playing. Turns out, they both played each other's records when learning to play guitar.

Making a list that is full of songs on classic rock radio is a waste of everyone’s time

okay then contribute more than a list of aerosmith

Also something from Sun Ra’s sleeping beauty. ‘Springtime Again’ or ‘Door of the Cosmos’… this is such a good decade.
