Austin’s 93.7 KLBJ FM’s morning show, Dudley and Bob, used to play this drop-in all the time and drove it into my f’n skull. Sorry girlie, but I can’t help but chant this in my brain everytime I see the words, “I hate this place”.

Michael Jackson Running Through “Smooth Criminal” Night Before His Death
Not a big MJ guy — never was — but after listening to the nostalgia orgies of the past twenty-four hours, I’m reminded that art can matter. That the stuff of great artists — their songs, their paintings, their books — becomes a part of our lives, and that whether you’re talking about the first time you saw the “Thriller” video or the first time you tried to moonwalk, you’re not really talking about Michael Jackson. You’re talking about yourself. The art is just a marker, allowing each of us to find our way back to some earlier, happier, more carefree version of ourselves.
— Richard Dorment (Art Critic for Daily Telegraph)

Taken from Walker’s 2006 album, The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let’s-Go-Out-Tonites. From the opening Flo & Eddie-like harmonies, the song immediately plays homage (or rips off, if you prefer) to several cuts from the catalogue of T. Rex. The album itself is hit and miss but still enjoyable although it loses it’s seventies UK pop-glam rock quality halfway through.
