The Song Stuck In My Head: “THE NEW POLLUTION” By BECK (1996)

“She’s Got A Cigarette On Each Arm.

She’s Got The Lily-White Cavity Crazes.

She’s Got A Carborator Tied To The Moon.

Pink Gods Looking To The Fruit Of The Ages. …“

… … …

“…She’s Alone In The New Pollution.

She’s Alone In The New Pollution. …“

… … …

… … …

“…She’s Got A Hand On A Wheel Of Pain.

She Can Talk To The Mangling Strangers.

She Can Sleep In A Fiery Barn.

Throwing Troubles To The Dying Embers. …“

… … …

“…She’s Alone In The New Pollution.

She’s Alone In The New Pollution. …“

… … …

SO…

…On My Way Home Tonight…

…I Had My Tunes A Kickin’.

The Top Was Down On The Mustang.

The Cool Breeze Was Blowin’ Through My Hair.

The Sun Was Shining Bright.

And THEN This Jam…

“THE NEW POLLUTION“

By

BECK

…Off His 1996 Masterwork…

“ODELAY“

…Began To Play.

And…

…Of Course…

…The Volume Mysteriously Began To Creep Up…

…And Up…

…And UP UP UP.

(* hehehe 😀 *)

Before Long…

…I’d Lost Myself In The Moment…

…And Found Myself Singing Along.

You Know How It Is.

You’ve Been In The Car Before When A Favorite Jam Begins To Thump.

Of Course…

…I Think I Was (LIKELY) The Only Person In The Geographic-Location To Be Belting Out BECK On A Wednesday Afternoon.

But I’m Already Very Used To The Odd-Stares I’m Graced With In Those Moments.

Thing Is…

…I’ve Been Humming AND Singing This Damned Song SINCE!

“THE NEW POLLUTION“

…Has Mysterious Powers, My Peeps.

Once You Hear It…

…Yeah…

…It Becomes Nearly IMPOSSIBLE To Get It Out Of Your Brain For The Next 5 or 6 MONTHS!

Or…

…At Least…

…So It Seems.

Can You Dig My Jive Here, My Peeps?!?

I’m Bankin’ You CAN!!!

😉

Hope Everyone Had A Grand Day…

…And Has A Wonderful Evening.

L8r On, Kiddies!
