I was going to say "Dirty Work" from Steely Dan. But then I watched this.

"Please Don't Judas Me" - Nazareth (also Love Hurts)
"Ebony Eyes" - Bob Welsh
"Dog Eat Dog" - Adam and the Ants
"The Bulrushes" - The Bongos
"Russian Roulette" - Lords of the New Church
"There You Are" - Goo Goo Dolls (bracing for ridicule)
"How Long" - Ace
"Jet Silver and the Dolls of Venus" - Be Bop Deluxe
"It's About Time" - The Reivers
"Resurrection Joe" - The Cult
"Hot Seat" - Empire
"Miracles" - Jefferson Starship
"Do You Believe in Westworld?" - Theater of Hate
"Everyone's a Bigot" - The Offs
"Smack My Bitch Up: " - Prodigy
"The Prisoner" - Sons of Freedom
"Days" - Television
"Sleepin' With the TV On" = The Dictators
"It's a Shame About Ray" - The Lemonheads

This is my "only one song in the folder" ITunes List

I don't think I've ever heard that. I just know the terrible, terrible hit of theirs. Gaah.

Godawful? You got some 'splainin' to do.

"Centerfold" is a brilliant song, and I hope to cover it someday, if I can sucker other people into playing it along with me.

Having lived in Detroit, this band was ruined for me. I intellectually understand the goodness of "Centerfold" and "Freeze Frame" but am unable to listen to it lest Handsome Dick Manitoba/Rob Tyner style white man afros and drunk frat boy assholes screaming "Wamma Jamma" Detroit WRIF memories start flooding back. So, respectively, fuck that.

J Giles resides in my "bands like the Cars who write good pop but cannot be listened to by me" file.

It's the only time they've written anything in the league of The Replacements...and I'm not a big fan of The Replacements.

Tom Verlane's voice sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I've always dug the musicianship and guitar interplay but dude's voice is just godawful.

Fair enough. His voice is polarizing, though I think he did the best he ever did with it on his solo Flash Light. Ever heard the version of "Little Johnny Jewel" on the Blow-Up live set?

The Lemonheads had many, many moments of awfulness, but this song is pretty good. Even better is "The Great Big No."

stop breathin' by pavement

yes! stop breathing is definitely their standout track.
nothing much else really grabs me of theirs.
