Song-Off: Vagrancy

Popdose Staff July 22, 2008 10

Dramarama – “Work for Food”

It’s hard to go shopping in a thrift store these days without running into a t-shirt or two from Dramarama’s Hi-Fi-Sci-Fi tour, which was attended by approximately 10% of the U.S. population.

 

 

Pearl Jam – “Evenflow”

Pearl Jam was a relatively obscure Seattle band who enjoyed a brief spurt of popularity during the grunge revival of the nineties. Dressed in their favorite “wack slacks” and dismissing their critics as “lamestains,” Pearl Jam scored a minor success with their 1991 album Ten, though little has been heard from them since.

Apologies for the brevity of this week’s song-off. We’ll be back to our regular format next time. Last episode, Robert Cass pulled out a narrow victory over Mojo Flucke as Popdose readers preferred Dylan’s Rolling Stone over that of the Temptations. Next time, we’ll be debating who’s got more of a Rock and Roll Heart.

    On a tangent…. is Bruce Hornsby saying:

    “Just for fun,” he says, “Get a job.”
    -or-
    Just for fun he says, “Get a job.”

    Everyone I know thinks the latter, but I see nothing wrong with the former.

    The first one, Rich. Notice the short pause after “says”.

    ..and before “he”

    Oh, I don't know–I've always been pretty sure it's the latter, that the “man in the silk suit” is having a good time telling the ladies in the welfare line to “get a job.” It's the first of many signs in the song of the “easy racism” of the deep South.

    I love the Dramarama this song comes off of! There is a song called “Shadowless Heart” that is stellar. Oh, and there's another track called “Senseless Fun” that still gets regular airplay in my office.

    I meant, I love the album (Hi-Fi Sci-Fi) “Work For Food” comes off of.

    Great album from start to finish! My two favorites are “Prayer” and “Incredible”. I still see copies of this in the bargain bin for $1.99!!!! They should have been huge.
