73. "Doctor Worm" by They Might Be Giants [iTunes? Yes] {Video: Doctor Worm.}
Sometimes it's good to be horny.
I know I go on and on a lot about the Electric Light Orchestra and their orchestration and violins and cellos and such. But, sometimes I like horns, too.
This song has some good horn work. They aren't overpowering horns, and they aren't particularly fancy horns, they are just good, solid horns that make up the backbone of this song. (Which is kind of funny since it's not a song about horns, but it is a song about playing the drums.)
Another big selling point about this song is that it is one of my favorite workout songs. It has an excellent pace for my workouts on the elliptical, and it works for me at whatever stage of working out I am in. It's slow enough that I can still keep its pace even when I haven't worked out for months and am just starting up again. And it's fast enough for those times that I have been working out for months and I need faster paced songs.
"When I get into it I can't tell if you are watching me twirling the sticks."
"Someday somebody else besides me will call me by my stage name."
COMING UP NEXT: Good, better, best! (Again.)
