There's a ton of classic rock on here - a lot of AC/DC which doesn't shock me with Hawkeye fans. They're amazing...

but for those of you into that - if there's one band to check out that is new and from my earlier videos - It's Royal Blood. They are kind of like a modern AC/DC or kind of like Jet from the 90's. I feel like this song will be playing in stadiums for the next 10 years.

I don't really see AC/DC here. Nevertheless, they have a nice sound. I get more of a trimmed down Nine Inch Nails vibe from them.
 
Amazing how they fit these lyrics into the melody and rhythm of this song.

Honestly I don't they the vocalist sings the same words shown, but sings other words. Give it a listen.



The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
R.E.M.

Lyrics
This here is the place I will be staying
There isn't a number
You can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more
If I don't pick up, pick up
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass,
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that it's
Really, really, really, really me

Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss;

Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds
And little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up
Call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up
Call me when you try to wake her

We've got to moogie, moogie, move on this one




 
Two of the guys on had on my earlier "check out" list collaborated last week on SNL - If the Hawks were to ever win a NT in either FB or Hoops, I imagine that's how I'll feel when I watched this.
