Song Triplets!
posted by on February 16 at 14:03 PM
It’s nothing strange to wake up with a random song stuck in your head; it happens to me almost every morning. To discover, as concsciousness rises gummily up from the hungover depths, that the one song is actually three songs—now that’s strange. But I think I stumbled upon a tear in the ’80s rock-time continuum.
Try singing Mr. Mister’s “Kyrie,” the “What’s your price for flights” part of Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian,” and “Here I Go Again on My Own” by Whitesnake.
Like this:
“Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel, kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night/’Cuz I made up my mind, I ain’t wastin’ no more time/You’re motorin’! What’s your price for flights, and finding Mr. Right…” etc.
THEY’RE THE SAME FREAKIN’ SONG.
It’s another proud day for music journalism here at The Stranger.
Jonathan,
"Awesome" has been doing exactly this for their signature "encore number" for a couple of years now; a brilliant mash-up of several post-prog-rock power-ballad anthems, including "Sister Christian", and a couple of others, the names of which escape me at the moment.
I think I just fell in love with you, Jonathan.
is "awesome" a band? if so, where do i camp out for tickets?
Yes indeedy, "Awesome" (spelled with the quotation marks) is a band, and is opening for TPOTUSA at the Showbox tonight.
