"Good Feeling" by the Violent Femmes brought high school back in a rush of Southern Comfort, Doc Martens, thrift store sweaters, dyeing black streaks into my hair, driving to Savannah for tattoos, crushes on boys who wore ripped jeans and plaid...I haven't thought of this song in years. Usually "Blister in the Sun" or "Add It Up" take up my frontal lobe recall.
Oddly, it was a syndicated episode of "How I Met Your Mother" during which Marshall and Lily crash a prom to find their wedding band that reminded me of this song. Lily asked the band to play "their song" (and cut to flashback about their song, etc. etc.).
More downloads to add to my iTunes...
I got in so much trouble when my mom found "Add it up" at the end of one of my Beatles tapes.
ReplyDeleteI like Good Feeling... I had never heard it before. I'm found of sad songs, too.
