What's your favorite Was (Not Was) song?

[bbernardini]

I just acquired vinyl rips of the first two Was (Not Was) album, so it got me to thinking...surely, people smart enough to be here are smart enough to recognize the genius of Don and David Was. When I saw them in a small club in Philadelphia a few years ago on their "reunion" tour, it was one of the top five concerts I've ever seen...and that list is nearly at 300.

So, what's your favorite Was (Not Was) song? I can't pick just one, so I have to go with:

Uptempo - "Knocked Down Made Small"

Ballad - "Where Did Your Heart Go"

[Matsubara]

1. Walk the Dinosaur?

5. You! You! You!

I haven't heard it in years but I remember being quite fond of it because it featured Syd Straw who happens to be one of the coolest people on the planet

6. I feel better than James Brown

Though Spy in the house of love and Papa was a rolling stone get definite props.

8. I mean its just so surreal (lyrics ahead)

When we were in love I pretended you didn't exist
That way I loved you more
You suggested we get married and move into a house
I suggested that we jump overboard
And live underwater in the lost city of Atlantis
Where mermaids sing
And tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast

One year later I was transfered to the moon
Worse pay, better hours
I was transfered to the moon
Worse pay, better fellow workers

I built our love out of blood
I went to the dentist and told him "take out my heart"
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown

I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro
Buxom cross dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet
As we discussed the fate of the revolution
Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis
Tried to stab us with fountain pens
Fidel blew mustard gas from his cigar
And immobalized the lot of them
19 tequilas later we had a deal
Havana goes back to the mob
And Fidel and I open a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken shops

Ain't life sweet? I feel good
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel?

I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now, how do you feel?
