Musical Sunday!

[next_to_normal]

Typically, I use this space to talk about the love of my life (musical theater), but I got all caught up in the Jersey pride thing that I decided to do something a little different today.

Oh, sure, I could've posted something about Jersey Boys, but... I've never seen Jersey Boys, and the soundtrack is basically just Four Seasons songs, so it's not like I'd be enlightening the masses or anything, you know? (But my parents saw Jersey Boys and they said it was great, so there's my plug for the day.)

Instead, I'm going to post my favorite JERSEY SONGS.

"I'm From New Jersey," by John Gorka. FINALLY, someone has captured my inferiority complex in song!

"New Jersey Girl," by Nerf Herder. Yep, the ones who did the Buffy theme song.

"Jersey Girl," by Tom Waits. Also check out covers by Jersey boys Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi.

"Ocean City Girl," by Ivy. I have actually listened to this song while driving to Ocean City, which amused me. :)

Has anyone written songs about where you're from? (No love for New York and California - everybody writes songs about them!)

Heh, yeah, London's almost as well-represented as New York. :) Excellent choice.

I have to say, I think the Tube is actually better than the Metro, but this is still one of my favorite songs ever:

ROLFCOPTER. :-)

Also, I think I heard a bit of The Jam influence in that song...
