The Weekly Theory 11.5.2011

(Editor's note: In the previous post i talked about Kelly Slater's 11th world championship title.  Well, late last night i found out that the judges were a little premature and he needed to win one more heat this year. so although almost a certainty, it hasn't happened yet.)

I Have a Theory...

...that 68% of all cover bands have "Mustang Sally" in their playlist.

True story.  2/3 of the time you see a cover band, you're going to hear this awful song.

What i don't have a theory about is why.  Seriously, it's a miserable, miserable song.


Song of the Day
One guess...that's right it's not "Mustang Sally".  I'm going to close out this post-punk week with another offering.  Earlier this week i posted an Echo and the Bunnymen song.  Their lead singer is named Ian McCulloch and it got me thinking.  How am I NOT the lead singer of a british band?

Ian Curtis - Joy Division
Ian Astbury - The Cult
Ian Anderson - Jethro Tull
Ian Broudie - The Lightning Seeds
Ian Brown - The Stone Roses
Ian Gillan - Deep Purple
Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister - Motorhead
Ian McCulloch - Echo and the Bunnymen
Ian MacKaye - Fugazi (Ok, i know they're not British, but they're awesome)

So in honor of Ians and the oxymoron music of Joy Division, the song of the day is "Love will tear us apart".
