A Perfectly Cromulent Blog

Bear with me, it's not like I do one of those "random playlist" things every week

I knew I was a YouTube addict when I actually registered in order to collect all my precious discoveries in one place. They range from the wistfully nostalgic (Warren Zevon performing "Splendid Isolation" on Letterman in 1989) to the guiltiest of guilty pleasures ("Flash's Theme" by Queen, complete with super awesome soundbites). From the old ("The Sun Always Shines on TV" - a-ha) to the very old ("Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen again) to the new ("Sing Me Spanish Techno" - New Pornographers), it's an embarrassment of riches. The key word, in my case, being "embarrassment."

To that end, I'll share with you one of my favorite finds. I won't claim it's the weirdest thing out there, far from it, but it definitely ranks as one of the more...esoteric pairings I've come across. I put it up there with David Bowie singing "The Little Drummer Boy" with Bing Crosby and Mike Ditka appearing with Cathy Guisewite's "Cathy" in that animated McDonald's commercial I'm still not sure I didn't hallucinate. Ladies and germs, I give you the Circle Jerks, at CBGB's, singing the Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destroy You."
