Connect A Song

connection to the repeated lyric "could have been..." if there weren't "something wrong with me chemically"

Connection: from "Octopus's Garden" I thought of the movie Garden State, the soundtrack of which had this song.

As an aside, this soundtrack was immensely influential for my 18yo self and other young, pretentious college students around the same age. For the most part, I think it holds up as a pretty great soundtrack to this day

IMO the best garden song, but so many amazing contenders

Johnny Cash covered this song, and both versions are great
Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage

Connection: songs about cocaine

Death & the Dead.
“Old Casey Jones, so high on cocaine.
What a fuckin’ amateur
I got bees in my brain”

Type O Negative is the quintessential goth metal band and "Love You To Death" is one of my favorite Type O Negative songs

shadows --> night

Shadow, shadows…Underground banger from the days when we where squatting buildings and throwing well, underground party’s here in Amsterdam.

Reason: I just love DJ Shadow and this was my first and remains my favourite.

Running; run 4 yer li5

connection to the lyric "Here we come / On the run"

Former track and this one uses the Kool and the Gang's song "Give it up" from 1969. "It's Just Begun" sampled by others.

connection to the Push It lyric "Coolin' by day then at night, working up a sweat"

Female-fronted old school hip-hop, just like Missy Elliot. Although I have to say the presence of Spinderella really elevates this cut.

Songs on the rotation at the store I used to work at

More old school East Coast hip-hop, plus the word "hooligan" in the lyrics

Flava connecting to Flavor Flav
