The best song to go insane to listening to all the time

It's definitely Egyptian Shumba isn't it? Either that or, Good Vibrations, A Day In The Life, Teenage Kicks (you're welcome John Peel) or Be My Baby (you're welcome Brian Wilson)

But yeah, it's definitely Egyptian Shumba:

Len - Steal My Sunshine or Booker T. & The MG's - Soul Limbo

Not one of us could claim that they haven't imagined strapping a pyramid-shaped speaker to their head, blasting this out Soul Limbo and running through the streets lopping off people's arms. Not a single one.

I love that the top comment is from their cousin. can't tell if he's just matter-of-fact or apologetic, but I do hope no-one knocks him off the top. scroll down a bit & there's a nephew too.
if I stare hard enough, maybe I'll be related to one of them as well.

When I finally crack and go full The Day Kilroy Lost His Mind, it will most likely be to the sound of 1953 novelty single There's A New Sound by Tony Burrello.

It's a good shout. I think it's almost certainly essential that the song is an oldie, one whose scrappy old production values adds to the chaotic sound of a mind unravelling, like panicked hands rifling through the kitchen junk drawer, through all the empty disposable lighters and plastic birthday candle holders and blister packs of expired Boots paracetamol. Trying to find something but not knowing what it is. Unable to comprehend the volume of useless shit, all of it rattling away noisily as it does on the MDF base of the drawer.

And all the while the stereo in the living room down the hall blasts a single song on repeat. An upbeat dance number, for sure. One that used to signal a good time being had by all, but not any more. Now it's lost all meaning, Chinese-whispered down the dark avenues of the soul, just a cacophonous din you're scared to turn off because the silence would be deafening. Each repeated listen becomes warped and distorted only in the ear of the one being turned inside out by it, reverberating, the pitch bending up and down ever so slightly.

I can picture the scene and I can hear Del Shannon's "Misery". It's a song that would have made people dance, but its lyrics are pointedly sad, and its repetitious rhythm with its tinkling piano would almost certainly chip that fragile sanity away quite quickly, not to mention the demented Musitron solo. Imagine what that fucker would do to you after 5-10 repeated listens, let alone endless days of it.

Brrr.


Toots and the Maytals - 54-46 Was My Number, or Train to Skaville by The Ethiopians, as they essentially have the same rhythm track.

In a nightmare remix of Groundhog Day where the protagonist, instead of gradually bettering himself as a person, simply wakes up more insane every day until his brain deforms to jelly, the morning radio alarm is Annie – The Breakfast Song.

Imagine just listening to The Caretaker on repeat forever.

I posted this on here recently. It's Yuka Sakazaki's entrance music.

It's incredible. Someone else posted a link to the 1 hour long fan edit of it that is up there with Dopesmoker as a piece of music that will change your life if you make it till the end.
