The Music Lover, Ch. 18

In times of yore, a certain John Patrick McGinnis, did reside in a dorm room directly adjacent to the author of this blog.  At times too frequent, said McGinnis who at that time was known by the moniker "The Duck," would play certain music which came to be known as "duck music" to the great displeasure of said author. Duck music at its worst manifestation would consist of Sam Cooke's famous tome "You send me" which said Duck would rename "Uge send me," Uge of course being the moniker at that time of the author of this blog.  Another frightful manifestation would consist of the the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Token, which would oft be played at hours late and undear.

Before the Duck's untimely demise, he did fashion a CD for the author's torture.   Perhaps it was meant as enjoyment.   It ensured as follows:

1.  Ain't So Far to Go--David Byrne
2.  Annie Get Your Gun--Squeeze
3.  Californication--Red Hot Chili Peppers
4.  Fireplace--R.E.M.
5.  Foreplay--Boston
6.  Free Nelson Mandela--The Special A.K.A.
7.  Bangels Hits Mix
8.  Its a Sin to Lie--Fats Wallace
9.  Little Eyes--Yo La Tengo
10.  Little Guitars--Van Halen
11.  Somebody to Love--George Michael/Queen
12.  Sweet Child of Mine--Guns and Roses
13.  The Electric Company--U2
14.  The Glory of Love--Big Bill Broonzy
15.  25-Fourty One--Marshall Crenshaw

This presented a very pleasing listening experience.   Perhaps I should reconsider my previous disdain of "Duck" music.   Perhaps a Duck music retrospective is in order:-)
