Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

[Dr. Medulla]

Back in my last year of high school—I would have been, what, 23 or 29?—we got to vote on the theme song for the graduation dance. The options were all sloppy, gooey, chase-your-dreams horseshit represented by whatever assholes on the charts at the time. I was an oh-so-daring punk and wrote in GBH's "City Baby Attacked By Rats." I almost brought down the student government with that statement.

I'd have picked Eddy Grant - I Don't Wanna Dance

If only I had heard of them at the time, Big Black's "Kerosene" would have properly captured how I felt about my high school.

You seem very bitter about your high school. I think it's ok to let it go now.

Winter's just around the corner. My bitterness keeps me warm.

Could easily fit in Peaky Blinders.

I love hearing a younger more coherent Shane MacGowan.

Does it have to be a single element, or can it be like water or salt?

To be honest, I was thinking single element. But that would be a good next round list?

OK! I will have to think on this for awhile!
