I've watched this a bunch since KEXP posted it. These guys just 'get it'. I don't know what 'it' is. But 'they get it'.

I'm currently working for a business that runs a preset playlist of songs in-store. The same songs daily, every single day. I get a lot of top 40 shit drilled into my brain as a result. Most of the songs are uniformly bland and terrible, but few of them get stuck in my head as badly as these:

I don't like to admit this--not even to myself--but I'm starting to like some of this shit. That Lonestar song still makes me gag, though.

^some heavy stuff there

my kid has been listening to the top gun ost the whole week (don't ask) and what's stuck is not even the really good songs, like the kenny loggins ones but this:

An amazing track but that last minute and 11 seconds just achieves other worldlyness (maybe not that but, some strange feeling of a nostalgia that never was). Catchy melodies.

Great track! Is that George Duke on the synth (an Arp Odyssey, I suppose), or has he left the band at that time already?

I don't think he was on 'Zoot Allures' and I honestly never thought that was a synth. Zappa loved the Mu-Tron stuff and Oberheim VCF so I always thought it was that mixed with his heavily modded guitars. My ears have failed me many times before though so I'm sure I'm wrong.

That's a synth. It sounds very much like my KORG 800DV at 4:14, hey, maybe it's even that one! That would explain the stereo sounds and the sound is just how the KORG Traveler filter and the old oscillators sound like.

Let's go with that. This track is allegedly ARP Odyssey core (a couple of synths were used on the track but the iconic lead part was allegedly the Oddy)

This song doesn't have either of those synths in it. But, it is proven one will be in a better mood if they start their day with this track [citation 'Super Duper Scientific Journal of The World: Scientists of The World Agreeing About Stuff Monthly]

Conversely, the same scientific journal found an influx of suicides per repetition of this awful song. For all intents and purposes, this track makes the title of this thread appropriate.

I always loved this version by DC Talk:
