  Sunday Morning Musicology

Instead of going to church this morning, I was thinking about what a great period for music the early 1990s was, and in that context, who could not think of Primal Scream's classic album "Screamadelica"?

This song, "Movin' on Up," is a nice example. It's a blatant Rolling Stones rip-off, with elements of soul, house, and Washington D.C.'s go-go added in. Plus, it has some of the most endearingly goofy dancing by a lead singer you'll ever see.

I'm imagining an after-midnight party at an abandoned Manchester factory with a lot of Ecstasy.....

 
Comments:
You go to church?
 
Yeah, word on the Internet is that you're a Muslim. Just like Obama.
 
I'm sorry, but the way that lead singer dances is so gay I just can't watch.

(Of course, I know he's probably not really gay, just a white guy who can't dance trying and failing, but still....)
 
I'm imagining those black back-up singers muttering something about that "damn sissy white boy singer..."
