Troglodyte by The Jimmy Castor Bunch. Funny. Awesome funk baseline. https://youtu.be/JNS42Na2mpc Happy Boy by the Beat Farmers. Possibly the only song in history to include a gargling solo. https://youtu.be/LEZtII8rt_Y @clearthink The New Oxford American Dictionary usage note says it is acceptable to use the word unique in the non absolute sense. Besides, from a philosophical standpoint everything is unique since even two identical things are not the other thing. As in: Remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. ;-) |
This ranks right up there:https://youtu.be/7kGPhpvqtOc |
Jon and Vangelis - The Friends of Mr. Cairo. First heard it when I was probably 14 and listening with headphones. Freaked me out a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__eZAuc2f-Q |
Alice Cooper...Ballad of Dwight Fry.... Cooper REALLY does sound like a crazy when he says "Don't TOUCH ME " . https://youtu.be/FfqrZvKI_1g?t=11 |
Here's one that is both unique and intense. There is so much going on in this song once you think about the lyrics..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX8rW34A-Uk Here's another one from one of the world's best guitarists who captured lessons from a street preacher.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRKs7o-xMU0 |
Number 9 (Beatles), though it's hardly even a song. There are many more lyrical songs that after hearing just the first few notes, I can immediately recognize even if I have not heard them for many years. Like the first 6 notes of Aqualung (Jethro Tull). But if I were more knowledgeable, I bet one could come up with influences to show very few songs are all that unique. They're all re-using the same musical scale and the same rather small set of musical instruments (which nevertheless can be re-combined in a virtually infinite number of ways.) Otherwise it'd probably just be noise. We seem to expect a balance of familiar and new. |
Maori, wedding chant.. Very emotional. Everyone in the party began the Huca Huca Huca, it slowly became more and more intense. Then a climatic HUCA, HUCA, HUCA and STOP..... I’ve never seen anything like it.. I was very honored... They became one family from two... A thousand years old tradition... BTW no pictures... steal your spirit... no jokin’ matter, wind up "part of" the wedding feast.. Yup they use to eat folks... Long Pig... Regards |
Continuing in the Softs vein, Robert Wyatt singing ‘Gloria Gloom‘ with Matching Mole. https://youtu.be/tyPNZiFJyS0 |
I was about 14 and my brother brought home an Elton John album before any of his music was on the radio. I had never heard of him. “Where To Now St. Peter” i remember thinking, “Who is this British guy, and boy can he play the piano!” For that window in time, he seemed unique to me. Obviously, unique is in the eye of the beholder, and one’s opinions change with time. Similarly, all of us can think of novels that elicited a very strong reaction within us, and when we try and re-read them years later, some of them do not age very well. I still like the EJ song! |
’Fish Heads‘ by Bill Mumy of ’Lost in Space‘ fame is hard to top. https://youtu.be/JKDtUzRIG6I Childhood stardom does different things to people........ |
