frankenstein (Bad Music 1)

This was going to be a post about how I consider myself fortunate to be able to enjoy one hit wonder crappy radio music.

But after doing a little prep work, the post has taken over and commands me to focus on a particular one hit wonder - well, 2 hits really. These days everyone out there will turn up the radio and roll down the window when they're drivin down the road and a little Tom Cochrane comes on - doesn't matter if it's "Life is a Highway" or his first break through - the semi-psycadelic 80s rock song you used to listen to in highschool with 8 of your buddies crammed into the back of a minivan that looked like the mystery machine leaking pot smoke from every crevice - "Lunatic Fringe."

Do you remember in what years those songs were released? Answers at the bottom.

But throuogh your reminicing sing along or stoned introspection, did you ever really think about the words that he is singing? This dude is singing about Jesus & the Rapture.


Lunatic Fringe: 1981
Life is a Highway: 1991
