My apologies to Andy, both for missing the opportunity to do this for your Season, and for gratuitously posting it post-Season. But it is entirely due to your Season that I ended up doing it, so it kind of belongs to this thread, even though it's too late to qualify.
I will delete this if you wish.
Yesterday David @potmo revealed Camper Van Beethoven (a band founded by two Davids) hiding in the Noise Pop Festival performers list. I was saddened to have missed the opportunity to do their big hit. Then I realized it's a canonical "vague lyrics" song (for 734)!
In 1983, David Lowery wrote a song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling".
A year or so ago, he wrote a song called "I Wrote a Song Called Take the Skinheads Bowling".
The song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling" is about nothing and has very vague lyrics.
The song called "I Wrote a Song Called Take the Skinheads Bowling" is a song about writing the song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and has very concrete lyrics, including about how the song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling" is a song about nothing.
I didn't write the song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling", and I didn't write the song called "I Wrote a Song Called Take the Skinheads Bowling", but I sang you the song called "Take the Skinheads Bowling", followed by the song called "I Wrote a Song Called Take the Skinheads Bowling".
They're both very short and fun.
PS, it only yesterday dawned on me, after 4+ decades of wondering "Why 'Camper'?", that the band name is a portmanteau of "camper van" + "(Ludwig) Van Beethoven". D'oh.
What a great theme this was, Andy @DesertPavement ! So many different and amazing artists covered, and almost no duplicates … plus great originals. I hope you're okay … I'm not sure we've seen you for a bit. I know hosting can be a lot.
