I can't help but think of this.

Neu! - Hero

The only crime is money...

And then I can't help but think of this because it is bliss.

Harmonia - Deluxe (Immer Wieder)

Image

And then I think of this because it is also incredible and heavenly and the same person had it in their youtube list.

Popol Vuh - Aguirre I (L'acrime di rei)

Image

Gary Lucas does an amazing version with just guitar and looper.

One more thing springs to mind.

Aphex Twin - On (Reload Mix)

It is better than the original but you miss out on the video, directed by Jarvis Cocker trivia fans.

And it's been ages since I listened to this one because I usually go for the mighty Black Dog remix but this is still luvverly.

Reload - Le Soleil et La Mer

Joan Blondell, Etta Moten - Remember My Forgotten Man?


Al Dubin and Harry Warren, who wrote the music and lyrics for the Gold Digger series (”gold digger” was slang for chorus girls who sought rich men) of Hollywood films, grasped the importance of Franklin Roosevelt’s evoking “the forgotten man” in a speech that ranks as one the greatest campaign speeches of the last century. Its message would define the Great Depression and the Democratic Party for the next half-century.

The two penned a song they titled, “Remember My Forgotten Man.” The substitution of the word “my” for the more generic “the” personalized the plight of millions of Americans and adding “remember” to the title reinforced the importance of the message.

Their song is uncannily constructed like Roosevelt’s speech, beginning with World War I, then moving on to the farmer and the family....

Queen - Fat Bottom Girls

Queen - Bicycle Race (Warning: Uncensored!!!)

Stereolab - Escape Pod (A calmer and equally sweet version!)

Mon desir de l' avenir
....
Il s' etend a l' enfant
....
Sans savoir a l' avance
De quoi donc il va s' agir
Meme si ca semble etrange
Le monde sourit quand il change
La violence est troublante
Pourtant parfois bien utile
Elle libere et lascere
Les noeuds de la convention
L' energie de nos corps
Et la brulante passion
La recherche du vrai
N'est pas si du tout facile
Se chercher, se trouver
Savoir se laisser aller
Mettre a terre les obstacles
Ou se rebelle le chemin
† (might be "revele", not sure here)
Mettre un terme au spectacle
Reprendre les choses en main
A quoi bon ecouter
Des verites inchangees

Dans sa reponse
J' ai trouve l' etrange verite
L' intensite d' attirance
Erotique et rebelle

translation
My desire for the future
...
Is limitted to the child in the arms of
...
Without knowing beforehand what it's going to amount to
even if it sounds strange
the world smiles when it changes
violence is troubling
although sometimes quite useful
it sets free and unties
the knots of convention
the energy of our bodies
and the burning passion
the quest for truth
is not all that easy
to be lost (to look for oneself), to be found (to find oneself)
be able to let yourself go
to throw down all obstacles
where the way is revealed
to end the show
to take charge
what's the use of listening to unchanged truths
In his answer
I have found the strange truth
the intensity of attraction
erotic and rebellious
“Joy is a current of energy in your body, like chlorophyll or sunlight,
that fills you up and makes you naturally want to do your best.” - Bill Russell

Everything Stops for Tea -- Long John Baldry

Above, as he was in his earlier days. So cool, and tall and blues-y, and gay. And the person who saved Elton John's life in "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." His friends called him "Sugarbear."
