Roadrunner, by The Modern Lovers.
Honestly, I have no idea when I got so into this song, and this album, but it was neither the first ten times someone played it for me, nor was it the result of the present day quiz show radio co-host scenario. [EDIT: Jonathan Coulton is a completely different person, dummy.] So, somewhere in between.
The bits about Massachusetts always remind me of my friends from Boston, but also of a gig in Providence on a student film where we stayed across the border in Seekonk, Mass. and had to carefully time our liquor purchases. We were driving cube trucks on the dark highway late at night, not for the first or last time.
Friday night fun with a drum loop and keyboards and a couple backup Modern Lovers.
