A song to pick a pumpkin to 🎃

The Secret Garden film soundtrack by Zbigniew Preisner is absolutely enchanting & this song feels like it would be good for a pumpkin patch

It seems like you’re the one dismissing political realities. People in this thread are explaining these things greatly impact people’s lives and you’d like them to be pushed aside for someone else’s political advancement. If you really want to convince people, I suggest a different tact.

Tactical frivolity is crucial

Same! I’ve only heard “Stacy’s Mom,” so my main point of reference for him is his incredible work on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. So many songs in so many genres, and so many of them total bangers.

A song about love without “love” in the title

“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack, whose music and vocal stylings sweep me away to a romantic dream quite unlike any other artist.

I think this song has one of the creepiest refrains in all of music 😳😬:
“The Day The Nazi Died” by Chumbawumba, a strong contender for Most Punk Rock Band Ever (their history is wildly awesome).

I remember as a kid hearing the sequel to this song and being blown away that a song could have a sequel. Love it all!
