Singapore Bill: The song “TANK!” is best known as the theme song to the Japanese anime (cartoon series) “Cowboy Bebop”. It’s a very popular show and this driving tune is impossible to ignore. That’s why I use it as my ringtone. These musicians are the original players.

Something to Wake Up With
Weird thing about country music: it always seems to either be relentlessly upbeat, or horribly depressing.
And yeah, I’m sure that’s an invalid generalization; but that’s how this City Mouse sees it.
Please keep the music coming, and let me know whether you want your name used (if I’m unsure, I won’t). Any sort of music is fine, as long as it gets the blood pumping. Earworms are a bonus!
Another Sunny Song
Some bonus Memorial Day Weekend wake-up music, except this one’s been banished to the Arlo Page for language.

More Memorial Weekend Wake-Up Music
B.A. sends us some Sheryl Crow
Good Day, Sunshine
I was hoping people would submit “sunny day” music, especially appropriate for what for many people will be a lost Memorial Day weekend.
Shrug came through with this one:
(Of course all this being said, we mustn’t forget what Memorial Day is really all about: the men and women who never made it back to enjoy May weekends at the beach)
Mon Dieu, this is even more horrible in French!
Envoyée par Olivier:
Please send your wake-up music to.
Remember, we’re not looking for music that reminds us of viruses and quarantines, but rather music that reminds us of nightmarish dancing ducks and gives us earworms that’ll last us through the work (-at home) day.
[OT] Asking for a different kind of song recommendation
My sister-in-law, who lives on the other coast, has got it into her head that next time we’re all together, she and I have to sing karaoke together. Now keep in mind that I’m old — and will probably be considerably older by the time we see one another — and I haven’t sung in public since I was 12. Not even “Happy Birthday.” I’m not quite tone deaf enough to not know how bad I am.
Apparently she’s at least as bad.
I don’t know how drunk she expects both of us to be — which would be a feat in any case, since neither of us drinks.
But she’s fixated on this, and wants me to pick the song, so what duet should I choose?
Thursday Morning Rain, Steam and Speed
This morning’s wake-up comes from Narmitaj:
