Spring is officially here!! Or, is it?

I say that because a Winter storm has been forecast for later today. I still have my fingers crossed that it will only be rain here! This will be a quick "song of the day post" because I will soon be off to Devin's school to work at the book fair. I love the Spring book fair, because all the books are buy-one-get-one-free. How can you beat that? It's great for the teachers as well, because they can stock up on books for their classrooms. Okay, onto the song of the day!

Today, I have chosen the debut single from the band, Cake, called "Rock and Roll Lifestyle". This band has soooo many great songs to choose from, and I am sure each of them will eventually become a SOD, but let's begin with this gem from their first album, "Motorcade of Generosity"How do I describe this song? It's mostly an acoustic jam, but the word "funky" springs to mind as well. It's just a great song to "bop" along to, for lack of a better description! The theme of the song is "How do you afford your rock n roll lifestyle?", referring to the people who seem to be at every rock concert and have every t-shirt to prove they were there and that "you saw them first" (to quote the song). Definitely one of those songs that sticks in your head, in a good way!

With that, I am off to sell some books, and hopefully buy one (and get one free!!) for Devin and/or myself as well (hey, they have books for us "big kids", too! LOL)
