Random Song: “Bits and Pieces” by The Dave Clark Five

16 Mar

I just turned on my IPod to listen to some music while I put away my laundry (is there a better feeling then warm laundry?) A random song popped on. This is the gist of this new category. Occasionally I will just post up a song. It could be a song that I like or hate. It could be a song that is stuck in my head or a song that I have not listened to for a while. Basically, if a song is playing and I want to post…I am going to post it. How does that sound?

Well, it is now 1:32 a.m. and I should really go to sleep. But, I am a bit restless. My essay on the male dominated theocracy present in “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood is not treating me well. I just finished watching a documentary on North Korea called “Welcome to North Korea.” It is an interesting watch and it can be streamed for free on www.archive.org. And, it is only an hour. I am sure you can spare an hour to be socially and culturally stimulated.

I have to believe that before this still was taken the band was rocking side-to-side

Wait, this is a music blog. Right? Oh yeah! “Bits and Pieces” by The Dave Clark Five is a two minute song that hit #4 on U.S. charts in 1964. It is a quick and catchy tune. But, you must watch the video that I will embed. Watch it and attempt not to cock your head side to side. It is like The Dave Clark Five were traded for smiling robots with two functions: play music and move side-to-side. Oh, and they also stomp their feet. This is hilariously entertaining.
