So I got bored on the forums, and decided, hey why not post some cool music I like? Every week, I'll post a song I really like until I run outta songs. The featured song will be linked, and it'll be my profile music for a week. If possible, I'll include the lyrics, and a little bit of my opinion on the track.

For this week, an electro swing song; Lone Digger. Made by the band Caravan Palace, it's a pretty famous electro swing song. Even people who didn't know the genre often know the song. It's what got me into that genre, and frankly, I love it. The lyrics are strange, but who cares? The music video is weirder.

Lyrics:


Hey, brother, what you thinking?
Leave that old record spinning
You feel the rhythm going
(They call it lonely diggin')


Let's end your time to lay low
Your knees are bending and so
It's time to get up and let go
(You're gonna come undone)


Hey, mama, how's it going?
Can't see your body moving
Don't leave the party dying
(They call it lonely diggin')


Your booty shaking, you know
Your head has no right to say no
Tonight it's "Ready, set, go!"


Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
So we can get with 'em
To the crowd, and get us a rock and roll 'round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go
Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams
When I come up on the scene


Hey, brother, what you thinking?
That good ol' sound is ringing
They don't know what they're missing
(They call it lonely diggin')


Let's end your time to lay low
Your knees are bending and so
It's time to get up and let go


Hey, brother, nice and steady
Put down your drink, you're ready
It's hard when things get messy
(They call it lonely diggin')


Your booty shaking, you know
Your head has no right to say no
Tonight it's "Ready, set, go!"


Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
So we can get with 'em
To the crowd, and get us a rock and roll 'round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams
When I come up on the scene


Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
So we can get with 'em
To the crowd, and get us a rock and roll 'round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Baby, can you move it round the rhythm?
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams
When I come up on the scene

Here's the link to an album I love.
It's Jeff Wayne's musical version of the famous book "The War of the Worlds"
Basically it's an album of music, and every now and then, the guy reads out a line from the book, and it's done in such a way that you can follow the story but still enjoy the music, and I absolutely love it.
Unfortunately the first track is removed for copywrite, but it's basically just a flash of lightning and a cylinder appears in the ground.
