What are you listening to?

UK band The Stone Roses. They only released 2 records and a B-side compilation, but they will always have my love. These are a few cuts from their 1994 album, Second Coming. The guitar work from John Squire is extraordinary, recalling work by people as disparate as Peter Green and Jimmy Page. A swampy, bluesy selection, with knowing lyrics. Enjoy!:cool2:




 
A: Yes. It is a jungle out there.
Reading this quote from the C's in the latest session I was reminded of this tune:

Jethro Tull - "Bungle in the Jungle"​


Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.
I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.''
This game that we animals play is a winner.

Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle
as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
 
I recently came upon the Electro swing genre. It has an old fashioned vibe but is more upbeat, so not late night music. But it seems to help as background music if you're doing other things. Note that I find these new compilation videos are made of AI generated images.

This one gets good around 16:33

I absolutely love electroswing music, @3DStudent! Thanks for the share. Have you heard this one by Caravan Palace? I love the lyrics, but the music video is kinda weird, so will just share the audio only here:
