The Rebel Black Dot Songs of the Day

The Temptations, "Shout" via iTunes (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: This rendition of "Shout" begins with a brief audio excerpt from the motion picture Animal House, even though the Temptations were not the band to portray the fictional Otis Day & the Knights in the film. I don't mind this—catching a few minutes of Animal House on television the other night is the reason "Shout" is today's R.B.D.S.O.T.D.—I just find it curious.

Fountains of Wayne, "Denise" from Utopia Parkway (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"I know this girl named Denise,
She makes me weak at the knees…

"I heard she used to be married,
She listens to Puff Daddy,
She works at Liberty Travel,
She got a heart made of gravel.

"(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la!)
She controls me,
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la!)
She can't help herself…"
