Marvin Gaye, "God is Love" via iTunes (Alistair)

Commentary: There comes a point in time when a man has to set his music player of choice to play "Stomp Box" is an continuous loop, set the volume to eleven*, and flail about as if seized by madness until he collapses in a euphoric heap on his floor.

Faithful friend and first-year father Alistair actually nominated "God is Love/Mercy Mercy Me," but I could not find a medley of the two songs; so, they shall be presented separately, thus doubling the daily Gaye goodness. Quite a boon!

*This is Spinal Tap is masterful and Nigel Tufnel's custom speaker remains a gag of singular genius, but I fear that references to turning the volume up "to eleven" are becoming far too widespread. The expression has acquired a vogue entirely divorced from the film and is in great danger of becoming banal. So, to paraphrase Elwood Blues's famous admonition from Briefcase Full of Blues, today, while we still can, let us crank our speakers up eleven and flail about to "Stomp Box" (or whatever song strikes your fancy).
