With Jay's admonition in the previous post about my responsibilities of keeping him updated with music in mind, let me submit (or resubmit) for your consideration the Electric Six, my favorite band of the past couple of years. Electric Six is best described as a heavy rock/disco/dance machine ironic whirlwind of love, briefcases, fire, and Detroit Rock City. Vocalist and primary writer Dick Valentine has a voice of metal and a look of cheese about him. Their songs are hilarious and are generally about dancing, love, dancing, fire, dancing, celebrities, dancing, politicians, dancing, and Satan. Following is a video for "I Buy the Drugs" from their latest masterpiece Switzerland with lyrics following.
I Buy the Drugs
And I don't mind your rabid doggy
And I don't mind it when it bites
'Cos the days are nights and the nights are longer
Than watching days turn into nights
Yeah!
I buy the drugs
I light the fire
I am your main supplier
I am your man and I buy the drugs
I can be the jump start for the car parked in your mind
Cos' You left the lights on all night long
We can drive for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Have you ever smelt the clothes her sexy clothes?
Have you ever got to know her
Like I do?
Have you ever reversed roles?
Gave up control?
Stayed home and let your woman
Support you?
Yeah!
Yeah!
I buy the drugs
I light the fire
I am your main supplier
I am your man and I buy the drugs
I can be the jump start for the car parked in your mind
Cos' You left the lights on all night long
We can drive for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
If you ever find yourself in need
You can submit your request in writing
And this is what you do
Send in a self addressed stamped envelope
To PO Box 900
Los Angeles
California
90212
And I will fill your perscription with some degree of accuracy
And then I'll send it back to you
And then I'll send it back to you
And then I'll send it back to you
Yeah!
Please note that the address Dick Valentine gives for sending drug requests is to Fox News' L.A. Bureau! You can find E6's website, complete with hilarious postings from Mr. Valentine here.
I do not want to see a post from Jay in 2016 whining about how I never told him about Electric 6.

So could someone give me his number...?
LOVE IT. Seems to be very tongue in cheek, a la Eagles of Death Metal. No whining in 2016, I promise.
For your further purusing, check out their songs Jimmy Carter, Dance Commander (big college hit a couple years ago), She's White, and Rock and Roll Invasion. These guys are an addiction and just phenomenal live.
