Power Pop & Tron Can't Lose
All this talk about power pop got me thinking about the best Cars song they never wrote. I'm not a big Strokes fan, and I didn't even acquire Room On Fire when it was released in 2003, but I could not stop listening to "12:51." The video sealed the deal, as I'm "of a certain age."
Anyway ...
12:51
Talk to me now I'm older
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and then phone me
We could go and get forties
Fuck going to that party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go you convinced me
12:51 is the time my voice
Found the words I sought
Is it this stage I want?
The world is shutting out for us
Oh we were tense for sure
But we was confident
Kiss me now that I'm older
I won't try to control you
Friday nights have been lonely
Take it slow but don't warn me
We'd go out and get forties
Then we'd go to some party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright I'm coming

Oh yeah, love the song!
I haven't heard that song before. I can't really say I've listened to them that much, but I also can't say I've ever heard anything by them that I didn't like.
And that video game is the tits!
