B37t Out of Shape · 5:47am Dec 3rd, 2024
"Bent Out of Shape" from the 1990 album All Shook Down by The Replacements. (Their last album, and somewhat past their peak in popularity.)
This album is notable for the fact that while I love this song, I actually considered getting rid of it and haven't ever listened to it but once (and not even the entire album, at that).
I checked out a couple of the songs again a few nights ago, though, and it honestly might be worth a revisit sometime.
If not a great album, it might be one worth keeping, at least.
I was made aware of the band via a They Might Be Giants song:
"We're the Replacements" from the 1987 maxi-single of the track "Don't Let's Start" from their debut album (released later than said album). Appeared on a few subsequent rarities compilation albums, one of which I own. (It's the one this upload is from, containing their first two albums and tons of bonus tracks.)
If you blink at just the right speed (not too fast; not too slow) you can almost make her out.
Fun fun fun! Why are you so amazing Tape Deck??!
Both songs are amazing

Thanks.
Pretty good songs.
When I saw this in my Feed, I thought it said "The Refreshments," the band that did the King of the Hill theme.
I think I know what song I'm posting tomorrow.

And the Residents was that really weird band I posted on one of Cage's blogs recently.
Sometimes there's a lot of similar-sounding band names, for some reason.

The FBI? Are you on their wanted list?!!!!!

I'm actually an asset of theirs, but don't tell anyone.
Well, while definitely not "bad", "Bent Out Of Shape" is not a song I find very musically compelling. Popcorn for dinner is always a fun pasttime, though.
A fan song for another band is both highly entertaining and completely in-character for my understanding of TMBG.
Anonfilly be zooming.

TMBG almost had a song called "They Might Be Giants" on their album called They Might Be Giants, but it was delayed till their third album.
That would have been amazing.

It tooo me a second to realize what that would have meant.
That would have been incredible!

No way! My lips are sealed. I should have assumed, the almighty Tape Deck would of course be useful in their investigations of all kinds! You’re the awesomest!
