I was inspired by a post on Butterboy's blog by Oniswa, so I made this connection. It has completely diferent tracks. Just my interpretation of it. Listen to both. I can't speak for the other one, but there were so many songs about the shakes (and I am pretty sure none of these have to do with Arby's Orange Creamsicle shakes, even though that's what's on the cover). When I started it, I wanted to use some of my favorites, but not duplicating any from the previous pick. I should say that KC was the first I thought of, but it really was The Cars. Not that it was my very favorite of these. It just popped into my head. The Limbomaniacs are probably the one band that's least known here. But this ep was produced by Bill Laswell. And this isn't even close to their best song, but it fits here.

Whenever Swift's Shake It Off is mentioned I immediately think of a little joke David Mitchell (not the writer, but UK comedian) read from auto-cue:

It's weird how our brains work

That's not bad, the quality of the video is crap, but the song is pretty decent
