I like SF shows in general, but what put "Farscape" above all others for me was Gigi Edgley as Chiana.

Talking Head's "Girlfriend Is Better" which contains the line that gave Jonathan Demme's 1984 concert movie masterpiece its name "Stop Making Sense". And here a surprisingly competent version by the cover band "HeartByrne".

I got a girlfriend that's better than this But you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long Stop making sense, stop making sense Stop making sense, making sense I got a girlfriend shes's better than that And nothing is better than this (Is it?)

Joachim Löw, ex-manager of the German national soccer team, used to scratch himself in his pants and then sniff his fingers. He also picked his nose, all on TV during matches. On the other hand, he won the 2014 World Cup. If this is the price you have to pay...

They call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for? Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

Eight miles high, and when you touch down You'll find that it's stranger than known Signs in the street, that say where you're going Are somewhere just being their own Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain gray town, known for its sound In places, small faces unbound

A while ago, we had another thread about "all-star bands". This one would certainly qualify. A rock'n'roll medley fronted by Leslie West (Mountain) and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), with Steve Hunter and Stewart Copeland (Police) on drums. But you can also catch glimpses of Steve Howe (Yes) on acoustic guitar and some others, such as Robbie Krieger (Doors), Pete Haycock (Climax Blues Band), Ted Turner and Andy Powell (both Wishbone Ash), and Randy California (Spirit) on tambourine (they probably ran out of guitars).

There've been so many girls that I've known I've made so many cry and still I wonder why Here comes the little girl, I see her walking down the street She is all by herself, I try and knock her off her feet 'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break This heart of stone Oh, no, no, no, this heart of stone

I bought the Mississippi River Of course that don't include the towns Or the people Around the Mississippi Well, to cinch the deal the man threw In a boat with crew And then I knew I'd better grab that River fast It wouldn't last They never do, they never do It wouldn't last, last, last

For many bands 50+ years ago it is difficult to find live clips in good A/V quality. Here is one of the Jefferson Airplane.

Another underrated band: Family Here the same song in better audio quality...

… I'm a-gonna raise a fuss I'm a-gonna raise a holler About a-workin' all summer Just to try to earn a dollar … Every time I call my baby Try to get a date My boss says, "No dice, son You gotta work late" … Sometimes I wonder What I'm a-gonna do But there ain't no cure For the summertime blues

Seventy-three men sailed up From the San Francisco Bay Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say "We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore We can laugh our lives away and be free once more" But no one heard them callin' No one came at all 'Cause they were too busy watchin' those old raindrops fall As a storm was blowin' out on the peaceful sea Seventy-three men sailing off to history

Pepperoni, extra pepperoni, peppers, onions, anchovies, olives

The Fugs - the anarchists of the 1960s. Some of them remained active. Here is Tuli Kupferberg in 1999 with his interpretation of the 10 commandments. Still, their best opus was the "nothing" song, here live in 2016.
