What other music video has special appearances by AC/DC, Alice Cooper, and the Spice Girls?
Learning how to play the main riff to this song was one of my proudest moments in grade 10 guitar class.

#songoftheday: Led Zeppelin – Ten Years Gone
Layers. This song has ’em.
Led Zeppelin were always fantastic at forging a narrative on a purely instrumental level. The lyrics support the tale, but it’s the music that really drives it home.
#songoftheday: Dal★Shabet – Mr. Bang Bang
Multiple wardrobe changes is without a doubt, the secret to a successful bank heist.
Funny enough, I came across this tune a couple years ago, while trying to track down a song about professional wrestler, and New York Times #1 best-seller, Mick Foley.
#songoftheday: Neil Young – Heart of Gold
As impressive as Neil Young’s songwriting chops are, I just can’t get over how well he can manage playing the guitar and harmonica at the same time.
#songoftheday: Ellie Goulding – Figure 8
Just a hint of dubstep to go along with Ellie Goulding’s signature synth-pop sound.
#songoftheday: Pearl Jam – Sleeping By Myself
A more stripped down version of this song was originally featured on Eddie Vedder’s solo album, “Ukulele Songs”. This take, featuring the full band, retains the sombre tone of the original, but manages to come across as kind of beautiful and uplifting at the same time.
#songoftheday: U2 – Invisible
“I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about you that much…
Unless I start to think at all.”
I’m always wowed by the way that U2 manages to retain a signature sound, but always manage to come across as sounding contemporary. The fact that they’ve consistently pulled this off for over thirty years is just insane.
#songoftheday: DeBarge – I Like It
Oddly enough, I came across this gem by way of “Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-N-Effect. It turns out the lines, “I like the way you comb your hair, and I like those stylish clothes you wear” have been used in a few songs since this DeBarge hit.
#songoftheday: Ash – Kung Fu
I can’t remember all of Jackie Chan’s stunts from Rumble in the Bronx, but I do remember this song playing over the credits. Hearing it in the movie Angus, pretty much cemented it’s status as one of my favourite songs.
#songoftheday: Good Charlotte – Little Things
The rest of the world may associate this song with Good Charlotte’s debut album, but for me, it’ll always be track 7 on Soup’s Punk Mix vol. 2.
