The Violent Femmes are one of those groups I didn’t know about until recently. Their song “Blister in the Sun” is pretty wonderful. But this song is my very favorite. There is something sublimely creepy about the band’s performance here. And the video has everything: Fifties outfits, Motown, country music, panpipes, elderly people, kachina dolls, disco . . .
“You were born too late / I was born too soon / But every time I look at that ugly moon / It reminds me of you . . .”
