When I drove to work this morning, I had Sloan's album (CD) Navy Blues playing and I did what I rarely do, I played the same song twice in a row. My jam was on this particular morning "Money City Maniacs" which sounds like a melding of AC/DC and Big Star. The blaring sirens that open the track are an instant hook. The lyrics seem to describe wild days and nights on the road for a touring road dog band, with the lyric I mistakenly overhead as "And the joke is/When he awoke his/Body was covered in goat piss." Unfortunately, the real line is, apparently, "coke fizz" and not "goat piss." I'm not sure which one makes the least sense. In any case, it doesn't really matter that much because the song is a total ear worm.
