Stumbling across Theres Something about Mary on cable this past weekend, I was reminded of how much I like Jonathan Richman, who plays the re-appearing acoustic troubador in the film. Today's track is from the 1976 debut album by Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers. The band, heavily influenced by the Velvet Underground, featured future Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison, and was fronted by Richman's Snot nosed adolescent voice, which would later be appropriated by Spoon's Brit Daniel and LCD Sound System's James Murphy.
The album's songs address dating awkwardness, growing up in Massachusetts, the love of life, and on today's track, Pablo Picasso.
