Pretty Girls are Everywhere. When You See Them, I'll Be There
Among the songs that you will not find on Josh's Pulsecast: "Seasons in the Sun," Jacques Brel's "impossibly maudlin" bit of doggerel that has been covered by The Kingston Trio, Terry Jacks and, improbably, Nirvana. In today's Slate, James Sullivan has an amusing analysis of the song's badness:
The singer addresses his friend, his father, and his lover as he prepares to die of unspecified causes—assuming, that is, that "too much wine and too much song" isn't a diagnosis.
Is the song stuck in your head yet? You're welcome.
