Cage the Elephant - Ain't no Rest for the Wicket

An interesting music video for this song. It is a bit out there but I like it.

Just remember - 
"There ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, and ain't nothin' in this world for free.
Now I can't slow down, I can't hold back, though you know I wish I could.
But there ain't no rest for the wicked until we close our eyes for good."
Cage the Elephant - Ain't no Rest for the Wicked

Freestylers - Cracks (Flux Pavilion Remix)

Best listened to at maximum volume on either headphones with great bass or a stereo system with a huge sub woofer. I personally use a set of Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2 5.1 surround headphones. They have a dedicated sub driver so the bass hits really hard.

Make sure to select 480p or higher for better audio quality.

Billy Joel - The Longest Time

The Longest Time was the 4th single released on the 1983 Billy Joel album An Innocent Man and the song wasn't a single until 1984. It is a do-wop number with Billy doing 14 vocal tracks which are all mixed together along with a bass line, high hats, and snapping fingers to produce the final song.

The Verve Pipe - The Freshman

Released in 1996 (15 years ago... now I feel old) by The Verve Pipe, The Freshman is a take of a young couple that gets pregnant, has an abortion and then feels guilt stricken to the point that she kills herself with an overdose. The suicide never actually happened but the story of the abortion is based on real events in the artist's life. In the end the song is basically saying "we were all kids (freshman) at one time in our lives, we all make mistakes, let it go."

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky

It's time for some classic rock! Spirit In The Sky was recorded by Norman Greenbaum in 1969 and while it contains lyrics about the afterlife and Jesus, Greenbaum was Jewish and said that he had no particular religious intentions with the song. Spirit In The Sky topped out at #3 on the Billboard charts.
