defunkt

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 26 July 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

so like if you were a radio dj, you could say about these songs "that was just (blank) with (blank) off their album (blank)."

― peter smith (plsmith), Monday, 26 July 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

another interesting list to think of is artists who have an album and song on that album whose name is exactly the band name. the only 2 i can think of (im sure some above are examples) are defunkt and bad company.
so like if you were a radio dj, you could say about these songs "that was just (blank) with (blank) off their album (blank)."
