KARAOKE VERSION OF SPACE ODDITY WHILE INSIDE HELICOPTER

When i was 12, I used to listen to a lot of shitty rock music (e.g. puddle of mudd, nickelback, led zeppelin). In addition to bad taste in music (peer pressure, i swear!), I was blessed w/ an unhealthy attraction to Adam Sandler. I was a fanatic, so fanatical that i owned ANYTHING w/ sandler's name on it, including this soundtrack.

There were a lot of things i liked on this album, but I especially fell in love with that Ben Kweller track. It was a lot different (and better) than puddle of mudd. So I bought Sha Sha and, using Amazon's "if you like this, you should check out: xxxxxxx" tool, i worked my way to sufjan and other pitchfork-endorsed shit. It sparked an important musical journey.

(don't worry, eventually i was rescued by pop music)

(also, i predict three votes. i'm not going to be one of them because i can't choose. note that david bowie has adam sandler tacked on as an intro.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

hang on, what age is Tape Store?

What is the script of the Adam Sandler intro?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 14 August 2008 17:21 (seventeen years ago)

it's just him singing the song in an enthusiastic but sorta obnoxious manner, i think?

I'm 18, and I forgot to mention that this album also started a major counting crows obsession, which jordan is alluding to, i think? I didn't even vote, but I would have gone for Falling. "Happy In the Meantime" deserved a vote, though!

re: S/D Sandler albums; I'll see what i can do...I remember the tracks, but I'm not sure i trust my taste circa age 12.
