94. Camper Van Beethoven, "Pictures Of Matchstick Men"

October 21 - November 10, 1989



During an elementary school sleepover in Greeley, Colorado, me and my friends wandered past the video for this, immediately amused by the eye in the television and the cattle or whatever the hell oddball imagery they'd worked up. I missed the credits, leaving me with nothing but a haunting memory until my young adolescent alt-foraging in Bloomington, Indiana inspired me to check Key Lime Pie out of the library and I found myself wrapped in the melody again. Oh, my little underground! What gifts you bring to me! Soon after, I heard the Status Quo's original version in a soda ad, which should have been more humbling than it was.

When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window
