Happy Music Monday! The truth is, this particular Music Monday was supposed to run on May 18th, but the tragic death of B.B. King preempted it. So today, Scott's chosen celebrate the month gone by! Just roll with it, this is a good one. He's picked five of his favorite May-themed songs. Do you know them? Sing along!
XTC - The Wheel And The Maypole
Ah, the maypole! A mix of ancient customs and good, clean, pagan-based fun. What could be more wholesome and traditional? Hooray for May!
More May-based pleasure to come... after the jump!
DID YOU KNOW: the position of Mayor comes from the important role that government once had in bringing back the sun from the underworld, where it fell after a dragon devoured it every night? Oh, don't waste time fact checking, we're sure that's correct.
Fun fact: a Mayjor is the highest rank in the Army of Spring. They're a prog rock band who serve at the whim of the May King.
XTC - May King Plans For Nigel
Yeah, see? You didn't believe there was a May King until right now, did you? BUT THERE IS! THERE TOTALLY IS! And he's so powerful he's got TWO songs about him!
Okay, fine. The real theme of today's Music Monday is "Cool XTC Songs." Can't blame a guy for trying.
Let's just blame all that on Spring Fever and never speak of it again. Also let just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See you next week.
