bike music and a stupid observation.
 

so i'm a fan of downloading a song here and there (before you cry "piracy!", the only albums i've downloaded in full are ones i've purchased already), and i was looking for some songs about bikes. queen is an obvious one, then there's the ghoti hook song "i like my bike" that has a pee wee herman sample at the beginning. then....ummmm....i start to draw a blank. i found an snfu song called "drunk on a bike" or something, but not much else. then there's serendipper's suggestion of mylo: "sunworshiper", but beyond that....

...what's good bike music?

also, stupid observation...the jar of peanut butter i'm eating right now says this on the back: "allergen statement: contains peanuts". no ****?

Dude!
Peanut butter ROCKS!

They even have their own fan site. 2000 uses for peanut butter!
an excerpt:

1. Plug up the nursery's electric outlets to protect little fingers.
2. Use it to stick things if you run out of duct tape.
3. Two words: eye shadow.

someone posted this awhile ago.. but here again:

Bike Messenger Boy, by The Wendy Kroys
http://www.monkeybrains.net/~carrie/...ssengerboy.mp3

"come over here
bike messenger boy
i like 'em real scruffy
will you be my toy?

you got a helmet full of decals
and a big zo bag..

...

i dig your tattooed arms
and your clip-on cleats
you ride when it rains
and you ride when it sleets
i'm getting turned on baby
let's get between my sheets"

there's this:

Boards of Canada - Happy Cycling (7:56)

from Boards of Canada "Peel Session" - Warp Records WAP114CD 1999

The Moldy Peaches - Nothing came out
"I just want to ride bikes with you, and stay up late, and watch cartoons"

..and there's a Cex song with the line:
"I'll drag you out your car and teach you how to pop a wheelie"

BIG EDIT:

boards of canada, right, i saw that one before, but forgot about it.

i also just remembered a band i heard about but can't recall the name of that uses contact-mic'ed bicycles to make music. plucking spokes a la triplets of belleville, i suppose.

and turd, jealous? no...that's too mild a word.

oooo, also

Kraftwerk - Tour de France (single, 1983)

Kraftwerk - Tour de France 100th Anniversary Album (2003)

tour de france, check.

ha ha, i was just listening to that moldy peaches song yesterday.

i want more bike songs to sing while riding. maybe i should start writing my own.

Pixies - Tony's Theme

Anything by This Bike is a Pipe Bomb

Wow, go to iTunes and plug the word "bicycle" into the search bar...pretty cool...and while you're there check out the album "Rouleur" by 53x11

53x11? like the dude who's pretty unpopular on here?

i have limewire, but i think i'll get iTunes soon, since someone just told me you can't burn songs from limewire.

the spark has few. cool shirts and logos with a cyclist about to attack an SUV with an axe.

Bicycle Built For Two
(Version 1)

There is a flower
Within my heart,
Daisy, Daisy!
Planted one day
By a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell!
Whether she loves me
Or loves me not,
Sometimes it's hard to tell;
Yet I am longing to share the lot -
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

We will go 'tandem'
As man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy!
'Peddling' away
Down the road of life,
I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark
We can both despise
P'licemen and 'lamps' as well;
There are 'bright lights’
In the dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

I will stand by you
In 'wheel' or woe,
Daisy, Daisy!
You'll be the bell(e)
Which I'll ring you know!
Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You'll take the 'lead'
In each 'trip' we take,
Then if I don't do well,
I will permit you to
Use the brake,
My beautiful Daisy Bell!
