Your Stuck in my Head Song of the Day

This morning when I first woke up I had nine inch nail's Eraser in my head because of it's rather prominent place in one of my dreams ( a really fun and bizarre house party where it was playing on a dance floor) but that really has nothing to do with this song at all. I guess I first heard this song when I was thinking about what to do if anything for BBE* and this song was something that came to mind. It's What I Am, the one hit of that wonder Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.

It's such a fun little quirky song it's rather infectious and I hadn't seen the video before tonight in I have no clue how many years but the laid back low key feel of the video really reminds me of like those cerrtain folkies, singer songwriters and what not types in the early 90s, though i think most videos had to have had a bigger budget than this one; there's no way the set of an empty warehouse and a few lamps could have cost more than like 20 dollars. But any band that claims to be bohemian really wouldn't care about such things- it is all about the music, after all. and so here is Your Stuck in My Head Song of the Day, What I Am by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
