A song you'll never forget: "punk" anthem from "Times Square"

I plan on uploading another clip from my interview with Jacob Brackman, but had to get this weird item uploaded, a scene from Times Squarethe film he scripted which wound being other than what was intended (both Brackman and director Allan Moyle wound up being removed from the pic before it was released, and it is a mess). This song is nearly impossible to get outta your head, perhaps because it's so oddly un-p.c., pretty dumb, and so simple you can hum it. That should make it a punk anthem along the lines of any Ramones tune, but instead it's just... sorta crazy. Enjoy.

Media Funhouse interview with Jacob Brackman

A segment from last week’s episode, part one of my interview with screenwriter/journalist/lyricist Jacob Brackman. He wrote one of my all-time favorite films from the perfect “maverick” period of early 1970s American cinema, The King of Marvin Gardens, with Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern. Here we talk about the film.
