Welcome to the inaugural Tuesday Tunes! I’m your host, Ryan Fleacrest (best known for hosting ENTO40 and American Emerald), and I’ll be bringing you some of the music industries odes to Odes (and other insects of course), each and every Tuesday! Neatly placed into your blogweek (between favourites such as Sunday Night Movie, Monday Night Mystery and the dual powers of Friday Beetle Blogging and Friday Flower), Tuesday Tunes will showcase a wide array of musical talents and genres, all with an entomological theme, either in the song title or lyrics, album name, or artist! The request lines are wide open, so if you have a favourite song, feel free to pass it along in the comments!
The honoured spot of first Tuesday Tune goes to the Presidents of the United States of America with their lesser known single Ladybug. P.U.S.A. hit the top of the charts in the ’90s with hits like Peaches and Lump, but their geeky style and alternative rock sound have a solid place in my heart!
Join me next week when we continue collecting these entomological treasures! Fleacrest, Out!
Today’s song is available from iTunes – Ladybug – These Are the Good Times People
Neat idea. “Flight of the Bumblebee” is an obvious one, but for us guitar freaks the Luis Moreno version is the tops.
There’s also Pearl Jam’s “Bugs”.
Chances are you already know, but Presidents have a few others too, Bug City, Boll Weevil, Dune Buggy
