Vicky's Box for sure. Opening lines:
He won't ride in cars anymoreit reminds him of blow jobs that he's a queer and his hair stuck to the roof over the wheel

Hey guys, Bimble really wants to post in this thread but can't, so I'm posting instead. Also, I've never heard of Throwing Muses before, but because of Bimble's encouragement, I'm gonna check them out.

"I'd love to vote 'Call Me' but it's two different songs; the first one is awesome, but the second ruins everything.
wronger than 100 geir posts"
theres always this element in some of TM best songs,where they change gears and style in the middle of the song.on one hand - it makes the songs more interesting, and the other hand - sometimes i wish the hooks/verses would continue again (and again...)(call me,hook,finished...etc...)
maybe thats the reason i chose Fear - it's compressed and accurate to perfection.nothing to add or remove from it.

can't believe green only got one vote. always thought that was the casual fan's fave. or maybe it was years ago anyway. some of tanya's showstoppers definitely got more play on college radio and i wonder if this used to bum her sis out.

i always loved green cuz it reminded me of my hero jo kennedy on the starstruck soundtrack. (starstruck soundtrack being one of my top 20 albums of the 80's. along with muses debut.)

I love that song. I have a thing for girlish speak-singing like that. :)
