The Way

I was visiting Diary of a Square-Toothed Girl just now and Lisa was asking for suggestions for summer tuneage and I was reminded of one of my favourite summer songs.

The Way is a weirdly addictive one-hit wonder by an obscure band called Fastball that speaks of people leaving their homes and kids behind in a quest for "eternal summer slacking."

Part retro drive-in dandy, part Rocky Horror, the tune has a chorus that makes me want to put the pedal to the medal on the open road, leaving all my worries in a cloud of raucous dust. I probably would not leave my kids behind ... probably... depends on how they were getting along as the key to freedom slid into the ignition.

Here. Have some summer weirdness, and enjoy the ride.
