“Start of Something New,” Original Cast – High School Musical
I told you I live with a seven-year old girl, right? I apologize, in advance, to anybody who gets this song stuck in their heads over the weekend. I hope this makes it all better.
“Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum,” Bob Dylan
This is from Love and Theft, part of Dylan’s 21st Century trilogy. Or, rather, is it from Junichi Saga’s 1989 book Confessions of a Yakuza? Remember that whole kerfuffle? Whatever became of that? A tempest in a teapot, perhaps.
“Boys Don’t Cry," The Cure
Here’s Robert Smith doing his goofy, little Robert Smith dance.
“For Today I Am a Boy,” Antony & the Johnsons

While Boy George certainly was an influence, Marc Almond may have been an even stronger touchstone.

Here’s Arthur Lee with a 2003 incarnation of Love playing at the Glastonbury Festival.
