All things considered, it’s possible that this might be the song of the year for 2026.

Music Video of the Day: I Can’t Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar (1984, dir by Gil Bettman)
52 years ago, on a date that will live in infamy, President Richard Nixon signed into law the national speed limit of 55 Miles Per Hour. Though the law was later repealed, the scourge of the speed limit continues.
Though this song is just a little before my time, it still feels like it was specifically recorded just for me. I have always considered traffic laws, not just the laws themselves but the way they are enforced, to be the epitome of everything that can go wrong when people blindly respect authority.
As for the video, it also feels like it was specifically filmed for me. It’s actually a fun little video with a sense of humor and who hasn’t wanted to tell a traffic judge what he can do with his gavel?
Enjoy!
Song of the Day: Leave Home by The Chemical Brothers
With 2025 soon to be forgotten, now seems like a good time to share one of my favorite songs from The Chemical Brothers.

Song of the Day: We Are One By Lydia
When the infamous epic Caligula was first released back in 1979, a disco version of Caligula’s love theme — We Are One — was also released as a promotional gimmick.
This song is so over-the-top, so blatantly exploitive, so insidiously catchy, and so totally inappropriate for so many reasons that become clear after you watch the film it was written for that it simply cannot be ignored. To me, this song represents everything that makes the Grindhouse great.
(As well, I hope whoever was playing bass got paid extra…)
Music Video of the Day: Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston (1977, dir by ????)
The year is nearly done and we need disco!
Enjoy!

Today’s song of the day is the orchestral theme from the 1953 sci-fi classic, War of the Worlds.
Song of the Day: Hooray for Santa Claus by Milton DeLugg and the Little Eskimos
Did everyone have a good Christmas? Did everyone get everything that they wanted?
If the answer’s yes, you have one man to thank for that!
Hooray for Santy Claus!
(You might recognize this song from one of our favorite holiday classics, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians!)
