Ned's Atomic Dustbin -- Kill Your Television

This one's for Doug.  My first and best college roommate and I used to play this CD repeatedly (along with Nirvana's Nevermind [which had just been released] and the Best of Run DMC).  One of the tunes opens with a guy yelling, "Why don't you wake up and smell what you shovelin'?"  My roommate used to hit the beginning of that track over and over just to hear the phrase again and again while he laughed like a hyena.

I'm playing this for Doug because instead of two six-string guitars, the band has two bass guitars.  The first bass plays a somewhat typical bass line, while the second bass is playing generally a fifth higher than the first and will also occasionally play what basically amounts to a lead guitar part.

I think it's rather ironic that a song about killing your TV was made into a video for MTV.
