Also known as that “kinda odd, Turkish/reggae song off of 'The Lodger' with the title that sorta-but-not-quite means 'Long Life' that isn’t megastadium-tour-greatest-hits-popular, but still plenty good enough that you wish that someone on the damned radio machine would once in a while play something like this and not 'Cat People' or effing 'Golden Years' every damned time they have to drop in a Bowie, even though those are both pretty fine songs too and I don’t know of you remember but "Golden Years" was also the theme song to a weird little teevee series that starred a young Felicity Huffman, back in, damn, 1991? 18 years ago? Can that be right? That children conceived during that show's pilot (Plot: Old guard at a secret lab is doused with chemicals that make him age backwards.) are old enough to be out somewhere on a date tonight, watching ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ (Plot: Old Brad Pitt is doused with CGI that makes him age backwards.) and have never heard ‘Yassassin?’” song.
Well we can’t have that, now can we?
