Canary in a Coal Mine

Banana in a Pajama

Canary in a Coalmine by The Police

This track was written by Sting, clearly calling out people (or maybe a specific person?) who refuse to go with the flow.

We all know someone(s) like this.

You just want to shake them and yell, "Why does it matter!?" and inject the essence of A Chill Pill straight into their bloodstream.

Send them this song. No context, just text it to them. Or post it on their wall.

Trust me, it's a great idea.

Anyway, this is a nice jam. The lyrics craft a very specific message and repeat it over and over again which a) drives home the point and b) makes it really easy to sing along. The melody is catchy and simple, and the guitar is funky fresh.

What more can I say? '80s rock is just so much fun, man.
