"Hey, Siri, what is Rolling Stone's 372nd greatest song of all time?"
"'Marquee Moon,' by Television."
"How high on the Billboard charts did it go?"
"'Marquee Moon,' by Television, was never released as a single and was never listed on any airplay or sales chart."
"Did Rolling Stone give any reason for why they put it on the Greatest Songs list?"
"Not at all. Here's the blurb they connected to it: "Marquee Moon" is Television's guitar epic, stretching out for ten minutes of urban paranoia. "I would play until something happened," Verlaine said."
As if "urban paranoia" wasn't enough to keep me from even listening to this, the first line of the oft-repeated chorus puts a kink in my colon:
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The nicest thought this brings to mind is that a bee accidentally sucked up lemonade instead of honey.
Ewww...
