This is the 22nd song in the Play It Again Mayhem series, which began in 2020. Check out the previous entries along with this new one in the Play It Again Mayhem Spotify Playlist click here to take a listen! So far, 15 of the 22 songs are from the 1970s. But this one was released in 2001, so incredibly modern, right? The song is “Buck Rogers” by Feeder. It reached number 5 in the UK chart and went to the top of the Indie chart. The reason I have selected this one, apart from the fact that it is a great song that we don’t seem to hear very often, follows a recent conversation with my son Luke. We were in a restaurant and the song came on in the background. We both immediately identified it as Feeder but couldn’t remember the title. In my all-knowing wisdom and a brain full of music trivia, I said that the title is not in the lyrics and that the song was named after a car! How wrong was I with that? I certainly managed to send me and Luke down a rabbit hole looking for cars that might give a befitting title to such a great song. Luke was the first to find the true title and suggested that if I say anything with enough conviction it is, at least initially believable. Maybe I should go into politics, don’t worry I am not planning that! Anyway, this song was really chosen by me, my son, and Mr Rogers from the 25th Century!
