THE BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

To compliment my recently completed ‘1000 BEST SONGS LIST,’ here is another that just missed the cut.

1018-Elastica-Connection.
1994-Number 17 single.
Best Bit-At 0.19.If you blatantly copy chunks of other peoples songs, you will have to pay the price in royalties.
Elastica were often accused of plagiarising the work of others,but that should not detract from what they added to the music scene,over the course of just two studio Albums.
The opening riff for this song is obviously very heavily influenced by the 1977 song ‘Three Girl Rhumba,’ by the critically acclaimed Punk Rock group Wire,a judgement resulted in an out of court settlement between both parties.
Elastica were formed in 1992 by ex-Suede band members Justine Frischmann, and Justin Welch.’Connection’ was written by Frischmann, who has never discussed the songs true meaning,but it’s theme is of giving something up, in order to form a connection.This can be interpreted as sacrificing your musical ambitions, in order to sustain a personal, or professional relationship.
The song may sound familiar to many, as it was used as the opening theme to the TV programme ‘Trigger Happy TV,’ which ran between 2000-2003, on Channel 4.
‘I don’t understand how a heart is a spade,but somehow the vital connection is made.’
