Cool stuff from a new duo out of NYC. I knew I liked this song and group after the first 5 seconds. Listen to loud and audaciously.
More to come on SoDA and hopefully more to come from this band.
Dedicated to CJ for enlightening me.
Album: Achtung Baby
Released: 1991
Theme: alternative rock
This song kinda came to me as I was on the computer.
The lyrics were inspired by a surrealistic story about Berlin from World War II that lead vocalist Bono heard, when overnight bombing damaged the zoo and allowed animals to escape and wander around the city's rubble. Although a stretch, this could be tie to July 4th.

Album: Hyæna
Released: 1984
Theme: surreal 80's
I didn't know that this song was a cover version of The Beatles 'Dear Prudence' (I like Siouxsie's better). It became their biggest hit, reaching number 3 in the UK.
I like the song because is exudes a surreal feel.
