From Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born"
linky (http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?ID=1774)
48. Monkey Gone to Heaven
Pixies [1989]
Feral Boston quartet invents the grunge ballad.

It’s a mighty eccentric formula for a hit: a spoken rant (except for its five-word chorus) about an “underwater guy” getting killed by tons of sludge, which becomes a frothing-at-the-mouth rant about cosmology, theology and numerology, accompanied by a pounding rock band and a string quartet. The reason “Monkey Gone to Heaven” works is that it acts as if it’s a perfectly respectable pop song—singer Black Francis calls for Joey Santiago’s string-torturing solo with a “Rock me, Joe,” the howling riff is accompanied by little plinky synthesizers and bassist Kim Deal (in her pre-Breeders days) sings “this monkey’s gone to heaven” like a come-on. Plenty of alt-rock bands copped the Pixies’ ideas during their 11-year break, but few devised anything this majestically bizarre.

soft marching beat drums, with some cool picking over a descending baseline. Really cool tune. It's not really about a place, but close enough, and it fits today's weather.

JoeMama posted a Jason Schwartzman song a few weeks ago. Here's his first band, that's him on drums. OC be damned it was a ****ing good song, and somebody should cut off Paul Schaffer's hands.
