Jayson Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Anyone else think Leroy kind of looked like Toby from The Office in this video? You and I need to get together, because oh man, I thought this exact thing. Also, Jay's coat is ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Why Secret of the Sea, of all songs. Why are you hating on Secret of the Sea? I hesitated to bring this up because I didn't want to unleash a patented SS tounglashing that is sure to come, but I really want to know. Personally, I find it charming and tuneful. Musically, a trip through 40 years of pop music. Simple lyrics with no deep message. Not every song has to be an earthshaking tour de force. There's something to be said for playful, tuneful pop. Even a gourmet chef likes a ham sandwich every now and then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Why Secret of the Sea, of all songs.Song length may have been a factor as ususually an act is granted no more than 4 minutes to perform on tv talk shows; plus it's catchy and the casual music fan may look into buying the album if they give them a hook.

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I like Secret of the Sea, but I think it was PigSooie that once said that it sounds like the soundtrack to a chewing gum ad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 we would have loved it if they did Mountain bed, but the casual viewer would have fallen asleep midway through it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I sort of was kidding with the 'of all songs' comment. It's catchy and works for a late night TV performance. But yeah, I just don't dig it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Secret of the Sea has grown on me over the years, but it does seem odd that on a record with about two or three Wilco masterpieces on it (Mountain Bed, Airline, Someday Some Morning) they went with it. That would be like them playing You Never Know on television in support of Wilco The Album... oh wait a minute. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't yet realize that the American public can never really embrace music of merit en masse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't yet realize that the American public can never really embrace music of merit en masse. It's pretty interesting to me at least, that it was only after they left Reprise, stopped making bad nineties music videos, letting David Kahn remix their singles, etc. etc. That they finally started selling records, though they're certainly not doing en masse. I have had Secret of the Sea stuck in my head since this was posted, it's an awfully catchy melody for sure. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Me too. Not a bad song - if you don't listen too closely. . Weirdly enough I told my friend John something similar about WTA: "it's great, when you don't really listen to it." --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corporate record companies get filthy rich on this concept, hence the choice of song here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
