Thanks for posting that other Weezer song, Rod. I only knew their song ‘Buddy Holly’, but will definitely check them out, after listening to ‘Island in the Sun’.

Buddy Holly by Weezer

This has a superb music video, to boot.

New Year’s Day by U2

This has the memorable lyric: ‘And so we’re told this is the golden age
‘And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
‘Though I want to be with you
‘Be with you night and day
‘Nothing changes
‘On New Year’s Day’

It’s good to know other people are listening to these songs, and I’m not just posting them for myself.

Brown-Eyed Handsome Man – Buddy Holly (originally by Chuck Berry)

Best lyric: Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her hand. She lost both her arms in a wrestling match to meet a brown-eyed handsome man. She went and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man.

Here’s a great scene from a Bug’s Life that shows the illusion of power:
