Diamond/Detours
"but I blew up our love nest, by making one little request..."
"Diamond Ring", from Sheryl Crow's Detours album, 2008.

Der Kommissar - After the Fire
I've got both that version and the Falco version, because some days I just need to kick back and listen to Falco being unintelligible in multiple languages.
But yeah, all I've got in range is "Devil Went Down to Georgia". Which, of course, brings me to "Thirty-Nine Questions for Charlie Daniels", including my favorite: "2) [Isn't] that totally amazing fiddle feedback thing the Devil plays (which sounds like Hendrix gone bluegrass) a hundred times better than that high-school-band piece-of-crap tune Johnny plays?"

"Diamond Ring", from Sheryl Crow's Detours album, 2008.
I haven't bought any of her albums since The Globe Sessions. I've heard a couple of her newer songs, but something seemed to be missing in the lyrics. I do know that searching was a dominant theme in her earlier work. Also, "Strong Enough" seems to be about someone who is emotionally unstable. Did anyone else get that impression?

"Detour Ahead" - Bill Evans
"Detroit Rock City" - Kiss
"Deuce" - Kiss
"A Deus dos Orixas" - Clara Nunes
"The Devil's Chasing Me" - Reverend Horton Heat
"Devil's Dance Floor" - Flogging Molly
"Devil's Right Hand" - Johnny Cash
"Devil Doll" - Roy Orbison
"Devil Doll" - X
"Devil in her Heart" - The Beatles
"Devil with the Green Eyes" - Matthew Sweet
"Dewey Square" - Charlie Parker
"Dia 36" - Os Mutantes
"Diamonds and Gold" - Tom Waits
My favorite here would be the X cut. X is probably the most underappreciated band from the late 70s. They were great, and are still very cool live.
I wish I had "Deus" by the Sugarcubes - a great song I'll have to put on my iPod tonight.
"Detroit Rock City" is on my iPod because it was a song my first band in high school covered. I have no good explanation for why "Deuce" is on my iPod.

I have just discovered that posting in Swedish (or is that Norwegian?) causes LB Fridays to appear! This will save me so much time in the near future.
Posted by: rm | May 09, 2008 at 02:10 PM
Devil Woman -- Marty Robbins
Not to be confused with the Cliff Richard song by the same name.
I've got both that version and the Falco version, because some days I just need to kick back and listen to Falco being unintelligible in multiple languages.
I just read that "kommissar" translates to "police captain." All these years I thought the song was about a Communist Party official.

Come on. Detachable Penis is a late 80s college radio classic. Maybe not as good as Jesus was way cool but it's close.

Just missed "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" which I have in no less than four versions. I must like that song.
