Ooo-ooh, that smell!
On Sunday, my wife Kristen and I purchased a Kenmore air purifier from Sears and brought it home. The air quality was especially bad this past weekend, and we wanted something to aid in our breathing. But as soon as we plugged it in, it smelled like cat fart. Kristen said it best, “It kind of smelled like a cross between faint skunk smell and garbage. And garlic.”Needless to say, we returned it. On our way, in the car, we started singing That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was singing… “ooo-ooh, that nose!” however. Anyway, I can’t praise Sears enough. We were able to get a refund without any issues and they were very helpful. In short, I can’t stand their product but their customer service is amazing.
This reminds me of an old songspeak that happened with Jamie from a few years ago. I used to go to his place to watch Lost. One time I asked if I could bring takeout chinese food over while I watched… and warned that it might “smell that smell”. He replied back with, “The smell of takeout surrounds you!”

All Summer Long with the Werewolves of London in Sweet Home Alabama
I’m ashamed to admit it, but yes, I do enjoy the new single by Kid Rock, All Summer Long. The first few times it came on mix 93.1, I thought it was Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. Perhaps this is because it contains a sample from that song that runs throughout. Not only that, but the chorus is all about singing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama. AND, I swear that’s Bob Seger singing background vocals. Although maybe it’s just someone meant to sound like him. I couldn’t find a definitive answer on that when I googled the hell out of it. And I think my favorite line is about “trying different things and smoking funny things“. Oh, the good old days.
So, a song ABOUT another song (Sweet Home Alabama), with Bob Seger (possibly) singing background over a Werewolves of London sample? It doesn’t get much more songspeak than that, my friends.
