Sometimes Halloween sneaks up on you. Or you just don't get it together. Or you didn't think you were going to a party, but now you are.
So you have your Safety Costume.
Like a tolerable girlfriend that you keep going back to, or a low budget state school, you've got a costume in your back pocket that's easy to throw together at the last minute. And there are probably 1/2 dozen photos of you, wearing the same dang thing, spread across a decade (or two).
Should I be pleased or embarrassed that Gilligan is my Safety Costume, based largely on the fact that if I wear a red shirt and a white hat, I look strikingly similar to Bob Denver?
The answer is probably, embarrassed . . .

The Refreshments "Banditos"
Here's another Weekend Post:
In conjunction with yesterday's post . . . here's another band that had a fun 90s alternative Power Pop hit, but is more likely financially secure because they gave some of their music to a humble TV series, which turned out to be a 10 Year long, and now-forever-in-syndication hit. Even though it's an instrumental, I but you can sing the theme song to "King Of The Hill."
But I always thought "Banditos" was clever enough to have a longer life than it ever did . . .
See the video on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.
Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show. They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are wonderful to revisit.

"My Name Is Earl" Theme Song
Ending the All Earl Weekend posts . . .
Did you know the TV Show "My Name Is Earl" had a theme song? Yeah, there's the little Jason Lee narration over a music bed, but that bed is adapted from an actual song by Nescobar-A-Lop-Lop and the Camden County Band.
Well, now you know.
The Full Song:
With "Earl's" narration:
