Taj Mahal vs. Harry Nilsson
"Think" by Taj Mahal, from Senor Blues (1997)
Blues master gets his funk on in the sun through much of the Senor Blues album, this track being no different. A classic soul blues bounce with squealing horns, an Aretha-inspired hook and lyrical pleas and protestations of devotion from the Taj himself. This is one you can skip too and still feel ok about it.
"Coconut" by Harry Nilsson, from Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)
Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together. Can you really argue with the advice given in this song? Even if it makes no sense, it sure sounds tasty. This track guarantees a laugh, and Nilsson, a seriously overlooked artist, yelps and crows along with the cowbells and snare hits in a hilarious crescendo before the fade out. Now don't you feel better?
THE WINNER: Call the doctor. Wake him up. It's Nilsson.
