Song of the Day - Soup Dragons

Today's song is "I'm Free" by the Soup Dragons, which I just learned is a cover from a Rolling Stones song.  Who knew?  Does everyone remember this song?

"I'm free... to do what I want.... any old time..."
"I say love me... hold me.. cause I'm free."

Here's the video as a refresher.  But the video is really stupid and obviously very low budget.



I remember long ago, probably in 1990 when the song came out, it was the last day of school and a friend of mine and I thought this was the perfect song to describe the feeling.

But I guess the freedom's been good for me these past few weeks.  I haven't taken any time off like this since I started working.  Even when I switched jobs, I left on Friday and showed up at the new company on Monday.  I think I'm supposed to learn something about myself during this time, but I don't really know if I have, but I at least feel good that I'm not totally mopey, like the guy in 500 Days of Summer who was in bed for days after quitting his job. 

Incidentally, I feel like the Soup Dragons other hit "Divine Thing" would be a really good song for Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
