Filter: "Take a Picture"
This one and "Hey Man Nice Shot" are my two favorite Filter songs. The later because I love to listen to it to "pump up my primal manness" either before or during working out. Also, there is a common misconception concerning what the song is about. Many assumed/assume that it is about Kurt Cobain's suicide, but in fact it's about another suicide.
As for "Take a Picture?" Well, what can I say? The song has a surreal, dreamy quality to it, which is echoed in the music video as well. Recognize "Goldie" from Sin City? Also, what guy can't relate to the lyrics, "Hey dad! What do you think about your son now?"
A bit of trivia: The lead singer, Richard Patrick, is the younger brother of the T-1000.
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
I feel like new-born
And I feel like a new-born
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember - yeah
I don't believe in
I don't believe in your sanctity; or privacy
I don't believe in
I don't believe in sanctity or hypocrisy
Can everyone agree that no one should be left alone
Can everyone agree that they should not be left alone
And I feel like a new-born
And I feel like a new-born (kicking and screaming)
Could you take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you take my picture
Cuz I won't remember - yeah
Hey dad what do you think about your son now?
Hey dad what do you think about your son now?
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember
Could you wanna take my picture
Cuz I won't remember - yeah

You have totally lost me here. I know both of those songs, but neither of them hold any really strong feelings for me.
We seem to be growing apart. I hate to say this, but I think we should see other people...
Given your affinity for David Bowie, I'm not entirely sure we were ever together to begin with. ;)
Seriously though, I grew up in the 90's so a lot of music from that decade holds a special place in my heart.
I am the first to say that Bowie and Muppets is an unholy union that shouldn't be. That movie is only cool if you were a kid at the time it came out... again, your generation.
