Guilty Pleasures for Humpday ~ Don’t Mess With Texas


Whenever I hear this song, I think about my college years. Specifically driving down Highway 13 from Northland to downtown, passing by the bank. Mostly because it was there, by the bank, that I first heard Sharleen Spiteri sing the Marvin Gaye-like line “when I get that feeling…”.

It makes me feel guilty as I get "that feeling" listening to this song.

Nothing to feel guilty about. You know the "Halo" video by Texas. Pure Wang Kar-Wai inspired genius.

Man my wife absolutely loves this band. Huge in England where she first heard them.

I've loved this band since '89 - never know really what on earth she's singing about, but bloody hell, with that voice, who cares?
