The first ever ABBA song they allowed anyone to cover, got a higher chart position and the blonde one is in the video. 5 mins of brilliance.

I'd forgotten that, they spliced her in from bits of the original video and tbf she looked pretty good in that.
 
The extra curricular side material this week seems to be engaging for a few, almost as much as the main list. Perhaps something we try not stifle in the restricted fromat, when we switch to it. On a voluntary suggestion basis.
 
For curveball Thursday....

This 90's group was one of my favorite branch-outs of that era, and often hard to categorize or find a genre they were completely home or comfortable in. Often classified under "alternative rock" or "rap-rock", they formed in 1991 and their band name was a humorous reference to former 1960s Philadelphia 76er basketball player Lucious Jackson, after they heard his name mispronounced as "Luscious" on ESPN Sportscenter.

I saw them open up for +Live+ in 1997, and they were fantastic. Bass player, lead singer, and co-founder Jill Cunniff and her bandmates hit it big with this song off of Fever In Fever Out (produced by Daniel Lanois). While the bass on it isn't Geddy Lee or Flea "hit you over the head", it is that underlying sound and beat that makes this song groove and what it was. Their music samples, uniqueness, underlying beats from their NYC roots, and overall talent make them one of a kind and a favorite of many not initially attracted to the likes of rap back during this time period.

"Naked Eye" - Luscious Jackson

("Why Do I Lie?" is one I enjoy more from that album, but the bass is more pronounced here)

I think you could stick with Why do I Lie, the bass is not insignificant in it.

I'd prefer "Why Do I Lie?", so if you are good, then so am I. I'm trying to stay true to the theme....

I'm not sure how much those here have heard "Naked Eye", probably enough? The other song was not a single, but one I enjoy more, and not just because Emmylou Harris sings backup on that track with the band.
 
Amyl and the sniffers - Hertz

This one goes out to @FogBlueInSanFran

A side observation. For songs with important bass, you need decent listening equipment. I stuck on Blondie's hanging on the telephone, which I remembered having a good bass layer, on my phone speakers earlier in the week. Could barely make it out and if I wasn't looking for it doubt I'd have noticed it. Later jammed it on again through headphones, and sure enough, there it was just as I remembered it.
