Welp. Tag tagged by @justplaggin for the game
rules: spell out your name or url with songs

19 songs...and I tried to find ones that I genuinely enjoy right now (RIP to me making this challenge harder), so hence, the above mostly-Japanese-dominated list.

okay, so. eiffel likes music. i like to make lists about eiffel. i wanted to make a list of (at least most of) the songs/bands he references, particularly the ones he directly says he likes. there aren't really a whole lot of surprising revelations here, but if you would also like an overview of eiffel's music taste, well. here it is.
- ep 2: "... while humming 'mercedes benz' by the immortal janis joplin!"
- ep 4: "everything's gimme shelter out here."
↳ song by the rolling stones
- ep 6: "unless you leave out 'anarchy in the UK', that would be mathematically unsound."
↳ song by the sex pistols
- ep 9: "riders on the storm, man. riders on the storm."
↳ song by the doors
- ep 11: "ground control to major tom, is your circuit dead, there's something wrong. here i am, floating in a tin can..."
↳ space oddity, song by david bowie
- ep 20: MINKOWSKI: “because you are you and he is he and i am me and we are all together. / EIFFEL: “goo goo g'joob?”
↳ i am the walrus, song by the beatles
- ep 27: “yo, copernicus! look out the window and smell the joni mitchell”
↳ referencing her album, blue
- ep 27: “yeah, yeah, we’re tangled up in blue. we get the picture.”
↳ song by bob dylan
- ep 30: “i’ve got my entire mental john williams discography to get through.”
↳ well, if there was going to be a composer eiffel really liked, i guess that would be the one. does suggest he has a good ear/memory for music, though.
- ep 37, 42, 61: “and let us analyze the real slim shady without a dozen french horns in the way.” / “which slim shady is the living, breathing, human version of your friend!” / “in the immortal words of slim shady: guess who’s back!”
↳ what can i even say about this. three times. i guess these songs are enough of a recognizable pop culture thing to be arguably distinct from the rest of eminem’s music, but like. three times.
- ep 47: “FOR YOU TO GET TOGETHER AND FEEL ALL RIGHT.”
↳ one love, song by bob marley. referenced by the dear listeners, but they got it from eiffel.
- ep 49: “because it’s like radiohead says: you do it to yourself, and that’s what really hurts.”
↳ lyrics from ‘just’
- ep 54: “all along the watchtower, princes kept the view, while wild women came and went, barefoot servants too”
↳ originally written by bob dylan, but the jimi hendrix version is the one most people will think of first
- ep 54: “in the immortal words of marvin gaye: let’s get it on!”
- ep 54: “you gotta check out some of the latest advancements. otis redding. zeppelin. taylor. sir mix-a-lot. i think he’s been doing some of the best scientific work of the last fifty years.”
↳ i would like to be able to give you an alternative explanation. i would like to be able to be like, well, clearly he means singer-songwriter james taylor. he means guitarist mick taylor. he doesn’t. he means taylor swift. you can feel free to suggest another artist who it would make sense to only call ‘taylor’ in this context, but first keep in mind he’s a millennial in a show written by millennials and the writers do, in fact, listen to taylor swift. i’m resigned to it.
- ep 61: pryce mentions “the first two queen albums” as an item in eiffel’s memory
he also agrees with hera that “yeah, this is nice” about the transmission in bach to the future, but doesn’t recognize the piece. further confirmed by a little night music that eiffel’s familiarity with classical music is ‘yeah, i’ve heard this somewhere’ at best. he can’t name any of it.
of the songs and artists listed here, the ones that he is directly saying he likes and/or doesn’t have some clear contextual reason to reference are: ‘mercedes benz’ (and janis joplin in general), ‘anarchy in the uk’, john williams, ‘all along the watchtower’, otis redding, led zeppelin, taylor (swift? i guess?), sir mix-a-lot.
that said, i think you can safely assume he likes pretty much all of these things. they occupy some space in his mind, anyway. so what conclusions can you draw from that? uhh. well. he mostly likes classic rock? he’s a guy who still listens to the radio? he has, all things considered, incredibly normal taste?
none of that is really news, but there you go.
