Ladies, N: Natalie Merchant

Song: "Carnival"
From the album Tigerlily

Joanna Newsom:   Web site   Wiki

DJ comments: I started with a Joanna Newsom song, but had to go to Natalie Merchant. In 1993, the lead vocalist for 10,000 Maniacs left her band to pursue what would be a very successful music career. This song is off her first solo album.

This song defines a particular time in my life -- one filled with Duckman, Goosebumps and Waukon's giant, rectangular swimming pool. Ah, to be young again and not have to pay my health insurance. — BJ
