Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand" (1996)

You may not recognize the name Primitive Radio Gods. You may not recognize this extremely long song title. But chances are you’ve heard this one before. This tune comes from the band’s 1996 debut Rocket. It remains their only hit and is sure go down as one of the best one hit wonder songs ever. It’s most noted for the sample in the chorus which borrows from B.B. King’s 1964 song “How Blue Can You Get?” Apparently the band is still together and making music, but they will probably forever live in the shadow of this song. But for me that’s OK because this song rules.
