    Pearl and the Beard are deliciously good. I've never seen anyone rock a cello like Emily can.

    Looking at it from a record sales standpoint, or public notoriety.

    Item: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" Arguably, zombies and werewolfs (MJ's) character were great inspirations here for the imaging of the song. The video was as integral a part of the song's presentation and marketing that it is impossible to separate from the interpretation of the song.

    Very arguably...Zombies win! Hands down. No other track cited today can compare with this song's success or pervasiveness.

    My soul is still weary.

    It's a metaphor, John.... Pearl.... Beard.

    This is SO MUCH BETTER than that noisy woman you had on yesterday.

    I am downloading Pearl and the Beard as we speak!
