This weeks song is in honor of everyone who:
Are ...sitting on this bar stool,Talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew.
And given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew.
Yes, I'm talking about Styx and their song 'Too Much Time On My Hands'. An anthem for the rich trust fund babies in Newport Beach who have too much money and time to deal with and just plain old lazy slackers everywhere.
I think the song says it all:
History:
"Too Much Time on My Hands" is the second single released from Styx's 1981 triple-platinum album Paradise Theatre. It was written and sung by Tommy Shaw, who also plays the lead guitar solo during the break in the song. The inspiration for its lyrics came from Shaw's experiences in a bar in Niles, Michigan, U.S.
It reached #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 1981, No. 2 on the Top Rock Tracks chart, and No. 4 on the RPM Top Singles chart of Canada.
Here is your bonus video:
Styx released Paradise Theatre, a concept album that became their biggest hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard pop albums chart and yielding five singles, including the top ten hits "The Best of Times" by DeYoung (No. 3) and "Too Much Time on My Hands" by Shaw (No. 9), his only top 10 single as a member of the band. Paradise Theatre became the band's fourth consecutive multi-platinum album.
Throughout the 1980s, the band would open their shows with "Rockin' the Paradise", the opening track from Paradise Theatre which charted at No. 8 on the Top Rocks Track Chart and whose music video would be among the first to air on the MTV cable channel.
