104 Songs #14 – “Jimmy Olsen’s Blues”

Jerry Seinfeld called me up and asked me to make it “Man of Steel” week at “104 Songs” which coincided nicely with the barrage of Spin Doctors requests from the fan club.

So here’s song #14 “Jimmy Olsen’s Blues” by the Spin Doctors (from their fine record Pocketful of Kryptonite, which produced a couple of songs that you may have heard once or twice in the 90′s such as the severely under-played Two Princes <– that’s a YouTube of the video, I dare you to watch it! )

Thanks for the comments, Jim. No one really requested the Spin Doctors…I was just joking, that band is always ripe for making fun of, especially their song “Two Princes”, so I was just being sarcastic when I said that people were *begging* me to play the Spin Doctors (but I really do like this song!)
