Season 2 Track 5: Charlemagne in Sweatpants A Positive Jam
-
- 音楽解説
Some songs they get slimy, and then they get slinky, and then they get funky. Some tracks feel like skips to some people and the best track in the band's repertoire to other people. Some songs act as a character's theme music and some reinforce stereotypes about the Holy Roman Emperor's namesakes.
All of which is to say Charlemagne in Sweatpants is a song that spurs different sentiments. The fifth track on the Hold Steady's second, breakthrough album, Separation Sunday, this is a song that deserves special attention. To tackle it, we invite Bob Bland of the Bend & Scoop podcast - https://bendandscoop.com/ - to explain the glory of tramps and sweatpants, once and for all.
