Song of the Day: The Feelies “Fame”

Today’s song is one which (to the best of my knowledge) has never been released on vinyl or CD. In 1986 the movie “Something Wild” starring Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Liotta was released to widespread acclaim. One of the best things the movie had going for it was a stellar soundtrack put together by the director Jonathan Demme. In one of the key scenes of the movie Griffith and Daniels go to a high school reunion where the band happens to be the Feelies (incognito of course).

The Feelies, one of the finest bands to ever emerge from New Jersey, launch into a great version of the David Bowie classic below (Would LOVE to have a vinyl version of this song! Anyone?):
