PICK OF THE WEEK: Bumble Bee - Heavy Trash

You probably don’t know this about me, but I love bumble bees. There is something that I find so wonderful about this animal that even though it has a stinger, it’s funny enough to be named “bumble.” While people are terrified of other members of the bee family like the yellow jacket, everyone loves a bumble bee! They’re the English bulldog of the insect kingdom with their soft, round body, but if you piss it off it will still sting the shit out of you.

And that’s why I love the song “Bumble Bee” by Heavy Trash. Heavy Trash plays that old school rock and roll that I love, but have enough sense of humor to write a song like “Bumble Bee.” It’s a heartbroken love song, but instead of claiming his ex has a “heart of ice” or some other such dreck, he compares her to a “a bumble bee, an evil bumble bee.” It’s a rock song, but it’s a rock song that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If bumble bees could play instruments, they would probably write a song like this.
