Mountain Clams

How did you find this?

I was having a major brain cramp, trying to remember the name of a band. It's an older band - 80's some time. Their lead singer died, and the remaining members made another band that I really like. It's not coming to me! It doesn't help that I'm listening to another band that reminds me of them but isn't - tatu's remake of the Smiths How Soon Is Now. It's just enough to throw me off. How do you find a band when you can't remember what they sang? Okay, turning off the music, opening a web browser. Hello, Google. Think, think, think. Oh! Another band covered one of their songs! Who was it... Oh, yeah - Orgy! Do a web search on Orgy!

Common sense stayed my hand from running that particular web search while sitting at my desk at work.

Instead, I appended "lyrics" to the search. Lo and behold! Orgy covered Blue Monday, originally by New Order, the band made up of the surviving members of Joy Division. Voila!
