The Replacements - Alex Chilton free for downloading

Love these guys. Listened to it regularly during my separation. Kept my spirits up while it lasted. Thx guys.

Brilliant song and band about another brilliant band and singer. They don't make'em anymore like this. sigh.

Westerberg and the boys along with Bob Mould's Husker Du were great examples of the MN music scene back in the late '80s.  I saw the Replacements in Tuscaloosa AL back in '90 on one of their college tours, great show that lasted about 90 to 100 minutes with open seating so the fraternity boys turned an area of Coleman Coliseum in front of the stage into a slam dance/mosh pit; interesting to watch from the Mezzanine....  The Replacements also played a venue toward downtown called the Chukker a couple of times before they played at the U, I think one time back to back with the Indigo Girls of all bands; talk about a contrast in Indie Rock; the Replacements with their punk roots and the Indigo gal;s with their folk rock sound out of the ATL suburbs.  All great concerts.  There is simply no replacing bands like the Replacements!  Nothing in this era of Indie/Alternative rock can come close to their sound! Thanks for posting this!

R.I.P. Alex Chilton...Box Tops singer and the founding father of American power pop.

America 's finest band

Good bye Alex. We'll miss you - From Pasadena, CA

"What's that song, I'm in love with that song"... This basically talks about ALL Replacements songs the first time u hear em

this might be the best homage in existence

I'm in Love with Paul Westerberg ♥

One of the best American bands of all time made a song about the leader of another one of the greatest American bands.

Wow, this is really good.

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon? If he was from Mars, then that'd be cool Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round They sing, "I'm in love What's that song? Yeah, I'm in love With that song" So we will rape and pillage in a village of his choice Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's Place And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round and 'round They sing, "I'm in love What's that song? Oh, I'm in love With that song I never travel far Without a little Big Star Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Louse and tarot cards Falling asleep with a flop pop video on And if he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe And children by the million wait for Alex Chilton And come around 'round They sing, "I'm in love what's that song? I'm in love With that song I'm in love What's that song? Yeah, I'm in love, with that song?" Oh Come on

80s children by the millions mourn for alex chilton -- RIP ;_;

children by the millions scream for Alex Chilton....

I want to share this story on this song, please, just I need to do it for my own well being. My favorite teacher in all of my highschool career passed away today. He was so into music, it was almost a disease. He played this song the first day of my junior year, and I was drumming it along on my desk and he was in absolute shock that I knew it. From that day, every day, I was known as "Alex." in the halls, in class, all around. My real name is Richard. Rest in peace, Mr. Karoly.

Hadn't known this band until just recently when I saw a Billie Joe (Green Day) interview, in which he cited them as one of his early inspirations. Amazing song! Gotta love the intro riff!

I was fortunate enough to have met Alex Chilton in Tallahassee in 1981

this song is so damn great
