Song of the Day-Ceiling Fan In My Spoon

"Ceiling Fan In My Spoon" is the penultimate track from probably the best known and best selling and probably just best album by Evan Dando and the Lemonheads. "It's A Shame About Ray" is the album that was released twice as the original pressings did not contain their extremely popular version of the Paul Simon nugget "Mrs. Robinson." The Lemonheads were so popular at the time of this album's release that Dando was named to People' Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list.

The track was a little high-energy punk blast that showed more than a little Ramone's influence. Dando admitted later on that he wrote the song while high, presumably while staring at a reflection of a ceiling fan in a spoon on his table. It was unclear whether the spoon contained sugar, Cream of Wheat or some other substance.
