submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#24 “The Want of a Nail (from Camp),” Company (Decca/UMG Soundtracks)
Amazingly, the second Todd Rundgren cover on my list, this one a transforming take on his “Want of a Nail” by the entire Company of Camp. The kids imbue his song about how one little thing can, frankly, fuck it all up (if you let it), with a youthful innocence which is simultaneously knowing, in a way only teens can pull off. And their joy is utterly infectious, unless you’re a pigfucker.
