What: Alt-rock band Eels made a minor alt-rock splash in the late '90s with "Novocaine for the Soul," the lead single off their debut album.
Representative lyrics:
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Connections to previous Wreckage: "Novocaine for the Soul" has popped up in multiple films and tv shows, including the astoundingly good My Mad Fat Diary, which was Rec. #283. (I first heard the song during the 1996 movie Dream for an Insomniac, which is a sentimental favorite of mine. And which, incidentally, has a really, really good soundtrack.)
For another example of Eels singing about things I want, check out Rec. #568: Friendly Ghost.
