"Casper" by Daniel Johnston

Song: Casper
Artist: Daniel Johnston
Album: Yip/Jump Music
Also try:  the rest of the Kids soundtrack, Songs in the Key of Z
Commentary: The other Casper song (besides the friendly ghost) that Daniel Johnston contributed to Kids is this one, "Casper." It's a 1995 movie about what everyone was afraid of happening to "youth" in the city. Adding to a dope soundtrack, Daniel Johnston sings this little ditty about one of the main characters. With lyrics like "Casper lives in a world without promise" and "feeling like a bowl of spaghetti", Daniel Johnston paints his own picture of youthful angst and ennui.
