This is more an "easy-listening" selection than a pop song-- but if you love the sound of the harpsichord, check out "Dot's Nice . . . Donna Fight!" The singers are Rosemary Clooney and Marlene Dietrich. The arrangement is by Mitch Miller. It's, umm . . . .interesting.

I would suggest "Golden Brown," by the Stranglers. You've already got the Magnetic Fields covered, but one of the 69 Love Songs, "For We Are the King of the Boudoir" is also harpsichord-heavy, to the point of being maybe too twee.

I think there's some harpsichord action in "The Model" by Belle & Sebastian. I'm droploading it to you and you can check for yourself.

It is a harpsichord, and it fits perfectly with Belle & Sebastian's sound. Thanks Max!

Tsk tsk Matt! And you call yourself a pop music lover? You missed "Strawberry Fields Forever"! Oh the shame! And "Piggies" from the White Album! And it also appears in "All You Need is Love" and "Not Guilty". The Beatles were actually the first (as they so often were) to use a harpsichord in rock music, with their song "For No One" on Revolver. After that, here was an onslaught of the spindly instruments in recording. Didn't the Stones use one in "Paint it Black"?

Libby - unfortunately the iTunes store doesn't have much Beatles and certainly not the ones you mentioned. No '60s Rolling Stones either. Oh well. The Beatles weren't the very first to use a harpischord in pop music, but they certainly popularized it for the hipster 60s groovy musician set.

Yep, iTunes does not rule if you are a fan of the Fabs.

I mean they were first to use a harpsichord in rock music, not "pop" music. :-)

"Different Drum" by Linda Ronstadt makes great use of a harpsichord.
