Right now…”Have it your way, have it your way”. Burger King. Ugh.
“Ah for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage,
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea.
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage,
and make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
‘Rock Lobster’ by The B-52’s but only the chorus.
“Rock Lobster! …….. Rock Lobster!….. RoCK LobSter… dadad” all day.
“I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all?
It should be me, it could be me
(Is it in your mind?)
Forever, forever”
Sunrise by Simply Red
So the blame and the shame’s on you
For being so damn poor
It ain’t the banks
And it ain’t the taxes
It ain’t the pay day loans and the high rent homes
And predatory fees and practices
JD Wentworth jingle due to a post title I just scrolled past
“I got drinks, jokes, sex, and cash.. those are 4 things I can guarantee my love”
You got me!
But, I’m not sick but I’m not well …and it’s so hot cause I’m in hell.

I went on a 90s binge last week and this one won’t leave my brain
“Oh I am young but have aged.
Waited long to seize the day”

“I would fall in love with you over and over again,
I don’t care how where or when.
No matter how long it’s been your mine!”
-Would You Fall in Love with Me Again from Epic the Musical concept album (a musical interpetation of The Odyssey)
“Caught a flow and wrote the flavor, that archaeologist artist’s audio appropriator. Ghost Rider, flaming chopper, caressing the night and chasing a glimpse of a forever fading fluorescent horizon.”
“Hey, everybody, let’s have some fun;
You only live but once
And when you die you’re done;
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll;
I don’t care if you’re young or old;
Get together, let the good times roll”
Let the Good Times Roll – Koko Taylor
Weirdly, I’ve had Particle Man stuck in my head for days.
Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What’s he like, it’s not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he’s underwater, does he get wet
Or does the water wet him instead?
Nobody knows particle man

Thanks for that…lol great song.
“Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels)”- Jim Croce
Operator, well could you help me place this call
See, the number on the match book is old and faded
She’s living in L.A
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
But isn’t that the way they say it goes
Well let’s forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell ’em I’m fine, and to show
I’ve overcome the blow
That’s funny!
Because I have the same song in my head, but the original by The Four Lads.
Couldn’t think of any lyrics
No I never wrote the lyrics
So I’ll just sing any old lyrics
That come to mind, child…
‘This Song’s just Six Words Long’ – Weird Al
Enemy, enemy.
Were you wanting to know what I’m made of? This is me, this is me. Make a grave for the girl that I once was. Bloody teeth, bloody teeth, come to me, come to me, come to me.
“When i make love, i don’t just make love, I be…..!!!!! Yeah, that’s what I be doing, I be…..!!!!”

Jeremiah was a bullfrog! Was a good friend of mine. Never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine!
Toes all in the sand, come and walk with me
Love the way you take the stress and Louis off of me

White girls. By mighty Casey
Idk why. I woke up the other day and it was stuck in my head for a few days
You don’t have to go with me if you don’t wanna, just tell everyone I’m your guy.
“So, I see this guy, Marty, carrying a big old sofa up the stairs. So I asked him, ‘Hey! Do you want any help with that?’ Marty just rolls his eyes and says, “NoOOooO. I want you to cut off my arms & legs with a chainsaw.’
So I did.”
Albuquerque – Weird Al
…I wanna talk about but then I’d be late for work. If you say wait a minute who we got to stop this!?…
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Excuse me, wtf? Constantinople is currently running through my head, in addition to
Ra, Ra, Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen!
I’ve had three at the same time for the past couple hours, and they’re weirdly good together.
Zing Boom!!
The sky up above-
Zing Boom!!
Is caving in-
Wow Bam!!

Thunder bolts and lightning, very very frightening!!

And you are a garden,
Entwined with all…
You are the silence,
On sacred shores…
‘Cause I’m too messy, and then I’m too fucking clean
You told me, “Get a job,” then you ask where the hell I’ve been
And I’m too perfect, ’til I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
If you’re feeling down, depressed, and lonely, I know a place where we can go…
Iron Maiden – 22 Acacia Avenue
Butterfly in the sky…..
Bet
is hardly shown
Scraped
Across the foam
Like they stole it
And, oh, how they hold it
Claire, we nearly forfeit.

“Hurry, don’t be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we’re old
We’ll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing”
Reminiscing-Little River Band
The water’s at your neck
There’s lightning in your teeth
Your body’s over me
Baby shark doo doo doo🫢.
Kidding, Man-eater.. whoa oh here she comes she’s a Man-eater this all because of a game I was playing and the monster I was fighting was called a flesh eater. Sigh
today this could be the greatest day of our lives
before it all ends, before we run out of time

stay close to me (hold on hold on)

Stay close to me… shine the

Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won’t be weeping long
Father, why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son
Oh, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet… to come
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won’t be weeping long
Oh father, tell me are you weeping?
Your face seems wet to touch
Oh, then I’m so sorry, father
I never thought I hurt you so much
This is a weeping song
Nick Cave

The video is pretty silly, but I love the song.
“Thirty thousand pounds of bananas”
When you play at this level, it’s no ordinary venue
It’s Iceland—or the Philippines—or Hastings—
Or this place!
We are strong
No one can tell us we’re wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
Not quite a year since she went away,
Rosanna, yeah
Now she’s gone and I have to say….
I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we’ve no idea what we’ve got
Until we lose it
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don’t choose it
And I don’t know what’s got its teeth in me
But I’m about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence
Take Me Back To Eden

> Steve, le… (Pwaaaaaaah~)

> Il a des bras…et des jambes.

I don’t even speak French; I don’t know why this song showed up in my feed but I love it so much. It’s just called “Steve Le Poisson” I think.
“Bonnie and Clyde it!” – Hot by Le Sserafim
Concrete Blonde – Caroline
Like a sad hallucination
When I opened up my eyes
The train had passed the station
And you were trapped inside
Yet I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why
I wonder why
Strangely enough I only just discovered
“But you didn’t have to CUTTT ME OFF
Make out like it nevahappenedandthatwewerrrenothing”
Also Haley Reinhart’s rendition of Creep by Radiohead posted by PostModern Jukebox is amaaaaazing.

I have a toddler
No, no, no, no, I can’t take it no more,
I’m tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door.
The No No Song by Ringo Starr
Adieu, Adieu
Love you. And you?
