I've always felt that way about Santa.
He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you are bad or good....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, it's a song about Bart Starr.
Huh. I always thought that it was a song about the Victorian children's game "Rings Around the Stars," which was updated and renamed "Ring-o-Star" in 1960. The commercial jingle was a hit for the Archies in 1964, then revamped by Daisy Bang in 1967.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Why? Is he unusually clever, witty and handsome?
My mother doesn't think so.
But your Ringo Starr songs explanation sounds like something he'd make up say.

Someone (I think it was Lyra Jane) mentioned liking "From A Distance". That one always cracked me up with the badness, just because the lyrics (God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, from a distance) always made God sound like a creepy stalker/peeping deity
Eh, I think I just like Bette Midler's voice. (I saw Beaches a few too many times in my formative years.) I always heard the lyrics as taking kind of a Deist view of the Universe, the idea being that God does not micromanage. But I'm probably being charitable.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What's a Ringo Starr song? He was a Beatle, right? Did he go solo afterwards?
Weeps for the youth of America.
Another no ranger is Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

I guess I should assume this is a scam of some sort?
Oh yes. Definitely a scam.

My old man is the same way. Sort of like Calvin's dad.

Oh, and on a completely different topic: Muppet Show Season One is finally going to be released on DVD!
Disney has stated that they want to make the best possible sets and it seems like they are. The project is not finished yet, but from talking with those involved, the work done will amaze, excite, and delight the fans. The DVD sets are being designed for DVD collectors, Muppet Show fans, and nostalgic viewers. So don’t worry about the show being watered down, or trying to appeal to an overly childish audience.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. ::decides to do something nice for Lyra this year::
