Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

This is a Melanie song?

I have to admit, the only version I've ever heard is by Rasputina. Assuming we're talking about the same song, which I think we are.

Thanks, Sean, I'd forgotten that verse entirely.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Ugh. 97 degrees here in Boston. It's supposed to get back into the 60s tonight, but I'm not buying it yet.

Oh well - if the humidity is to be believed, it's a dry heat. Feh.

What is even happening?

I saw that Rasputina covered it, when I was googling. I think I have to hear that version.

He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before
Oooh, THAT way.
Oh, everyone cut it out. They didn't mean that.

I don't know. I thought there was NO air, when I went outside (against my will) earlier. But a little while ago, I let Chris back out, because he'd left his hobby horse and cowboy hat in the yard. As opposed to the deathly, heavy air this morning, there's quite a breeze now. This might be an actual instance of what I think of as the mythical dry heat.

Then again, at 97, it still sucks. Ovens have dry heat, too.

Perzactly. Not going out until I'm leaving, and, luckily I've got a thing with friends that will keep me in AC for a while (once I get there).

I just hope closing up my place in Salem when it was 76 this morning has kept it a bit cooler then the outside temp.

You know, the liner notes to some blues album I used to have implied that the line "Pig meat is what I crave" was dirty dirty dirty. I've never understood what it was supposed to mean.

I always liked "If You See Kay" because she was "Built up like a Coca-Cola bottle".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The original S&M one with people in cages or the boring light show one?

That would explain it. The light show one was on all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They didn't mean that.

Of course not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The original video for "Relax" is...something.

So since we're on lyrics, what is the point of "Don't Cha"? I mean, as far as I can tell, the point of the song is to convince you that the girl singing it is a sexual pervert who likes to rhyme "fine" with "lying" and "blind".
