Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Eurythmics. "Right By Your Side."

Mmmmmmmm.

I can't even.

Wasn't it "dead babies just come with the scenery"? That's how I always heard it in my head, but I've been known to jump to darkest interpretation.

A quick google confirms my version, but it isn't like Chrissie doesn't open the songs up for some misheard magic (see: Brass in Pocket).

best Eurythmics song evah

My favourite song of theirs was Missionary Man, but I think that was after Annie went "solo"?

Eurythmics (and any Annie Lennox in general) will forever remind me of sauteed mushrooms and cheese on toasted bread. Which is really funny. But it is a fond memory.

(Staple lunch when I was in Prague. Roommate and I played those cds a whole helluva lot, partly to drive the suitemate from hell away. That and the Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It only took 2 months until she essentially vacated.)

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Also? I hated the Eurhythmics.

I say good day to you, Topic!Cindy!

(How do you feel about Annie Lennox solo?)

(Quite fond of "Lifted" off of Peace, myself.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is a neat idea -- recipes shared on Flickr.

Because books.

Annie Lenox solo is brilliant. I can listen to "Why" forever.

And I am now earwormed with "Sweet dreams are made of cheese..."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

What timeframe of your life are you supposed to become attached to the music of? When you're growing up or as a teenager? I'm assuming it's the latter, because I hated the music of the 80s for the most part and listened to talk radio. I didn't start caring about music until I heard Pearl Jam play on The Tonight Show (or Letterman or something like that) and suddenly went "Oh my God, that kicks ass."

I was teenager in the 80s, but I can't say I'm real attached to 80s music.

For the most part, the only music from the 80s I like came from bands who either started in the 70s and just continued on into the 80s and/or managed to survive past the 80s. Just about anything that is distinctly 80s does not appeal to me in the slightest.

Because books.

I've loved music since I was a kid -- like, in elementary school. The first album I bought with my allowance money was Fleetwood Mac's Rumors.

I have an unnatural fondness for bad late '70s pop and one-hit wonders ("Brandy," anyone?) but I don't like a lot of music from the '80s, when I was in high school. U2, yeah, and REM, but not a lot more than that, unless I'm forgetting some.
