Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
TV On The Radio - "Mr. Grieves"

My wife = rocks like an avalanche
No wonder she likes the Raydio Schmaydio mixed tapes - she's got ears.
All that and modest too, huh?
All that and modest too, huh?
I'm the most modest cocksucker you ever saw!
Though, I meant "ears" in the jazz sense of somebody with open ears or eclectic taste. And the Schmaydio mixes are very eclectic.
I've noticed, babe. Whenever I've put mine on, my mother has said "Your friend Hec's a little strange, huh?" The Christmas tape helped her feel the love, and I'm fairly certain the soul mix will earn you a shrine.
This might be my favorite one because of the opening 1-2 punch. (Though Jon referred to Ken Nordine as "that bad poet.") This one has the following recurring motifs: Musicals, Monkeys, Poetry, Black on White/White on Black and Faux Bands.

My mom thought there was...a code,or a punchline or something in it. We don't really need subliminal left-wing messages, after all.
And the Schmaydio mixes are very eclectic.
So very true.
Update:
Though Jon referred to Ken Nordine as "that bad poet."
Oh, I didn't mean "bad". I meant "baaaaad".
No. I lied. I meant bad.
But what about the WordJazz and the bippity-boppity-boo and such?
