So open up your morning light,
and say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every eye...oh man. And she rhymed 'I' with 'eye'. That almost bugs me more.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I only had a brain...
This is a song, la la la la
Elmo's song.
That is a GOOD song. And why? Because I sang it "This is the song, la la la la, ELLEN'S song." And Ellen liked it. So it was good.

Ugh. I know what song you're talking about (I never watched "Dawson's Creek" but I've heard the song on the radio), but never noticed the "say a little prayer for I".
And I thank you from the bottom of my....wait for it...achey breaky heart.
Frank, knock it off, man. I want nice flowers at our funeral.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Paula Cole, "I Don't Wanna Wait" (the Dawson's Creek song).
You mean "I can hardly wait/ for this song to be ooooover..."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I love "Billy, Don't Be a Hero." See Frank's comments on some bad songs being interesting. I also love, "The Night Chicago Died."
nods head in agreement
Bombast of a certain stripe I enjoy in that guilty pleasure sort of way. My problem with stuff like WBTC is that it's not bombastic enough.
And now I'm earwormed with "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" for some reason. I blame....one of you. I don't care who.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There are several places on my route to Canada (Pennsylvania, I'm looking at you) where the only available radio stations are of the Really Bad Country variety, and I love them to pieces. Lyrics like She's got her daddy's money / her mama's looks / more laughs than a pile of comic books. And the one sung entirely from the perspective of a guy whose wife left him for another man, and so now he has to work at McDonald's and live in a tent to afford the alimony, and the ex's new husband is at the drive-through window. I think it's called (yes, really) "Do You Want Fries With That?"
Billy Ray Cyrus, by comparison, is merely ordinary bad country. It's not nearly as much fun.

Cindy is me. And because of that, I'm arranging her funeral with lots of nice flowers and mostly '70s pop tunes.

Filk is different. For heaven's sake, you filked Officer Krupke into etiquette. Great is thy filkfulness, Betsy. Don't make me break out the "It's Christmas, Again" song, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like a lot of intentionally funny country songs. Most "serious" country leaves me pretty cold. You gotta love :
"I'm Not As Good as I Once Was, But I'm as Good Once as I Ever Was."

Sara loooooves Elmo's song. One of the first things she would try to sing. Thus, Elmo is *not* Elmo, but LaLa. Forever and ever.
