The lyric from the Flaming Lips song is "She's a black belt in karate", no "got".
Oopsie!
I tried "my lovely foe" and got 5 hip-hop songs with "foe" in the title. Bah.
Yeah, Lyric Rat seems to weigh "popularity" higher than "close match."
Bastards!
Thanks for all the "awesomes!" and "yay!"ses. I'm still holding out hope that that ad agency will call again (not really).
I'm being extra-cautious about stuff for a while.
But this may be of some amusement/interest to Star Wars fans.

What artist should I listen to? (Has to be something on my iPod.)
I don't have any Mojo Nixon. (Yes, my record collection could use some fixin'.)

Learn to Sing Like a Star.
I gotta say that YLT v. Van Halen article was highly fraught with bullshit. Their snark was predicated on planes appearing in both videos, which is like saying that Das Boot is ripping off The Triumph of the Will because they both have Nazi soldiers in them.
Or it's like saying that Matthew Barney's Cremaster 1 is a
total ripoff !!!
of Black Sunday.
To be fair, I think the writer was just having a bit of fun and doesn't really believe it's a ripoff.
