Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random Paul McCartney & Wings question: In the song "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", is Admiral Halsey the Admiral Halsey of the US Navy (of WW-II fame)?

eta: The Admiral Halsey of the US Navy was quite famous in the US during WW-II, but I don't now how well known he was in Great Britain....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My next liner notes gig:

Julie Brown's Trapped in the Body of a White Girl featuring "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun."

I didn't realize her sketch TV show featured pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston, pre-Spongebob Tom Kenney and pre-Seinfeild Wayne Knight.

She had an eye for talent. (see also: Earth Girls Are Easy)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun."

My 8th grade Halloween costume.

"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"

I just had that in a crossword puzzle! And didn't know the "Paul and Linda McCartney song admiral."

In case anyone was wondering how recent posts in this thread relate to my life.

I surely hope somebody captured this on film.

"The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun."

The flip side, "I Like 'em Big and Stupid" was also a winner.

Yeah, that was actually the A-side.

I didn't realize that she's kept so busy as a writer and producer. She did the Jonas Bros. Camp Rock movie.

Anyone like Wall of Voodoo? What albums of theirs are good (besides Call of the West, which is the only one of theirs I have)? ?

I love "Lost Weekend," "Factory," "They Don't Want Me" and "Mexican Radio" (their big MTV "hit")....

Have you heard Stan Ridgway's solo albums, tommy? The early ones are pretty great. The songs are like little short stories with soundtracks.
