Buffistas

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm quite fond of Jessica Simpson's "I Wanna Love You Forever". It's so plainly obvious that the singer has pretty much lost her grip on reality, and this Will Not End Well.

I like songs with that kind of internal contradiction. See also Jewel's "This Way", Art Garfunkel's "All I Know" (I could probably add much of Garfunkel's work to this list, though I'm in two minds about whether to include Boxing Helena), Leah Haywood's "We Think It's Love". Though not the Divinyl's cover "Hey Little Boy". That one just leaves me going "Huh?" Seriously: your boyfriend cheated on you. Why are you giggling? And you return fire with "you didn't think of nothing new, other boys did it" -- how is "I make a habit of dating cheaters" a comeback? He must just be reeling from this zinger.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I drove about 75 miles to see Air Supply in concert at the 1981 Wisconsin State Fair. And, to tie back to a post upthread, "Greatest American Hero" probably played on the radio at least once during the drive there or back.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Check this out. A few seconds of every pop #1 song.

I loved this. It is in two parts.

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

A question that's been bugging me for 26 years: In the Velvet Underground's "Some Kinda Love," what does the line, "Put jelly on your shoulder" mean? Or is it just something weird Lou made up, like (I think) "PR shoes" in "I'm Waiting For the Man"?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Way cool, Jon! Best of luck, you wacky theremin player, you.

I'm so excited for you Jon, and am awed by your confidence in situations like that. May the AGT crew realize what they found in you so that America gets to share it.

I have great love for the theme for Greatest American Hero. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.

I made a spinning (exercise) mix with tv themes and this one is my favorite.

My theory is that I don't end up liking a series if I don't like the theme song...and some theme songs have ended up being my favorite music.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The theme from Taxi is probably one of my favorites, up there with Hawaii 5-0 and Mission Impossible.

I love the Psych theme, Bones, Angel (although the Darling Violetta track has some weird stuff on it that makes it less enjoyable than the theme snippet), H5O, Justified and an obscure reality show called Sons of Guns.

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

Medical Center had a great theme by Lalo Schifrin. (Who, of course, also did Mission: Impossible.)

The Jonny Quest theme gets my heart pumping, and its horn chart was used as an audition piece in Hollywood for years because it's so difficult.

One of my favorite teasers on Friends was when they all started humming The Odd Couple theme (by Neil Hefti, who also did Batman).

Courageous Cat does a good job stealing the riff from Peter Gunn, and the New York Dolls used to cover it.

Speaking of Rock and Roll covers, the MTM theme was done by both Husker Du and Joan Jett. And The Breeders did the BtvS theme.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

the MTM theme was done by both Husker Du and Joan Jett.

The MTM theme was written by Sonny Curtis, from The Crickets.
