The other day, I heard an acoustic version of Men at Work's "Overkill." Just Colin Hay (I assume it was him -- the vocal sounded the same as the hit version) and a guitar. It blew me away. Lost some of the energy, but really captured that feeling you have when it's 3:00 in the morning and you can't sleep and your mind dwells on everything bad, humiliating, or anxiety-producing that ever happened or will happen.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love that song - ever since high school. Probably their best song. I can't listen to it before sundown.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
When I went to Kenyon for my reunion this summer, the 80s cover band did "Overkill." Great to hear it live.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's no such thing as bad publicity?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wow, I always wanted to think he was immortal.

Maybe he is and he's just being sneaky.
