For those who ever wondered about such things, a survey of Australian actuaries has revealed that the song most likely to get them onto the dance floor is the Village People's "YMCA", with "The Macarena" and "Nut Bush City Limits" equal second. "The Chicken Dance" performed respectably. 6% of respondents said that nothing could possibly get them on the dance floor.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Lets party like actuaries!"
Or not...

If I only had a brain...

I think that phrase is still waiting for an original meaning.

She needs the good stuff. Opiates for all!
Yet another good reason to celebrate the Taliban's demise. Yay, warlords! Grow them poppies! Pop-pies! Pop-pies! Poppies! Popppiiees. Pppopppi...
Any word on the East Village show last night, David? I worked late & missed it, but I will be at the Housing Works event tonight.
I picked up The Indestructible Beat of Soweto last weekend. I've had it on tape for years, but the tape's pretty beat up and I was also hoping to find out more about the artists on it. The music's still great but the liner notes are pretty useless, giving nothing but a quick overview of the contents and translations of the lyrics. That's all fine and well, but there are so many killer musicians on the album and do the notes identify a single one? NO! What's up with that?

Nut Bush City Limits?
Sort of like Austin City Limits, but with fewer banjos and more didjeridus.

Nut Bush City Limits
Go, Tina! They call it Nutbush...
ETA: Or they could be big fans of Live Bullet. Nothing wrong with that, though.

scared of actuary parties.
All but Nutbush City Limits would be on my "never play ever" list.

I have an operatic version of Nutbush City Limits (which Steph has now heard too).

Joe! How is it that you were overlooked in the reading e-mail? I could have sworn I saw your address on the big mailings. Are you coming tonight regardless?
