Alejandro Escovado - "I Was Drunk"
and his brother Mario's band the Dragons' -- "Three Steps from the Bar"
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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.

Steph, this is one of mine and Jon's favorites, if only for the end- which reminds him of some of his patrons- "Whadda ya mean it's last call!?! I just got heeeeeeeer!"

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Hey, soundtrack fans, there was a very interesting interview with Hollywood Bowl Music Director John Mauceri today on Soundcheck. He loves film scores and is a, perhaps the, major proponent of live performances of movie music. Lots of cool stories, especially the mutual influence on each other of everyone's favorite tennis partners(!), George Gershwin and Arnold Schoenberg. Worth a listen.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
One of my oldest friends gave me a belated birthday present last night: a mix CD she made entitled "About Jillian"; all songs that she associates with me or our friendship. I'm completely knocked out by it, and it is easily one of the most thoughtful mixes I've ever been given. The songs are:
From one Jesus to Another – The Mission UK
Lindy’s Party – The Bolshoi
Devil Bunnies – My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
I’m Cute – Animaniacs
Keep Young & Beautiful – Annie Lennox
Pretty in Pink – Psychedelic Furs
Dear Prudence – Siouxsie
Maria – Blondie
Why Can’t I Be You – The Cure
Home – Depeche Mode
A Few of My Favorite Things – Me First & the Gimme Gimmes
You’re My Best Friend – Queen
Magic – The Cars

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be
lyrically, Talib Kweli.
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did five mill' - I ain't been rhymin like Common since (Jay-Z)
Gloomcookie -
"Empty Glasses" is an excellent suggestion, but about that song your Dad likes? You know - the one that says something about "My head is like a football."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Oooh, that's a lyric I can see a bunch of my drunk friends slurring (which is the test for making it on the playlist).

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Hahahahahahaha! Yeah, I think it's called "Wasn't that a Party." Some sample lyrics:
Could have been the whiskey
Might have been the gin
Could have been the 3 or 4 six-packs
I don't know but look at the shape I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm gonna die

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I think it's called "Wasn't that a Party."
Yup, that's the Tom Paxton song JSw and I mentioned upthread a bit. Great song.

If I only had a brain...
Nobody's mentioned the one with the chorus "I spent my last ten bucks on birth control and beer/Life was so much better when I was sober and queer."
I heard the Worst. Jazz. Cover. Ever. Today. A smooth jazz version of "Dance me till the end of love".
