Mine is on the send.

My song is up.

DX -- you're next, I believe.

It'll have to wait until tonight when I'm home.

Hey!

That site is great. I think I have a new tagline.

That site is great. I think I have a new tagline.

My favorite is:

Kid #1: Paper beats rock. BAM! Your rock is blowed up!
Kid #2: "Bam" doesn't blow up, "bam" makes it spicy. Now I got a SPICY ROCK! You can't defeat that!

(Clarification for non-FoodTV watchers: there's a chef named Emeril who takes a pinch of cayenne or some other spice and says "Let's kick it up a notch" before winding up and throwing the pepper on the food with a loud BAM!)

Anyone have any good Pope songs

Mingus, "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive-Ass Slippers"

Funny Billy Idol interview from nerve.com. Visually work-safe, although many offices probably block the site. I can email it if you can't get to it.

Or when he gives a turn of the spice weasel.

Funny Billy Idol interview from nerve.com.

"Everyone should have the right to sleep with Billy Idol. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

I let Emmett hit in the batting cages this evening, while wearing a catcher's mask and helmet.

I think this added to his very cheerful and chatty mood tonight.

As we drove home I was playing my mix tape, Raydio Schmaydio v. 3 which has been in high rotation lately. Enough that Emmett can sing along with most of the songs. Which he usually only does with his absolute favorite songs (like Joan Jett's and Greg Gaffin's cover of Cole Porter's "Let's Do It" - which Emmett calls "the little bluebird song.")

But tonight he was whistling and singing along (even to Buck Naked's "Teenage Pussy From Outer Space" - which I am pretty sure he considers to be a song about spacecats).

So first he's whistling along with Morricone's theme to "For a Few Dollars More" and asks if somebody is really whistling in that song.

Me: "Not only is he whistling, but the same guy is playing the twangy guitar and leading the singers who are doing those background chants."
Emmett: "Whoa. Are they still flying the flags half mast for the Pope?"
Me: "Yes."
then the Buck Naked played.
Emmett: "He died right? Somebody shot him. Did they fly the flags at half mast when Buck Naked died?"
Me: "No."
Emmett: thinking about this "How about when Prince dies? Do you think they'll fly the flags at half mast when Prince dies?"
Me: "I don't know. They should. But they didn't even fly the flag at half mast when Ray Charles died."
Emmett: "What?!? But Ray Charles is a great singer. And a jazz musician. He's a great guy."

Emmett is now singing along with Charlie Rich's "I Can't Go On."

Emmett: "Who is this?"
Me: "Charlie Rich."
Emmett: "We should listen to this again. He sounds like Elvis. I like when his voice swoops up and down. This song has kind of a groove. It's a good night time song."

Emmett also sang along to Barry Gray's theme to "Stingray" and The Nowhere League's "For You." Then he asked me whether I thought it was more likely that he'd become a professional baseball player or a singer. I gave the edge to baseball for right now considering he's practiced at it for two years and hasn't practiced at music at all.

Obligatory Daily U2 Post From Alicia K:

I dig their cover of "Beat on the Brat" because really, where else can you hear a Nobel Peace Prize nominee sing with such glee:

Beat on the brat

Beat on the brat

Beat on the brat with a baseball bat, oh yeah!
