You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

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

but provides an mp3 that sounds like it's from the eighties or nineties.

Yeah, that's definitely not the treble-to-11, Chess Studio echo, maracas-shaking original. Bo's re-recorded "Who Do You Love" about ninety trillion times and that one definitely sounds 80s/90s. What's particularly odd in the context of this comparison is that Bo's original is the template for Thorogood's sound, particularly with the stinging, trebly guitar attack.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold... and that's why the lady is a tramp (Jimmy Page rips off Richard Rodgers & it prompts me to sully Robert Plant and Larry Hart. I'm just a bad person.)

Heh. No worse then me thinking about Larry Hart as a gay, cigar-chomping midget. (And he's one of my favorite lyricists of all time.)

If I only had a brain...

You forgot "alcoholic, self-loathing" in that list.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Posting without comment:

This should be paired up as a double feature with that Journey Don't Stop Believin' Tribute to America, and shown every July 4 (or, for extra tackiness, 9/11).

hip deep in pie

It totally reminded me of the Tribute to America too!! Yet stranger in many ways.

He's a songwriter. That's understood.

Tell it to Irving Berlin.

"Irving! You're far too well-adjusted to be a songwriter. Give it up!"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've uploaded my Emmett song, "Where'sThat Hit", by the Hoodoo Gurus. Sorry for the delay. Tommyrot is up next.

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