Yeah, it's a variation on Staggerlee where he makes a deal with the devil
Cf. the Robert Johnson section of Mystery Train.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Damn, who was sampling Stewart Copeland?

It Takes a Nation of Millions... is so dense that I wouldn't be surprised if the Bomb Squad threw in anything. "'Havin' My Baby'? Yeah, I can do something with that." So Zenyatta Mondatta doesn't throw me. Pick hits: "Louder Than a Bomb" and "Rebel Without a Pause"

Are you ready to be strong?
Jon, your wife is a very graceful writer.

I can vouch that she is a very graceful person altogether in both manner and speech.

I'm so jealous that you got to meet her! I wanna!

She's soft-spoken and has a gentle manner. But she's kind of sly and appreciates playfulness too. She's observant and takes a lot of things in. She's quite smart, as you would surmise.
She's very pretty and it manifests in a very feminine way that's not girly at all.

I love her already.

If anyone wants the MP3s from that Staggerlee site, I have most of them; 27 versions, IIRC.
