Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

2HB by Roxy Music is about Bogie

"Key Largo" and "Casablanca" by Bertie Higgins also center around him. "Key Largo" includes the line "Here's lookin' at you, kid."

"Brown Eyed Handsome Man by Chuck Berry:

Marlo [sic] Venus was a beautiful lass
Had the world in the palm of her hand
Lost both her arms in a wrasslin' match
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Really? The soap opera?

Yes. I don't remember the exact words, but the idea is that the TV's broken, so she can't watch her soap.

There's also an obscure tribute to General Hospital called "General Hospi-tale" by the Afternoon Delights, which had a very brief moment of popularity in the early '80s.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

A song that mentions a piece of art (movie, sculpture, poem, whatev.)

There's always the Jonathan Richman hits "Pablo Picasso" and "Vincent Van Gogh".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

:sheepish: I think I bought this 45. Hey, I was in high school and watched GH, what can I say.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

What song would you play at every birthday party you would ever throw for yourself?

One of two Prince songs (but I can't decide which) -- "Baby, I'm a Star" or "Sexy Motherfucker."

It looks like my band is playing in NYC! On Sept. 30 at the 169 Bar.

Aside from playing DC a couple of times this will be our first out-o-town show! I'm very excited.
