Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

If the song has to actually explictly mention the work of art, rather just do a namecheck, hm. Off the top of my head, there's "Certain Songs" by The Hold Steady, which references a whole bunch of 80s songs, and "504" by the Old 97s talks about an "Elmore Leonard novel" (got the band a nice note from Mr L., too!)... I'll keep looking.

I'm stuck on the Mountain Goats's "Grendel's Mother," which is *about* Beowulf, but doesn't actually mention it.

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

Lloyd Cole's "Rattlesnakes" mentions reading Simone De Beauvior and Eve Marie Saint in On The Waterfront.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Would U2's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" count? The lyrics are taken directly from Salman Rushdie's novel of the same name.

Barenaked Ladies "If I Had $1,000,000" references buying some art ... I think it mentions Picasso directly, but I might be crazy.

Ooh, "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang and "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies both reference The X-Files.

Or, for that matter, you could go with Bree Sharp's "David Duchovny."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

I am currently addicted to Cibo Matto's "Birthday Cake." That might be appropriate. In a way.

Ann, that's a ferret.

May the song mention another song?

If so, "Radar Love" by Golden Earring ("Comin' On Strong" by Brenda Lee)

(ETA: And "Summer Rain" by Johnny Rivers ("Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"))

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

May the song mention another song?

"Land of a Thousand Dances" by... lots of people.

There's a song on the new Amy Rigby album called "Last Night I Was Dancing With Joey Ramone" that's really sweet. It mentions as many different songs as "Land of a Thousand Dances".

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

U2's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet"

God, Kate put that on her Buffistamix CD, and I just LOVE it.
