Buffistas

Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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."

Buffista Music 3: Power Trio

It's going to be tough to find one as good as this one though.

"How high's the water, Mama?"
"Three feet high and rising."

"When the levee breaks / we'll have no place to stay."

After the flood, after the flood
The land that washed away felt like my flesh and blood
I’d rather be shovelin’ through the slush and mud
than to leave my home where I grew up
Life goes on after the flood

My favorite old oak tree’s rooted up,
well I’ll plant myself a new one after the flood

A place to call your very own means so much though it’s a little soggy
After all the water’s gone, I’ll scrub it clean and make it home again

Always Anti-fascist!

I love that call for submissions...best one ever. Makes me feel bad I'm not more bi-textual.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Along the Spinal Tap lines:

In Danger of Being Crushed by a Dwarf
or
None More Black.

I wouldn't use the flood ones because we don't yet know how bad it may get down there.

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

Given that it's already being called the worst natural disaster in American history by the head of FEMA, I think any reference to it in a thread title is in bad taste.

To go along with the current thread title, how about "Buffista Music III: The Search for Funk"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach"?

hip deep in pie

I laughed at Jon's, in spite of myself.

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

Oh jeez, I wasn't suggesting flood lyrics for thread titles. They were just on my mind.

"Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach"?

That'll do.

Silence means security silence means approval

I was thinking "Buffista Music III: The Folky One Nobody Plays."

move out and draw fire

Anybody else here heard Pink Martini (from Portland, OR)? I feel so late to the game on this one...looked them up after hearing their cover of "Que Sera Sera" in Dead Like Me. I'm in love.

The Amazon album description is

Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brazilian marching street band and Japanese film noir is the 12-piece Pink Martini.
