Stewie and the Cowtones - My Fat Baby

Warm out today. Warm yesterday. Even warmer today.

Met her on my CB, said her name was Mimi
Sounded like an angel come to Earth
(Come to Earth)
When I went to meet her
man you should've seen her
Twice as tall as me, three times the girth
(girth)
Oh my fat baby loves to eat
(loves to eat)
A big ol' Buddha belly
and her breasts swing past her feet
(Feet)
My fat baby loves to eat
My big ol' fat-ass baby loves to eat

I've got blisters on me fingers!!!

The Band - Don't Do It

OK...this song actually comes by way of Mr. Marvin Gaye. So maybe I should change the title. But in reality, at least in my mind's reality, there really is only one version of this song, and that's the one that Rick, Levon, Richard, Garth and Robbie get down on.

If you haven't seen it before, check out The Last Waltz. It's a "documentary" of The Band's last show ever, and it's directed by Martin Scorsese. The movie actually opens with this song, so you could really get away with watching the first 5 minutes. Or just YouTube it. That's what I do when I'm bored.

But if you're a music fan of any stretch of the imagination, rent the movie. You won't regret it.

Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart

I sacrifice to make you happy, left nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether I'm right or wrong
I need you baby to keep on keepin' on

You know I'm trying to my best
Oh i'm trying to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart

My biggest mistake was loving you too much
and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me
and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me

Go down to the river and there I be
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't ya see I love ya?
Open up you heart, girl
Can't ya see I need ya?

Foo Fighters - Hey, Johnny Park!

For starters, the name of the song alone is awesome. I read an interview with Dave Grohl where he said that, basically, Johnny Park was a great friend of his that he's since lost contact with, and he thought that if he named a song after him, he might call one day.

Not sure if he ever called.

Come and I'll take you under
this beautiful bruise's colors.
Everything fades in time, it's true.

Wish that I had another
stab at the under cover.
Was it a change in mind for you?

***

Your eyes still remind me of
angels that hover above.
Eyes that can change from blind to blue.

***

Now that I've found my reward,
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you

Dispatch - Out Loud

This is what's currently stuck in my head...

would you be the wind to blow me home
would you be a dream
on the wings of a poem
and if you were walking through a crowd
you know I'd be proud

if you call my name out loud
do you suppose that I would come running
do you suppose I'd come at all
I suppose I would

The Bee Gees - I Started A Joke

OK...yeah....The Bee Gees. I'll admit that I've never heard the Bee Gee's version of this song. I'm more familiar with the Wallflowers' version of it. I was watching Zoolander the other day, and at the beginning, right after he loses the award to Hansel (Hansel...so hot right now...Hansel), he's sitting in a puddle outside on the street and they start playing this fantastic Wallflowers song. Well...a couple googles (eugoogoly?) later, I now know that it's *gasp* originally done by the Bee Gees.

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
But I didn’t see that the joke was on me.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.

’til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was one me."

Incubus - Southern Girl

Frankfort, KY...wish I was there right about now....

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl
Could you want me?

So come outside and walk with me
We'll try each other on to see if we fit
And with our roots, become a tree
To shade what we make, under it

Ben Folds - Not The Same

OK, Becky definitely gets the credit for making me think of a Ben Folds song. I think this is probably my favorite song of his. It's a true story about a guy that takes some acid at a party, then while he's tripping has some revelation and becomes a born-again Christian. If you've never heard it, or just don't listen to Ben Folds, I can guarantee you that this song is worth your time. One fun note about it...the first time I heard this song was on a friend's "Ben Folds Live" DVD. This song features a chorus in the background, kind of doing a 3 part "ah" deal (as if you have any idea what I'm talking about). Since he didn't have a chorus with him when they made the DVD, he had the audience split up and do it. Very cool :)

you took a trip
and climbed a tree
at Robert Sledge's party
and there you stayed
'til morning came
you were not the same after that

you gave your life
to Jesus Christ
and after all your friends went home
you came down,
you looked around
and you were not the same after that

Have a good weekend!
