AKA Earworm Central. "Keptin! They put creaturesin our bodies!"--Chekov
If you're gonna have a folder about beer, you gotta have some tunes.
My life flows on in endless song
above earth's lamentation.
I hear the real, through far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the
strife I hear that music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul, how
can I keep from singing?
But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up
This line still brings a post-9/11 lump to my throat, even though the song predates the event by several years.
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
I wish.
Maybe I should go find the meditations thread.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
From the Movie "Cocktails"
Performed by Bobby McFerrin
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
the number
another summer
sound of a funky drummer
music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul
brothers and sisters
listen if you're missin' y'all
swingin' while I'm singin'
givin' whatcha gettin'
knowin' what I know
while the black bands sweatin'
and the rhythm rhymes rollin'
gotta give us what we want
gotta give us what we need
our freedom of speech is freedom or death
we got to fight the powers that be
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
we got to fight the powers that be
as the rhythm designed to bounce
what counts is that the rhymes
designed to fill your mind
now that you've realized the prides arrived
we got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
it's a start, a work of art
to revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
people, people we are the same
no we're not the same
’cause we don't know the game
what we need is awareness
we can't get careless
you say what is this?
my beloved let’s get down to business
mental self-defensive fitness
bumrush the show
ya gotta go for what you know
make everybody see
in order to fight the powers that be
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
we got to fight the powers that be
Elvis was a hero to most
Elvis was a hero to most
Elvis was a hero to most
but he never meant shit to me you see
straight up racist that sucker was
simple and plain
motherfuck him and John Wayne
’cause I'm black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
sample a look back you look and find
nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
don't worry be happy
was a number one jam
damn if I say it you can slap me right here
let‘s get this party started right
right on, c'mon
what we got to say
power to the people no delay
to make everybody see
in order to fight the powers that be
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
fight the power
we got to fight the powers that be
Off to the studio late night
Time to cut another track
It's gotta be hype
Got my rhyme book in hand
A blue loose leaf
Anybody move on that
They get loose teeth
Evil's got the funky beat
A stupid dope loop
But the record's kind of old!
(What we gonna do troop?)
We gotta clean it up
Cause it's so dope
Tried the rubbing alcohol
Even the Ivory soap
But no matter what we do
The record keeps clickin'
FUCK IT!
Evil E, give me some of that
Damn fried chicken!

Order now, supplies are limited!
Impressive. (My heart belongs to crabgrass, or I would....)
It'll be our little secret, Dock.
Me Me!
You know the drill. Send me your particulars on how I should get it to you by whatever private method you prefer. You can e-gram me, or the e-mail in my preferences/profile thingy works too. Or hell, I can just type it here. It's not like every spammer in the world doesn't already have this one.
millennigern2000@yahoo.com
Coming to collect it in person is out?
Bummer.
I'll keep your copy on my bedside table.
Yay.
Come and get it!
In that order?
Yes, it is. Hop to it.
Dude - you can leave my copies on the beer fridge. I'll be over directly.
Looks like a great little collection (or two)!Â
I should have brought it along when I went to your house while you were at work.
Yeah, visiting the wife while I'm off slaving in a tie - no fair.Â
I heard the girls were a big hit with the cats though.Â
whats this???
Yep. They had them purring and everything. The girls were ill-behaved little monsters, but that's another story.
What's what?
are you giving out something?
Yes, I am!
Considers Sparky in a tie.
<does not compute>
Perhaps I need pictures.
Hee. I would say that he cleans up well, but I can't remember the last time I saw him cleaned up.
<ducks>
The only pictures I've seen of Sparky were ones you took while y'all were camping.
OT:
I am so cold, I want you to heat me
I am so tired, I want you to carry me
I am so torn, I want you to mend me
I am so quiet, find words for me
[Chorus:]
But I'm old enough to know
Old enough to understand
All these things I've carried here
Belong in a child's hands
I am so guilty, want you to absolve me
I am so distant, build a road to me
I don't want to know, promise you'll lie to me
Don't want to be alone, promise never to leave me
[Chorus:]
But I'm old enough to know
Old enough to understand
All these things I've carried here
Belong in a child's hands
I don't have any pictures of me in a tie, that I know of. It only happens when I have to for work, or for special occasions. And that isn't the only pictures you've seen of me amie - there were the ones from our Carribean vacation. How quickly they forget...
Nice lyrics too - who dat?
Lucy Kaplansky, A Child's Hands.
Forgetted the sailing cruise, silly!amie.
I've heard that name, I think. In a good context. I heard a Madeline Peru (sp?) this morning on The Morning Show - solid traditional vocalist - sorta jazzy/Parisian troubedor (sp? again - sigh, I'm turning into the morons I despair of) style.
Madeleine Peyroux.
It's on Rounder Records. It must be good.
For our new Secretary of State:
Oh Condi Condi beggin’ on my knees
Open up your heart and let me in wontcha please
Got no money but everybody knows
I love you Condi and I’ll never let you go
Sweet and dandy pretty as can be
You be the flower and I’ll be the bumble bee
Oh she loves me oops she loves me not
People say you’re cold but I think you’re hot
Oh, Condi, Condi
Oh, Condi, Condi
Oh Condi, Condi I’m talkin’ to you girl
What’s it gonna hurt come on give me a whirl
Shake your body now let me see you go
One time for me Oh Condi I love you so
Skank for me Condi show me what you got
They say you’re too uptight I say you’re not
Dance around me spinnin’ like a top
Oh Condi Condi Condi don’t ever stop
Oh Condi Condi Can’t you hear me call
I’m standin’ in the street outside your garden wall
Pocketful of money belly full of wine
Condi in my heart and romance on my mind
Listen to me Condi don’t be afraid
I come here tonight to chase your blues away
I’ll never hurt you I’ll treat you right
Oh Condaleeza won’t you come out tonight
Pretty little Condi precious as can be
Bet you never had another lover like me
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold....
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well.....I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again....

Wow. Geez, thanks for expanding my horizons you two. Sheesh.

All the love I miss loving, all the kiss I miss kissing.

Happy 71st birthday John Mayall!
I've waited here for you
everlong
tonight
I throw myself into
out of the red out of her head she sang
come down
and waste away with me
down with me
slow how
you wanted it to be
over my head out of my head she sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you gotta promise not to stop when I say when
she sang
breathe out
so I can breathe you in
hold you in
and now
I know you've always been
out of your head out of my head I sang
and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you gotta promise not to stop when I say when
Frosti -- ordinarily I wouldn't say anything -- and I like John Mayall (anybody who keeps his own kneecap in a jar on his desk is alright with me) -- but that's a cover of a tune written by the master bluesman Otis Rush, one of my all-time faves.
But I always loved this little gotta-be-movin'-on-babe lyric by Mayall, best in the live rendition on his deathless Turning Pointalbum.
ROOM TO MOVE
May seem peculiar
How I think o' you
If you want me darlin'
Here's what you must do.
You gotta free me
Cuz I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move.
If you want me darlin'
Take me how you can
I'll be circulating,
Cuz that's the way I am.
You gotta free me
Cuz I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move
Yes, I know it's not a Mayall song. I was pressed for time and there seems to be a distinct shortage of John Mayall lyrics out on the net. Everything I was pulling up was recorded by Mayall at one point, but most of it was by another songwriter. I finally decided to just pick one so I could get the birthday wish out.
Thanks for the genuine article!
I don't need no diamond ring
I don't need no Cadillac car
Just want to drink my Ripple wine
Down in the Lightnin' Bar
Down in the Lightnin' Bar
Some people value fortune and fame
I don't care about 'em none
Just want to drink my Ripple wine
I want to have my good time fun
Have my good time fun
CHORUS
I don't need no diamond ring
I don't need no Cadillac car
Just want to drink my Ripple wine
Down in the Lightnin' Bar
Down in the Lightnin' Bar
When I die don't cry for me
Don't bury me at all
Place my livin', laughin', lovin' bones
In a jar of alcohol
Hundred proof alcohol
CHORUS
I don't need no diamond ring
I don't need no Cadillac car
Just want to drink my Ripple wine
