In The Morning

In the morning I’ll still be here even though you’ll be ashamed
And I’ll make you toast and clean up most of the problems I was blamed
For causing even though I think you know it was your ex who came in drunk
Who would’ve thunk so many words can rhyme with bunk and sunk and punk
And so I roast the bread and toast the dead or should it be the other way around
And have you found the precious earrings that fell out when you were on the ground
So you’re awake and at the table and you see me in your stable
So surprised that I was able to make a meal from the contents of your fridge
And though I’ve cheated just a smidge by walking down the street to by some meat
And cheese and eggs and milk and a fucking frying pan
You start to wonder if I’m a man who can make some sense of your future tense
Which has up to now been acknowledged in the past and I think, am I the last
Decent guy to ever walk through this train wreck’s door?
I sure hope so because she’s just what I need and I should ask for nothing more.

The Summertime Music Throwdown!

Hey gang! Three cheers for summer being ripped up and thrown away for a few months!
Hip!
Hip!
Hooray!!

So summer's almost over, but today it was a hundred and some-odd degrees coming back from the dentist and I was thinking about some of the summer songs that I like. They were:

Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts
Suddenly Last Summer - The Motels
Cruel Summer - Bananarama

So then when I got home I thought of some other summer songs, and even pulled some cds down to check for summer songs I might have forgotten. Came up with:

Summer Nights - Grease soundtrack
That Summer - Garth Brooks
Boys of Summer - Don Henley (The Ataris did a popular cover a few years ago)
Summer in the City - the Lovin' Spoonful

So then I decided to search Youtube for other songs I had heard but couldn't remember and came up with some gems:

Summer Girls - LFO
All Summer Long - Kid Rock
In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

I'm going to post a few videos... What's your favorite summer song?



Now let's take a second... there may have never been a song, ever, EVER, worse than this. Listen to the verses. Jon Stewart would call this a Moment of Zen. None of the verses even have anything to do with summer.
"Billy Shakespeare wrote a bunch of sonnets." Word.





"Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind..." 'Nuff said.


Now, I wanted to put a third video up but I don't know who deserves the honors. There's a Lego version of Summer Nights (from Grease) but I think I like the real peoples better. Who wants to play? There's a pretty good chance that this post will have no comments, like usual, but it would also be fun if people posted some fucking summer videos to entertain me! Right? And entertain you! And themselves! It's all a lot of fun. If you use Youtube, you just copy the "embed" line (if you're legally allowed to!) and then paste that in your comment. WHAM! It's a video! And NO Rick Astley videos! Okay, one.
