you will rot in hell for messin with my song!


Jimi

hey, wait until the Tony Orlando version comes out...

You guys are amazing. I vow to stay out of here until mid-november (was getting too polarized to even browse), and then you guys come up with some truly worthwhile OT stuff.

What a pleasant breath of air!

Go Todd!

jimi, stevie, albert, muddy, freddy and lightning will be waiting at the gates to whoop you!

oh yeah? But the BeeGees, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Hall and Oates, and The Starland Vocal Band will have my back.

Bring it!

You are tostada, Amigo! :D

Thanks!

There's nothing like satire and angst to brighten your day! :D

God that is funny!! That made my day. But I'm easy!

(this one always gets me)

come on everybody
get on your feet
get with the beat
there's a brand new dance craze
sweeping the nation
and it's called the funky western civilization

well there's a riot in the courthouse, there's a fire in the street
there's a sinner bein' trampled by a thousand pious feet
there's a baby every minute bein' born without a chance
now don't that make you want to jump right up and start to dance?

let's do the funky
the funky western civilization
it's really spunky
it's just like summertime vacation
you just grab your partner by the hair
throw her down and leave her there

they put jesus on a cross, they put a hole in j.f.k.
they put hitler in the driver's seat and looked the other way
now they've got poison in the water and the whole world in a trance
but just because we're hypnotized, that don't mean we can't dance

we've got the funky
the funky western civilization
it's really spunky
it's just like summertime vacation
you just drag your partner through the dirt
leave him in a world of hurt

you get down
get funky
get western
(own up to it boys and girls)
and if you try real hard maybe you can even get, you know, kinda civilized·

(mesdames et messieurs, bon soir. this is joan of arc. tonio has asked me to personally deliver a rather special message. he say he just cannot get enough of my 15th-century wisdom. he say he loves it when i talk with him like this. and after many a saturday night of doing ze funky western civilization together, i know for a fact he agrees with me when i say [in french]:
you can bull**** the baker and get the buns
you can back out of every deal except one)

this is the funky
the funky western civilization
it's oh, so very spunky
it's just like summertime vacation
all's you gotta do is find some little kid somewhere
and throw him way up in the air
(never mind the parents)

yes it's a funky
a funky western civilization
and it may seem kinda skunky, you know
but it's hitting every nation (all across the universe)
that's 'cause all's you gotta do is grab your partner by the hair
throw her down and leave her there

I wana take ya higher
I wana take ya higher
Chicago Green, talkin bout Black Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon
Give me my release come on
Black Napalese, it's got U weak in the knees
Sneeze some dust that you got buzzed on
You know it's so hard to believe

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
Thats what they give U
30 days in the hole
I know

Newcastle Brown, I'm tellin you, it sure can smack you down
Black Napalese, it's got you weak in the knees
Sneeze some dust that you got buzzed on
Take a greasy whore and a rollin dance floor
It's got your head spinin round
If you live on the road, well theres a new highway code
You take the urban noise with some dirt with poison
It's gona lessen your load

30 days in the hole
Thats what they give you now
30 days in the hole

What U doin boy?
You here for 30 days
Get get your long hair cut
and cut your ways

Black Napalese, it's got you weak in the knees
Gona sneeze some dust that you got bust on
You know it's so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack U down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin dance floor
You know your jailhouse bound

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole


And at full volume....turn it up to 11....

Bye and bye now
We'll get over
The things we've done and the things we said
But not just now when
I can 't remember
Exactly what it was I thought we had
'Cause I waited so long girl and I came so far
To find out you're not always who you say you are

And there's a star in the book of liars by your name

Santa Claus came in late last night
Drunk on Christmas wine
Fell down hard in the driveway
Hung his bag out on the laundry line
There's a Cobra Gunship for his golden boy
And there's a Hello Kitty for his pride and joy

And a silver star in the book of liars by your name
They hung a star in the book of liars by your name

Stars imploding
The long night passing
Electrons dancing in the frozen crystal dawn
Here's one left stranded at the zero crossing
With a hole in its half-life left to carry on
But now the world's much larger than it looks today
And if my bad luck ever blows me back this way

Then I'll just look in my book of liars for your name
I'll just look in the book of liars for your name

I've got plenty of java
And Chesterfield Kings
But I feel like crying
I wish I had a heart like ice
Heart like ice

The Nightfly?

second one yes...one of my favorite sets of lines...

First one is a bit more obscure: Walter Becker from "11 Tracks of Whack."

I couldn't place the first one...I'll look for the album. I've seen the various live SD incarnations a few times and was absolutely floored at the musicianship. The soundtrack to most of my youthful indescretions was SD...

Gary-I didn't know anyone else remembered Tonio K! I actually prefer "The Night the Clocks All Quit and the Goverment Failed" (you remember, the line about "attilla the hun and his Austrian son...")

I would kill to have that stuff in a digital format. Any clue?
