I’m sorry, but I just can’t hold back any more. Certain names remind me of songs. Like **Jarbaby** : (To the tune of The Beach Boys’ _Beach Baby_) _Jarbaby, jarbaby there on the shelf A-floatin’ in formalidehyde…_ Or **Nymysys**. I always think back to Shriekback’s “Oil and Gold” album: _Priests and cannibals Prehistoric animals Everyone is happy as the Dead come home Big black Nemesis Parthenogenesis No one move a muscle as the Dead come home_ ---

For some reason, everytime I see **Johnny L.A** I hear the \*Peter Gunn theme \*in my head. Which is a truly cool piece of music, IMHO. I’ve never seen your _mane_ so I can’t comment on that. 🙂 ---

Well, there is _Happiness is a **Warm Gun** _ from the _White Album_ by the _ **Beatle** s_, and _ **Cisco** Duck_ by _Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots_. ---

More accurately, that is _Disco Duck_ there. ---

I was wondering what was up with the “long hair” reference. Obvioiusly “manes” in the title should be “names”. Will a moderator please change that? Thanks. ---

**tclouie** ’s name reminds me of _You’ve Come a Long Way from St. Louis_ **tsunamisurfer** ’s name reminds me of _Volare_: _Tsunami, whoa! Tsunami, look at it go! Grab your boards, we’ll surf in the bay Come ride the tsunami today Tsunami, whoa!_ ---

**Arden Ranger** ’s username reminds me of two songs, the Power Ranger themesong and the army ranger chant. _Go, go, Arden Ranger! Living the life of danger…_ and _I wanna be an Arden Ranger I wanna live a life of danger…_ ---

😃 > [@](#): > > Go, go, Arden Ranger! > Living the life of danger… Oh, great. Just as I finally have the Power Ranger’s theme out of my head, here you go! Well, as long as my 8 yr. old doesn’t get on another PR kick I might be okay… > [@](#): > > I wanna be an Arden Ranger > I wanna live a life of danger… Heh. That one I have to write.
