Bruce told me its ok to blast away at my TV when there’s nuthin on
I might just have a drink and a drive - go out, see what I can find.
Why are we picking on Ringo and not Johnny Burnette, who performed the original version in 1960? Or indeed the Sherman Brothers who wrote it (and then went on to write the songs for several family films like Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, etc)? And speaking of family films, Liesl in The Sound of Music was only 16 going on 17 when Rolf went after her - I mean, this is classic grooming behavior. Won’t someone besides Roy Moore think of the children?
As for other songs, I’m not even going to get into the lyrics of the Bloodhound Gang’s “A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Cryin’” but, yeah, not really something to emulate.
Interestingly, I was listening to The Shankill Butchers by the Decembrists while reading this thread.
The Shankill butchers ride tonight
You better shut your windows tight
They’re sharpening their cleavers and their knives
And taking all their whiskey by the pint.
(It’s based on a true story.)
Phew, fortunately Black Flag only wants to watch TV and have a couple of brews.
I guess rockabilly is too close to country and potential Roy Moore voters don’t want to be reminded that in the summer when she turned 18, Momma took Bobbie Gentry, painted her eyes and lips, put her in a satin dancin’ dress with a split in the side clean up to her hips, and told her, “Now get on out, you better start sleepin’ uptown.”
Greatest crime of all? Leaving a cake out in the rain.
And losing the recipe.
Led Zeppelin has made it clear our only goal should be invading the western shore.
Didn’t kill nobody, but I know the score, I just start the fires in the great car dealer war.
In the song Let It Go Elsa is basically saying she doesn’t care any more and is going to do whatever she wants.
“Call me Ms. Freeze”
And abandon your wife and kids while you’re at it?
“I took a left turn and I just kept going.” :dubious:
I light the fires while the city sleeps
Not to mention all these merry pranks.
You know in 1992 Ice-T rapped about going out and revenge killing policemen, while fully conscious of the pain it might cause. You want to take away his achievement?
Oh right, you did manage to take it away.
Kenny Rogers “Coward of the County” took the law into his own hands, with the Gatlin boys who took turns at Becky.
He just beat them up; the woman in Martina McBride’s “Independence Day” burned the house down with her abusive husband (and herself) in it, leaving her child to be placed in the county home. I can’t condone that sort of thing.
But she sang about it! That makes it OK!
Paul Simon, after learning how to play lead guitar, was in this funky bar and I hear tell he was underage.
mmm
