\*\* Scarlet Begonias\*\* She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes. And I knew without askin’ she was into the blues. She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls, I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls. ---

“Jolene” by Cake. \* Well Jolene unlocked the thick, breezeway door, Like she’d done one hundred times before. Jolene smoothed her dark hair in the mirror. She folded the towel carefully and put it back in place. Yeah I want to pull you down into bed. I want to cast your face in lead. Well every time I pull you close, Push my face into your hair, Cream rinse and tobacco smoke, That sickly scent is always, always there. \* ---

> [@breezman](#): > > I dream of Jeannie with her light brown hair. By Bugs Bunny (or probably some old person before that). Yep, your hunch that it didn’t originate with Bugs Bunny is spot on. It was a well known song at one time, and written by Stephen Foster, though he wasn’t old when he wrote it. Actually, he died young, so he was never really an old person. Your theory ran a bit off the rails there. 😉 ---

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-xeZr5K9iCQ/hqdefault.jpg "Van Stephenson - Modern Day Delilah") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xeZr5K9iCQ) **Modern Day Delilah** by Van Stephenson, 1984. Good song I remember from MTV. Apparently Kiss did this song too, or at one with the same title. Posting from my tablet, can’t seem to do a better link.
