Uh, I’m pretty sure Nirvana is the name of the band. Isn’t the song called Smells Like Teen Spirit?

It’s fun to lose and to pretend…

I’m Henry the eighth I am

She’s been married seven times before…

I looked at the title. Hope blossomed, briefly, then died.

[Grrrr…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78169)

I’m high on drugs and cannot speak  
Salmon dance ahead for sure

I know, it makes no sense, but I could never understand what the hell Cobain was singing anyway. AFAIK, those were the actual words to his songs.

Go back to planning next year’s Frog Ball Day parade. 🙂

What’d you say? Did he feel sore crunchlocks? What? Did he rock the hard and talls? What the hell?

You’re starting to sound _just like_ Cobain!

[sup]Let’s see who listens to Bob and Tom[/sup]

Orange barrels, orange barrels,  
Everwhere I see!  
Orange barrels, orange barrels,  
Looking back at me!

I take a look a my enormous penis,  
And everything is going my way.  
I take a look a my enormous penis,  
And the blues just can’t hang around.

Favorite line to “Smells Like Teen Spirit”:

A mullato, an albino, a mosquito, my libido.

Who knows what the hell it means, but dang… it’s funny. 😃

[sub]I also like the Tori Amos version of the song. :)[/sub]

Sorry, **hardygrrl** , ya know I love you and all, but this thread’s already been hijacked all to shit and back…

**thinksnow** - _who the hell are Bob and Tom?_ I turn on the radio this morning and John Boy and Billy have been replaced by these characters, and all they’re doing is singing these two dam’ songs! And now, NO, I can’t get the frickin’ “orange barrels” thing outta my head!! :mad:

[Bob and Tom](http://www.bobandtom.com) are the hosts of a morning show based in Indianapolis that has been running for…geez, I don’t know, alot of years. I’ve been lisening to them for about 12 years now and have a few albums of theirs.

They have a number of comedians and the occasional rock star and a ton of funny skits (IMO). The “orange barrels” is notorious for getting stuck in peoples heads so when ever someone emails or calls saying that they have something running through their head, they play OB.

As for the John Boy and Billy show, I listened to them when I was in NC and they also play here, but I don’t care for the show too much.

Since this has already been hijacked…  
I’ll just post my favorite Liz Phair lyrics.  
From the song Flower:

Everything you say is so obnoxious,funny,true and mean.  
I want to be your blowjob queen. 🙂

You’re probably shy and introspective.  
That’s not part of my objective.  
I just want your fresh long jimmy.  
Jamming, slamming,ramming in me. 🙂
