Temptation - New Order

Up, down, turn around, please don’t let me hit the ground,  
Tonight I think I’ll walk alone, I’ll find myself as I (mumble mumble, sounds like “go home”).

Mmm… I can’t believe I lost my trainspotting soundtrack…

“Yes, we got no bananas” Actually that was the first that came to mind. What would a shrink do with that information?

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… the A-team.

DUH DUH DUH DUH!!! DUH DUH DUH.

“Dance your cares away! ::clap clap:: Worries for another day! Let the music play! ::clap clap:: Down at **Fraggle Rock**!”

Earlier in the week, I had the theme song from **Hey Dude** stuck in my head. Ah, childhood television memories…

Great! I know have Fraggle Rock stuck in my head. I did have Placebo’s “Allergic(to thoughts of Mother Earth)” stuck in there.  
Any means in your horizon  
Heaven in a tourniquet  
Afterlife to keep you eyes on  
Bitter pill you take today  
With expert levitation forward  
Polished to the nth degree  
It takes its smile from every children  
You take the beating.

…  
Don’t let me down,  
Let me-he,  
Let me down,  
don’t let me,  
don’t let me down,  
let me-he,  
let me down,  
let me.

I believe I have memorized the whole CD. It is just stuck there in a rut.

‘Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group, they’re rather stupid.  
Cast off the shackles of yesterday, shoulder to shoulder into the fray.  
Our daughters daughters will adore us, as they sing in grateful chorus, well done sister suffregette!’

Yeah, my son’s new obsession is the Mary Poppins video.

I think it’s called “Glamorous Life” and I think it’s by Sheila E. I heard it in the import store yesterday and it was still with me when I woke up this morning. Thanks for asking.

_She’s got a smile that it seems to me something about childhood memories when everything was as something as the bright blue sky_

It’s even worse to have a song stuck in your head when you don’t know the words…

Guns & Roses, “Sweet Child o’ Mine”

I just got home from a bike ride. The first turnoff is Constantinople Street. So They Might Be Giants came along for the ride.
