“Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young I have two cats in my yard. And everything is easy, because of my wife. More recently, [All These Things That I’ve Done](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2vBYBE24Y) by The Killers has been playing in my head a lot since my 20th high school reunion a week and a half ago. _Another headache, another heartbreak I am so much older than I can take And my affection, well it comes and goes I need direction to perfection No no no no – Help me out Yeah, you know you got to help me out Yeah – don’t you put me on the back burner You know you got to help me out…_ ---

According to my iTunes playcount list, the first _plausible_ candidate is the Tiger Lillies’ _Hell_ (the fast, “Live from Russia” version). After that, it’s either [“Rock Shop”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ezt9K2JbbE) or the main titles to _The Last Valley._ ---

My band has done a variation on the Monkee’s Theme song, with lyrics I rejiggered: _Here we come, walking down the street We never get any looks from any girls we meet Hey, hey, we’re Yell County People say we’re too f_^%ing loud But we’re too busy flailing To turn our volume down We’re just trying to be rock stars But no one comes to see us play We’re the numb generation And we’re got nothing to say…\* ---
