FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Oh, boy! It’s Friday.

Last night, I returned from my ill-advised trip to Sweat City. Ill-advised, because it’s not a good idea to travel when you are suffering from Mogo on the Gogogo. Right now, I feel like hammered dogshit. Ball-peen hammered dogshit, if you will...but in a little while, I will toddle over to my physician’s office in the hope that he can prescribe a Helpful Medicament that will offer surcease from these, my sufferings.

They say that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Mayhap a Random Selection of Musical Arcana from the iPod d’Elisson will serve to soothe the Fevered Brow as well. Lessee:

1. Uncle Meat - Frank Zappa
   
2. The Hussein Skank - Skankin’ Pickle
   
3. Freedom Jazz Dance - Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express
   
4. Words Of Love - The Beatles
   
5. Scene 12: Unaware Of Its Taboos - Philip Glass, Les Enfants Terribles
   
6. Rock And Roll Music - The Beatles
   
   Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
   Any old way you choose it
   It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it,
   Any old time you use it
   Gotta be rock roll music
   If you wanna dance with me
   If you wanna dance with me
   
   I’ve got no kick against modern jazz
   Unless they try to play it too darn fast
   And lose the beauty of the melody
   Until they sound just like a symphony
   
   That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
   Any old way you choose it
   It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it,
   Any old time you use it
   It’s gotta be rock roll music
   If you wanna dance with me
   If you wanna dance with me
   
   I took my loved one over cross the tracks
   So she can hear my man a-wailin’ sax
   I must admit they have a rockin’ band
   Man, they were goin’ like a hurricane
   
   That’s why I go for that that rock and roll music
   Any old way you choose it
   It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it,
   Any old time you use it
   Gotta be rock roll music
   If you wanna dance with me
   If you wanna dance with me
   
   Way down south they had a jubilee
   Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
   They’re drinkin’ home brew from a wooden cup
   The folks are dancin’ - they got all shook up
   
   And started playin’ that rock and roll music
   Any old way you choose it
   It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it,
   Any old time you use it
   Gotta be rock roll music
   If you wanna dance with me
   If you wanna dance with me
   
   Don’t care to hear them play a tango
   I’m in the mood to kick a mambo
   It’s way too early for a congo
   So keep a-rockin’ that pi-a-no
   That’s why I go for that
   
   Rock and roll music
   Any old way you choose it
   It’s got a back beat, you can’t lose it,
   Any old time you use it
   Gotta be rock roll music
   If you wanna dance with me
   If you wanna dance with me
   
   
7. How Long Has That Train Been Gone - Professor Longhair
   
8. Tol’ko s Toboy - Leningrad
   
9. No Reply - The Beatles
   
10. Ride The Cliche - Stone Temple Pilots
    

Jebus. Just how many “Randomly Selected Tracks” do we have here from the frickin’ “Beatles For Sale” album, anyway?

Ahh, well. It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
