FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - SWEAT CITY EDITION

Welcome once again to Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, the weekly feature in which I post a selection of Choons drawn at random from the legendary iPod d’Elisson.

It is, of course, Friday. But instead of writing this in my accustomed Homely Lair, I’m pounding the keys in a hotel room in Houston, Texas. A few hours at the headquarters of the Great Corporate Salt Mine, and I will board the Silver Aerial Bus that will take me home to my lovely Missus, who celebrates her very birthday today.

Perhaps the iPod d’Elisson will cough up something appropriate to the occasion. Lessee:
  1. Pluto - Björk
  2. We Are Not A Football Team - Minus The Bear
  3. Pearl of the Quarter - Steely Dan
  4. Half Moon Bay - Béla Fleck & The Flecktones
  5. 5 Years - Björk
  6. Florentine Pogen (live) - Frank Zappa

    Ah-oh-oh-oh ah-oh-oh-oh ah-oh-oh-oh oh-oh

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Sow-oup
    Sow-oo-oup
    La-la la-la la-la la-la
    Lo-la lo-la lo-la

    She was the daughter of a wealthy
    Florentine Pogen
    (Sou-oup)
    Read ’em ’n’ weep
    Was her adjustable slogan

    She was a debutante daisy
    With a color-note organ
    Deep in the street
    She drove a ’59 Morgan

    WOO-LAH!

    That’s the kinda step she takes
    When her hot breaks hot brakes
    That’s the kinda sound she makes
    (ooh, let go uh me)
    When her crab cakes
    (Arf arf arf)

    She didn’t like it when her fan belt
    Shrunk and got shorter
    (Ointment)
    Battery leaks could nearly cost her a quarter

    She didn’t want to go home
    An’ watch the pestle go mortar
    Later she speaks
    On how Perellis might court her

    Na-na-na, na-na-hoo
    Na-na-na, na-na-hoo
    Na-na-na, na-na-soup
    Na-na-na, na-na-soup


    She was the daughter
    Ah-ah-ahhh
    Of a wealthy
    Florentine Pogen
    Po-oh-wo-oh-oh
    Po-oh-wo-oh-oh
    Po-oh-wo-oh-oh
    Ga-ya-ee-annnn

    Read ’em ’n’ weep
    (Take a booger home with you to)
    Read ’em ’n’ weep
    (Take a booger home with you to)
    Read ’em ’n’ weep

    Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
    Ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-HAH
    Ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-HAH


    Chester’s go-rilla
    She go oink
    Chester’s go-rilla
    She go quack
    Chester’s go-rilla
    She go moo
    Chester’s go-rilla
    She go
    Hratche-plche
    Hratche-plche


  7. It’s All About Money - Bobby Slayton
  8. What You’re Doing - The Beatles
  9. Road Trippin’ - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  10. Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
