Welcome to the first 2008 installment of Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, in which I post a list of ten songs spewed out randomly from the little white Choon Box d’Elisson.
I am enjoying the last Friday of vacation before I resume my quotidian labors in the caverns of the Great Corporate Salt Mine. Well, not enjoying, exactly...owing to a physical complaint that reared its ugly head yesterday morning. Look to the lyrics below for a clue!
Now, what’s on the box today? Let’s take a listen:
I am enjoying the last Friday of vacation before I resume my quotidian labors in the caverns of the Great Corporate Salt Mine. Well, not enjoying, exactly...owing to a physical complaint that reared its ugly head yesterday morning. Look to the lyrics below for a clue!
Now, what’s on the box today? Let’s take a listen:
- No Sleep Blues - The Incredible String Band
Cracks rack the windows,
Howls hold the floor;
Rains rot the rafters,
And do you just have to snore?
It’s a most inclement climate,
For the kidney of the stone,
Is that mouse playing football, oh
I thought they didn’t like the ’phone?
CHORUS:
And the dawn comes sneaking up
When it thinks I’m not looking;
I am starting to grieve, man,
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas,
And if I want to lay down,
But I’m sorry I woke you,
I mean I’ve got the no sleep blues.
There’s mayhem in this mansion,
Since the cows were coming home,
With delirium no sleepum,
In a cloud of nylon foam.
But release scours the outhouse,
And a hard rain sears the sky,
But if you let the pigs decide it,
They will put you in the sty.
CHORUS
I think I’ll get a picture,
And I think I’ll put it on a nail.
I think I’ll get another one,
And put it in a pail.
But the pail got so rusty
I called it red, red, red for fun,
And I laughed like a leaver
’Til you ought to seen it run.
CHORUS
The size of the future declared itself no part,
Aloof like a Sultan in the autumn of your heart,
But the heart got so hearty,
That it pulled for the shore,
And the sailors fired a big salute,
And it made my ears quite sore.
CHORUS
I mixed stones and water
Just to see what it would do.
And the water it got stoney,
And the stones got watery too.
So I mixed my feet with water
Just to see what could be seen,
And the water it got dirty,
And the feet they got quite clean.
CHORUS - Evenstar (featuring Isabel Bayrakdarian) - Howard Shore, The Two Towers
- Get On Top - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Get on Top
Get on Top
Hit me come get me I bite but she bit me
Go-rilla cunt-illa
Sammy D and Salmonella
Come with me ’cause I’m an ass killer
You’re ill but I'm iller
I’ll malinger on your block and
Give the finger to a cop and
Pick a lock before I knock and
Set you up to get on top
CHORUS:
Complications of a mastermind
Last temptation of my kind
Extra planetary sign
When do we align
All in time
Right on
Get up come sit up I light but she lit up
Grass Hopper Show Stopper
The life of a Wife Swapper
Come with me ’cause I’m a big bopper
You do but I wopper
Exterminate my cause
You want to draw some straws
Be the one to see my flaws
Make me bleed with painted claws
CHORUS
Get on Top
Get on Top
Hit me come get me I bite but she bit me
Speed Baller Rhodes Scholar
Kidney Stone And a Bottom Dollar
Come with me ’cause I’m a Free Faller
You hoot but I holler
I’ll malinger on your block
Give the finger to a cop and
Pick a lock before I knock on
Set you up to get on top
Get on Top - A Night In Tunisia - Dizzy Gillespie
- Rikki Don’t Lose That Number - Steely Dan
We hear you’re leaving, that’s OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a kidney stone
CHORUS:
Rikki don’t lose that number
You don’t wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don’t lose that number
It’s the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
I have a friend in town, he’s heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don’t know
And you could have a kidney stone
CHORUS
You tell yourself you’re not my kind
But you don’t even know your mind
And you could have a kidney stone
CHORUS - Kids - Bill Hicks
- Lakeus - Alamaailman Vasarat
- Big Swifty - Frank Zappa
- Club Limbo - Squirrel Nut Zippers
- Sparkle - Phish
