FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Is it Friday yet? Why, so it is!

And you know what that means. It’s time for me to post the Friday Random Ten, that curious assemblage of Musical Miscellany as horked up by the iPod d’Elisson.

Tomorrow morning, She Who Must Be Obeyed and I will set forth upon the interstate highway and journey down to Savannah, there to spend Mother’s Day Weekend with the Mistress of Sarcasm. Not only will we be celebrating Mother’s Day, we’ll also be tipping a glass or two in honor of Elder Daughter - my recent Traveling Companion - who celebrates the completion of twenty-nine circuits around the Sun on that selfsame day.

Meanwhile, let’s see what’s on the box today. Check it out:

10. I Want You To Hurt Like I Do - Randy Newman
    
    I ran out on my children
    And I ran out on my wife
    Gonna run out on you too, baby
    I done it all my life
    Everybody cried the night I left
    Well, almost everybody did
    My little boy just hung his head
    And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
    And this is what I said:
    Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do
    I just want you to hurt like I do
    I just want you to hurt like I do
    Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do
    
    If I had one wish
    One dream I knew would come true
    I’d want to speak to all the people of the world
    I’d get up there, I’d get up there on that platform
    First I’d sing a song or two you know I would
    Then I’ll tell you what I’d do
    I’d talk to the people and I’d say
    Its a rough rough world, its a tough tough world
    Well, you know
    And things don’t always, things don’t always go the way we plan
    But there’s one thing, one thing we all have in common
    And it’s something everyone can understand
    All over the world sing along
    
    I just want you to hurt like I do
    I just want you to hurt like I do
    I just want you to hurt like I do
    Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do
    
    

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
