FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Wow, Friday already? So it is.

By now, you probably know what that means. It’s time for this week’s Morass o’ Musical Mungitude as disgorged by my very own Little White Choon-Box. Yes, it’s the Friday Random Ten!

The summer is beginning to wind down here at Chez Elisson, with She Who Must Be Obeyed returning to work this coming Monday. The Mistress of Sarcasm is busily painting her room here, after having finished cleaning out the basement, our pantry, and half of the closets...and setting up a studio. Wow, what energy! It borders on the obnoxious.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend, a weekend during which I expect to commune with the spirits of Poetry, Music, Single Malt Whisky, and Smoked Meats. And, speaking of music, what’s on the box this week?

1. I Missed The Bus - Skankin’ Pickle
   
   
2. I Am A Rock - Simon & Garfunkel
   
   
3. Who’s The Boss - Bobby Slayton
   
   
4. Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles
   
   
5. How To Be Dumb - Elvis Costello

9. Pachalafaka - Soupy Sales
   
   Pachalafaka, pachalafaka
   They whisper it all over Turkey
   Pachalafaka, pachalafaka
   It sounds so romantic and perky
   Oh, I know that phrase
   Will make me thrill always
   For it reminds me of you, my sweet
   Just the mention of
   That tender word of love
   Gives my heart a jerkish, Turkish beat
   
   I won’t say “c’est bon”
   Or “l’amour toujours”
   For they can’t express what I’m feeling
   Even “mairzy doats” or
   Other foreign quotes
   Don’t seem to be quite so appealing
   But pachalafaka, pachalafaka!
   Takes me back with you to passionate desert scenes
   And it’s there we’ll stay
   Till the very day
   We find out what pachalafaka means!
   
   
10. Prince Nez - Squirrel Nut Zippers
    
    

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
