Yes, indeedy, Esteemed Readers...not only is it Friday - time yet again for the weekly Menagerie o’ Musical Miscellany spewed directly from the tuneful bowels of the iPod d’Elisson - but it is also the weekend before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Which means doodly-squat vis-à-vis the music on my iPod...but it does mean that there is a certain amount of Hustle ’n’ Bustle here at Chez Elisson, for we are preparing for an onslaught of family, AKA “Mushpucker” in the Texas version of Yiddish.
The Momma d’SWMBO and her husband David will be flying in tomorrow, and as if that were not amusement enough, the Mistress of Sarcasm and boyfriend Gilad will also be swooping down from their central Tennessee aerie.
SWMBO has already baked her ridiculously delicious Cherry Cake for the occasion, to be followed by a braised brisket, chicken soup with matzoh balls, and all manner of other Good Things to be devoured en masse Monday evening as the holiday gets underway.
Meanwhile, however, we got us some Choons to listen to:

- Native Son - The Judybats
- Too Much Too Young (Live) - The Specials
You’ve done too much
Much too young
Now you’re married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
(oh no, no gimme no more pickni)
You’ve done too much
Much too young
And now you’re married with a son
When you should be having fun with me
(we don’t want, we don’t want
we don’t want no more pickni)
Ain’t he cute?
No he ain’t
He’s just another burden
On the welfare state
You’ve done too much
Much too young
Now you’re married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
(no gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickni)
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I’d love to spread manure
In your bed of roses
Don’t want to be rich
Don’t want to be famous
But I’d really hate
To have the same name as you
(you silly moo)
You’ve done too much
Much too young
Now you’re married with a kid
When you could be having fun with me
(gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni)
You’ve done too much
Much too young
Now you’re chained to the cooker
Making currant buns for tea
(oh no, no gimme no more pickni)
Ain’t you heard of the starving millions
Ain’t you heard of contraception
Do you really wanna go with the sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It’s in your living room
Keep a generation gap
