FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

It’s Friday, time yet again for the Friday Random Ten. That’s where I put up a list of Randomly-Generated Tunage barfed out by my Little White Choon-Box. The point (and there is one) is to give you a bit of insight into my musical tastes... or at least, a peek at the contents of my iPod. Whether that is meaningful to you or not is another question.

This weekend, we’ll be relaxing at home for once, having spent all too much time on the road in recent weeks. “Relaxing,” of course, is a relative term, as She Who Must Be Obeyed prepares to host a wedding shower for the daughter of our friends Marc and Shelly. It will be, in part, a Wine-Tasting shower, so my Sommelier Guild expertise and contacts will prove useful.

Meanwhile, what’s playing today? Let’s take a look, shall we?

    Ты называешь меня говнюком
    Да, я все время бухой
    И твою жопу при людях хватаю
    Своей волосатой рукой.
    
    Да, мои ноги вонючие палки
    На которых все в дырках носки
    А эти две кучи из пыли и грязи -
    Это мои башмаки.
    
    Да, ты права, я - дикий мужчина,
    Ты права, я - дикий мужчина,
    Ты права, я - дикий мужчина:
    Яйца, табак, перегар и щетина
    
    Да, ты права, я - дикий мужчина,
    Ты права, я - дикий мужчина,
    Ты права, я - дикий мужчина:
    Яйца, табак, перегар и щетина
    
    

It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
