FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Welcome once again to Blog d’Elisson’s Friday Random Ten, the weekly feature in which I post Randomly Selected Choons from the Little White Choon-Box d’Elisson.

What’s playing today? Whaddaya say we take a look-see:
  1. Let’s Make The Water Turn Black - Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart

    Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true
    I want everyone to listen and believe
    It’s about some little people from a long time ago
    And all the things the neighbors didn’t know
    Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work
    Selling lamps and chairs to San Ber’dino squares
    And I still remember Mama with her apron and her pad
    Feeding all the boys at Ed’s Cafe!
    Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day.
    (Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
    And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
    KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!
    Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
    (A marvel to be seen: dysentery green)
    While Kenny and his buddies play a game out in the back:
    LET’S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK
    We see them after school in a world of their own
    (To some it might seem creepy what they do...)
    The neighbors on the right sat and watched them every night
    (I bet you’d do the same if they was you)
    Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day
    (Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
    And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
    KENNY’S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!
    Ronnie’s in the Army now and Kenny’s taking pills
    Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn!
    Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
    (Wait till the fire turns green...wait till the fire turns green)
    WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!

  2. I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - Genesis
  3. Cultural Dub - Linton Kwesi Johnson
  4. Soon As I Get Paid - Keb’ Mo’
  5. Bullet In The Head - Rage Against The Machine
  6. Bananaphone - Raffi

    Caution! Dangerous earworm!

  7. You Really Got A Hold On Me - The Beatles
  8. Quality Time - Bobby Slayton
  9. Lakeus - Alamaailman Vasarat
  10. Lick My Decals Off, Baby - Captain Beefheart
It’s Friday. What are you listening to?
