Wow. if this is what's stuck in yer head today you need a brain enema! But...this is what I love about humans. We're capable of both great beauty and, well, otherwise. Life's rich pageant and all that.
Hey...trying to spin gold from dross...any other song titles that reference other musicians? I offer "I Agree With Pat Metheny" by Richard Thompson. Hysterical lyrics can be found here:
sorry sal - sometimes i just can't bring myself to listen to something that will haunt me (and those sround me) for the rest of my life......i vaguely remember ray's "stuff" and i'd like to keep it that way......"vague". otherwise, i'll be humming it later..... or whistling it...... or singing the words i hoped i had forgotten!!! gmb
"Itemize the things you covet As you squander through your life Bigger cars, bigger houses Term insurance for your wife Tuesday evenings with your harlot And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan analyst, he's high upon your list"

As parodies go, this Ray Stevens tune is pretty good, though the RT is better.

Now *that's* stuck in my head. Thanks, Sal! :-/
I'm going to pass. I have a hangover and I'm sure it won't help.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings about Ray Stevens remain unchanged after this listening. Thanks for confirming for me Sal.
