And apropos of whatever, do I sound as condescending as PLF?

You are a rank amateur. Do not even try.

Garage a Trois is a funk/jam band/dance music experiment by Charlie Hunter (guitar prodigy) and Stanton Moore (awesome Galactic drummer) and some other dude or dudes. You can go to their record label web site and check out some of their stuff. I did that when they came to town and, on that basis, decided to skip the show. Not terrible, just a little aimless. Probably better live, though.

Did you think Toyota would leave in the full lyrics of the song in their ads, including:

"We'll be lookin flashy in my Mercedes Benz"

?

Wow, I have only heard that song on Ballys and Toyta commecials apprently bc I had no idea there were any other lyrics. Bizarre bc I feel like I hear that song all the time. I guess its bc I watch tv and then i see the commercial and it sticks lke glue.

THen lets go with this:
Charlene
I've Never Been To Me

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

I highly recommend Stanton Moore's album Flying the Koop. It's very interesting rhythmically.

I think that's the best choice yet.

I do like when he sings it at the beginning of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert though.

I didn't mishear this personally, but supposedly one of more famous misheard lyrics is from "Purple Haze":

"Excuse me, while I kiss this guy."

What really pisses me off about that song is the whole "hey, I had a lotta fun doing glamorous shit that your fat suburban ass will never do, but now I wish that I had a guy with a nine-to-five job keeping me under his thumb with multiple brats at home" anti-independent woman subtext.

That being said, gwnc, I happen to *like* (in a non-ironic way, too) Janis Ian's incredibly depressing yet accurate "At Seventeen." You were one of those beauty queens with clear skinned smiles, you Miss Toronto Legs girl, you.

Edited to note that I was responding to two posts, yet only quoted one. I apologize for any confusion caused by my excessive consumption of wine at a lunch where I allegedly propositioned an "exotic-looking" yet married with kids associate.

Dear FB,

I returned to the FB today to read the crackling banter and stunning wit that I have come to expect with each visit.

What I found, however, is arguably the most uninspired thread ever woven through the FB (infirmation or lawtalkers): Most stupid song. The word "thread" applied here, however, is a misnomer and also an insult to the concept of an Internet forum thread. It is more like the clogging fibrous threads of asbestos, filling the reader's mind with toxic numbness and causing mental asphyxiation from the carcinogenic banality of it all.

Let me make this point clear: Nobody cares about your pick for stupid song. In fact, nobody cares about your favorite song. Nobody cares what song you listen to on your commute. Nobody cares what song was playing when you fucked for the first time. And nobody cares less about more than that - I am willing to wager that nobody cares about you at all. Especially yourself, as is evident by your self-degrading willingness to go on ad nauseum about how stupid songs are.

It is disappointing. It is amateur. It is hack: "Hey! Whaaat's the deal with these STUPID SONGS? I mean, come on! Where DO these songs come from? Who ARE these people? Are they on DRUGS? These SONGS are SOOOO STUPID!"

There are other groups of workers out there who have no Internet message board that have a million interesting things to say and would kill for the opportunity. A group of accountants somewhere could be chomping at the bit to anonymously discuss pube waxing with their peers. A gaggle of steel workers might be eager to have an online discourse about bad experiences with ass fucking. And perhaps - just perhaps - the rabbis of the world would enjoy some faceless bbs chat with other rabbis (and a cantor here and there) about snowballing.

And then there are the attorneys. We are given a free forum to discuss whatever you want. What happened to the sex talk? What happened to the excruciating trolling and flaming? Oh, I forgot. It suddenly became more important to discuss stupid songs. Did I say "discuss"? By "discuss", I meant "post lyrics to songs instead of engaging in any real discussion of them.

You used to be good, FB.

But now, you make me sick. Like a dog.

Fuck you.

Noooooo. You cannot give the dumbest song award to a touching ode to the Chevy 409 engine -- perhaps one of the greatest engines ever built (can anyone say 4:56 gears ... woohoo). I have dreams about the 1964 Impala SS with 409...SCHWEET...dual four barrel monster offering 425 bhp...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh :drool:

If you were hot and were wearing a thong, chef would have just splooged all over himself.

A friend of mine's computer was running a little slow, so he looked around on his files. Someone had hacked into it so they could host a movie for file sharing.

The worst part? The movie was Kangaroo Jack.

So . . . What's the stupidest song you've ever heard while having your pubes waxes by snoballing steelworkers? Personally, I nominate "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes.

Apropos of, oh, what the hell. It's my understanding that the Pina Colada is the new trendy drink among snowballing steelworkers with waxed pubes*, NTTAWWWT.

*But only those on the East Coast, so it's not passe -- yet.

You are a weird yet lovable drunkard, not Bob.

And not fair. I was very popular with boys when I was 17. But so was every other girl who put out as much as I did. Nothing to do with looks.

Sure you can, although I think Thurgreed failed to define the terms of the poll...Thurgreed seems to have nominated songs that are stupid/offensive. The lyrics are a bit more verbally rich, but the words used aren't put to good use. That makes deciding a bit more difficult. I might see Thurgreed's R. Kelly nomination with a Billy Ocean-"Get into my Car" nomination of my own.

My polls mean different things to different people. If you tailor it too narrowly, you chill participation.
