Screen Door Sunday is Coming…
This is it. The final week of the Palin administration. And while many Alaskans are still fans of the governor, gone are the days of 80% and 90% approval ratings. The gubernatorial vetting process ended up being done by the national media after she’d already been tapped as John McCain’s running mate, and the nation (as well as the state of Alaska) learned a lot.
So now, this polarizing and divisive figurehead, known to us all as the soon-to-be-ex-two-thirds-of-one-term governor Sarah Palin has had enough. She’s packed her bags and is headed for greener pastures. So what’s a state to do?
Celebrate!
I’ve been hearing a lot about “screen door” parties. In other words, “don’t let the screen door hit you on the way out!” Are you having a Screen Door Saturday Party? Or a Screen Door Sunday barbeque? Even if you’re just lifting a glass, let me know. I’ll be posting pictures and short descriptions of your celebration.
For any Mudflatters in Cordova, or looking for a great excuse to go, don’t miss a great party at The Reluctant Fisherman Inn! According to their Facebook page, the festivities will begin at 7pm on Sunday night.
Our Guv’s last day: This is an historic event in the colorful history of Alaskan politics: We got dumped! Our Governor broke up with us. We cannot let the day go by without, well, hell, any excuse for a party!
Costumes, lipstick (and baggage) encouraged. Prizes! for Best in Show-off, Best Pageant Walk, Best Quitter Excuse, and others as we make them up!
The play list sounds awesome. Here are some of my favorite selections. Any other suggestions?
> Would I Lie to You? Eurythmics
> Money (That’s What I Want) Barrett Strong
> Ticket To Ride The Beatles
> You Better Go Now Billie Holiday
> Break On Through (To The Other Side) The Doors
> Leaving Here Eddie Holland
> Go Your Own Way Fleetwood Mac
> Here’s To The Losers Frank Sinatra
> Gone Fishin’ Louis Armstrong
> What’s Going On Marvin Gaye
> 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover Paul Simon
> Slip Slidin’ Away Paul Simon
> It’s All Over Now The Rolling Stones
> Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye Steam
> All Over Phoebe Snow
> 19th Nervous Breakdown Rolling Stones
> You’ve Lost That Lov’n Feeling Righteous Brothers
> So Long, Farewell The Sound of Music
[Thanks to Sandy and Richard, the couple in the video above for sending me the link to "I Feel Quitty!" Crank this one up at the BBQ!]
Pleeeeease have a Mudflat party! I’ll be working and watching along via
internet. (i am so excited for you all!)
May i contribute the following:
“Goin’Down to Texas…(to be one more horse’s ass)” by Shel Silverstein
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place… The Animals (wolves, bears, seals et al!)
Wow !! Sounds like blast !! As far as baggage , black trash bags are the offical “hillbilly/whitetrash luggage”. Can’t wait to see the pics. of this soiree !!
“She’s the Devil in Disguise” by Elvis
Welcome to the Jungle – Guns n Roses
“Here Comes the Sun”–the Beatles
“We Used to be Friends”–the Dandy Warhols
And a song title without a song/artist to go along with it:
“How Can We Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?”
Almost anything Stevie Ray Vaughan…
Couldn’t Stand The Weather… (too hot for her)
Life Without You… (will be that much sweeter)
Coldshot… ( it’s a drag what you done to us, baby!)
Crossfire… (what you’ll be caught up in soon)
Tightrope… (what you’ll be a walkin’)
And for the screendoor party…
This House Is A Rockin’… uninhibited raucus celebrations!
Hoping to celebrate more in 2010 when the people of Alaska actually vote in a proper leader.
This weekend sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’ll be raising a glass with you on this side of the Atlantic.
If you want to preview any of the selected sounds, go to free internet radio, click on “create a new station” and type in the song or artist.
http://www.pandora.com
“Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead” “from Wizard of Oz”
“Cry Me a River” ((many artists, Diana Krull is one)
“You Gotta Have a Gimmick” from “Gypsy”
“Money” (forgot artist – starts with “Money, money, money, MONEEEEY!”)
How about ‘Beat It’ for the play list?
“If I Only Had a Brain” from Wizard of Oz
AC/DC – HIghway To Hell
oops–one more:
“You’re No Good”–the Linda Ronstadt version.
“Feelin’ better,
Now that we’re through,
Feelin’ better,
Now I’m over you
I learned my lesson,
It left a scar,
Now I see,
What you really are,
You’re no good,
You’re no good,
Baby, you’re no good,
(I’m gonna say it again)
You’re no good,
You’re no good,
Baby, you’re no good,
Wish I could be there – I’d play “Quittin’ Time” by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and I’d wear a black skirt, a black suit jacket and a big colorful scarf!
The Great Pretender……don’t know the artist but I think it is from the 50s or 60s.
“When will I be loved” by Linda Ronstadt
Oh, and “Gimme Some Money” by Spinal Tap.
“Some Humans Ain’t Human”- John Prine. Although written for “W” this verse reminds me of quittypants: “Some people ain’t human, some people ain’t kind, you open up their hearts and here’s what you’ll find, A few frozen pizzas, some ice cubes with hair, A broken popsicle, You don’t want to go there….”
Just checked online. The Great Pretender by The Platters. Lyrics are suitable!
“Your So Vain” also is a good one.
“Just Go Away” by Blondy
Weird, they had a garage sale at the Juneau Gov Mansion, but all that they put out were old cookie cutters and pans, a few pairs of “seen better days” Naughty Monkey shoes, ugly rain gear, and some cheap Alaska souvenir trinkets from tourist shops (they wouldn’t even sell the trampoline or the tanning bed – go figure!).
Just teasin’.
“Another one bites the Butt (Dust)”
Runaway… The Coors
Ain’t That A Kick In The Head… Dean Martin
Softly As I Leave You… Frank
Pretend You Don’t See Her… Jerry Vale
Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Goodbye… Steam
This can go on into the night! I must get ready for work! Damn! I’ll only be able to read the comments at work and not reply, so keep it going, Pups!
I’m partying at the Governor’s picnic in Anchorage on Saturday.

Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver
The Ross Perot Guide to Answering Embarrassing Questions
When something in my history is found
Which contradicts the views that I propound
Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be
Here’s what I usually do
Chorus:
I lie
I simply boldly falsify
I look the other feller in the eye
And just deny, deny, deny
I lie
I don t apologize. Not me. Instead
I say I never said the things I said
Nor did the things some people saw me do
When confronted by some things they know are true
Chorus
I hate those weasel words some slickies use
To blur their past or muddy up their views
Not me. I’m blunt. One thing that makes me great
Is that I’ll never dodge nor obfuscate
Chorus

Breakin Up is Hard To Do…I think is old school Neil Sedaka or Captain and Tenille?

She got the gold mine, I got the shaft, by Jerry Reed
I hope when Alaska gets rid of Barbie we are not just getting Ken as a replacement.
> Lori in Los Angeles Says:
> “Money” (forgot artist – starts with “Money, money, money, MONEEEEY!”)
That’s by the OJays, but it’s be sampled by lots of folks.
Money for Nothing by Dire Straits
Well, it’s a party, so have to have Celebration by Kool and the Gang, with lots of jumping up and down and arm raising to go along. I suggest the jump and pump method, (jump up and down and pump the air with one fist in a victory type of motion)
Enjoy the festivities Alaska, you darn well deserve it!
Why not have a party on Sat nite with a Sunday brunch after party? Like in NY?
(If she moves to NYC, she should watch out for the BIG buses.)
Oh how i wish i could be there to help celebrate with you all…We all have to make sure she “NEVER” gets near the WH…LMBO
“Poison Ivy” by the Coasters (warning to those who adore her in the Lower 48, heh heh)
And for those at the party in Cordova: “Bop Til You Drop” (shake til you break it, move til you lose it, dance dance)- not sure who sang it originally, but immortalized by the a capella group The Nylons.
I will be at the Castle Rock Wine Fest (26 CO wineries), so I will hoist a glass or two in salute to celebrating mudpups….
They’re Coming to Take Me Away, by Lard (original br Dr. Demento?)
I’ll be doing my happy dance, raising a glass (or two…also too)… cin cin, clink, cheers! I’ll be blasting all those above mentioned songs… great choices!
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Parasite by KISS
And Sarah Palin is singing:
>My Way – Frank Sinatra
>These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ – Nancy Sinatra
>It’s My Party and I’ll Cry (Whine) if I Want to – Leslie Gore
But the first I thought of is an old folk song:
>So Long, It’s Been Good to Know You – Woody Guthrie (someone more creative than I could change those verses to fit her excuses)
And the rest of us could all join in a chorus of:
>The Hallelujah Chorus (get your music out and start practicing)
Oh, and here’s one you can all sing the next time SP gives a speech. (It’s the one the kids sing in the morning at day camp when the site directors are ready to give the day’s announcements.)
>Announcements, announcements, announcements
A terrible death to die, a terrible death to die
A terrible death to be talked to death
A terrible death to die
Announcements, announcements, announcements!
(Sorry, but day camp starts today and even though I’m no longer a site director, this time of year my brain automatically starts singing weird songs and thinking of goofy things to do.)
Cripe…next summer is my Alaskan vacation…so wish I could be in Cordova this Sunday! By the way….my muddie pals are some of the funniest people I have ever “met”. Almost as funny as Wonkette….no..just as funny, but cleaner.
“Celebration” – Kool and the Gang
“Everyone around the world
Come on!
Yahoo! It’s a celebration
Yahoo!”
“Cold As Ice” ~ Foreigner
I’ll be rasing my glass to all of you from Clearwater, FL in the Sunshine State. Yipee!
Owhole 1: “They’re Coming to Take Me Away” is SO PERFECT!
“to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all day long……….”
A song of disillusionment and heartbreak from the great Chet Atkins:
“I Still Write Your Name in the Snow”
Lori in LA and Owhole1: I”m thinking Money, money, money by Pink Floyd? The one that starts with the cash register?
How about Highway to Hell paired with Stairway to Heaven?
I’ll be at the Portland Brewer’s Fest this weekene. Will definitely raise a glass to all your screen door parties!
And let’s not forget “She’s Come Undone”
“Get Over It”- Eagles
I hate to associate these bands with She Who Shall Not Be Named, but…
“Leaving Town” by Dexter Freebish
“More Than Local Boys” by the Matches
Excellent game – this could go on for ages!
Patience (#55) reminded me of “Get Over It” by OK Go – don’t think we’re talking about the same song, but appropriate all the same.
And here’s a source for some good posters for the events:
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarahpalin/ig/Sarah-Palin-Pictures/
My personal favorite:
http://snipurl.com/nll8o [politicalhumor_about_com]
someone MUST already have done “Crazy” by Patsy Cline, yes?
Hit the Road Jack, and don’t come back no more, No more, no more, And don’t come back no more.
No song titles are included, but good words of advice for the (dearly) Departing Governor:

“Get Gone” Fiona Apple

“Stupid Girl” by Garbage
Sarah McLachlan – Building A Mystery

A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum…”

A song of disillusionment and heartbreak from the great Chet Atkins:

Goodbye, Gov. Winky! Don’t let the screen door hit ya!

this “Money” made me think of the villages this last year:
(Cabaret)
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
If you haven’t any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on the wind
At your fate
When you haven’t any shoes
On your feet
And your coat’s thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds
Underweight.
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes a rap,
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window…
At the window…
Who’s there?
Hunger!
Ooh, hunger!
See how love flies out the door…For
Money makes The world…
…Go around
I’m Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life. Cy Coleman
“Crazy Train” by Ozzie Osborne
“Evil Eyes” by Styx (and others as well)
“Take this job and shove it” by Johnny Paycheck
You better not try to stand in my way
As im a walking out the door.
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
Well… one song title that HAS TO BE in there is this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s99ycqEvGc&feature=related

” I Wanna Be Rich”… by Cab Callaway from the 90′s
” I love money… lots and lots of money….” etc.
Remember Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks?
How can I miss you when you won’t go away?
I keep telling you day after day,
But you won’t listen, you always stay and stay,
ow can I miss you when you won’t go a way?
Let’s hope we don’t have to sing that next week!

” Go Away ‘ Little Girl’ “…SongLyrics dot com says Donny Osmond sang it.
Go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
I’m not supposed to be alone with you.
I know that your lips are sweet,
But our lips must never meet.
I belong to someone else, and I must be true.
Oh, go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
It’s hurtin’ me more each minute that you delay.
When you are near me like this,
You’re much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay.”
When you are near me like this,
You’re much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl.
Call it a day, little girl.
Oh, please, go away, little girl,
Before I beg you to stay.
Go away.

Sarah Palin’s departure is an occasion that just screams for country music, and two songs come to mind:
“Thank God & Greyhound You’re Gone “by Roy Clark
“Take This Job And Shove It” by Johnny Paycheck
We in the Carolinas raise our glass to you. Now if only Gov. Mark Sanford could follow her lead and take his soap opera life out of the state house.
“One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer”-George Thorogood
“Money”- Pink Floyd
“American Idiot”- Green Day
“Freebird”- Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hopefully, “We’re in the Jailhouse now” by Johnny Cash
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/07/palin-speech-edit-200907?currentPage=1
This is a great laugh and read for anyone who gasn’t seen it yet.
My song title….
Twit and Shout….
Not exactly a ‘goodbye song,’ but “Ding-Dong, The Witch Is Dead” from the Wizard of Oz comes to mind as apropo.
“I’m a loser” Beatles…
“Under pressure” Queen
Take This Job and Shove It!
Devil in her heart…Beatles..
Spice Girls – Wannabe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVrIV4SkXYY
“Crazy”- Gnarls Barkley
“She Drives Me Crazy”- Fine Young Cannibals
“You Drive Me Crazy”- Quiet Riot
“You Drive Me Crazy”- Brittney Spears (one crazy woman to another!!)
Hey, it takes awhile to go through 92 GB’s of music on our iTunes
It seems like ” ABBA” was made for $arah…..
Start off with…
” Take a Chance on ‘ ME ‘ ” (Emphasis Added) { Not any more though }
Next up….
” Money, Money , Money ”
Followed up with
” Gimme , Gimme, Gimme ”
And the final ending would be…
” Waterloo ”
$arah’s Waterloo of course could be Lake Lucille instead. Wasn’t THAT a disaster…?… and an end to her Political Future. [ We all hope ]
Did someone already mention “Devil in a blue dress”?
Material Girl!
Hello, I Must Be Going by Groucho Marx
Lost in a Supermarket – Clash.
Hateful – Clash (I have this up as a youtube post; my last post)
What’s that Justin Timberlake song? Cry me a River?
For another chuckle, go to Immoral Minority, and what the You Tube “I Feel Quitty” again (heh heh).
Patience @ 55
“Get Over It” I second that one…
You complain about the present
and blame it on the past.
I’d like to find your inner child
and kick his little ____!
oops. I mean “watch” not “what”. sorry.
Both Tom Petty songs:

Ah-h-h……..you know your country gold.
There is a country radio station here that on Sat. mornings plays all the oldies for 4 hours. It is the most listened to show in Central Texas at that time slot every week. The dj gives a little history on the songs also.too. The really old cool stuff.
That quarter song… here’s a quarter, call someone who cares.

Here is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter, Fred Eaglesmith. It is called “Big Hair.:
Lyrics and chords:
Big Hair – Fred Eaglesmith
play with capo on 2nd fret

Well there’s something about my baby
Bm
I’m not really sure
G
But it makes other people
A
stop and look at her
D
It’s not the way she walks
Bm
It’s not the clothes she wears
G A D
My baby’s got big hair
D
She said it’s her religion
Bm
Well I asked her what that was
G
She said: the higher the hair
A
The closer the God
D
Well I guess there always be some things
Bm
We ain’t gonna share
G A D
My baby’s got big hair
Bm
The other day she’s running

Up on Miller Ridge
Bm
She didn’t check the sign

She got stuck beneath the bridge
D
It took the cops an hour
Bm
To get her out of there
G A D
My baby’s got big hair
Solo’s
D
O when I take her picture
Bm
Just to get her in
G
I turn the camera sideways
A
Use a wide-angle lens
D
It makes people laugh
Bm
But she don’t seem to care
D Bm G A
My baby’s got big hair
D Bm G A
My baby’s got big hair
D Bm G A
My baby’s got big hair
D Bm G A
My baby’s got big hair
OT for a sec- Just wanted to share that while I was posting on Huff P. another mudpuppy said hello.
It was like seeing family in the vastness of the internet sea.
It was really nice to realize the comfort zone one gets into when “mudpuppy” is the common denominator.
Cool to belong. Thanks.

“I want money”- the Flying Lizards version.

This is the craziest song I have ever heard… and this version is the best ever.
Celebrity by Brad Paisley:
Someday, I’m gonna be famous,
Do I have talent? Well, no.
These days you don’t really need it,
Thanks to reality shows.
Can’t wait to date a congressman,
Can’t wait to sue my Dude.
Can’t wait to wreck a Ferrari,
On my way to rehab.
‘Cause when you’re a celebrity, it’s adios reality.
You can act just like a fool;
People think you’re cool just ’cause you’re on TV.
I can throw a major fit,
When my latte isn’t just how I like it.
When they say I’ve gone insane,
I’ll blame it on the pain,
And the pressures that go with bein’ a celebrity.
Ah ha.
I’ll get to cry in Twitter,
When things don’t go my way.
An’ I’ll get community service,
No matter which law I break.
I’ll make the supermarket tabloids,
They’ll write some awful stuff.
But the more they run my name down,
The more my price goes up.
Cuz, when you’re a celebrity, it’s adios reality.
no matter what ya do;
People think you’re cool just ’cause you’re on TV.
Now, I can fall in and out of love,
Have careers that barely last months.
When they go down the drain,
I’ll blame it on the fame,
And say: “It’s just so tough, bein’ a celebrity.”
So let’s hitch up the wagons and head out east,
To the land of fun in the sun.
We’ll be real world hillbillies, jackass millionaires.
Hey, hey Hollywood, here we come.
Yeah, when you’re a celebrity, it’s adios reality.
No matter what you do,
People think you’re cool just ’cause you’re on TV.
Bein’ a celebrity.
Yeah, a celebrity.
Ah ha.
Aw, where’s my Diet Dr. Pepper?
I changed a few words…..to fit with Sarah Palin…
This is really good!
Narcissism: What Makes a Narcissist Tick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCeIAqeWq3Q
I hide I can not relate
I put on a face and I shut the gate.
I won’t confide. I can not debate.
I won’t decide. I procrastinate.
You can’t reach my soul.
It’s down a deep dark hole
and if you love me too well,
I’ll make your life hell.
So well I’ve lived this lie.
No one can tell. Not even I.
My baby’s got the right to ask,
but i wont stop and take off the mask.
…
Beware of Devil Woman
with evil on her mind.
Beware of Devil Woman
she’s gonna get you from behind!
Can we add “Go Now” by the Moody Blues to the list?
Sorry if this has already been posted…in case not, it’s worth a read. Vanity Fair has edited Palin’s resignation speech:
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/07/palin-speech-edit-200907?currentPage=1
Okay, this is bad but I have to post it for all of the palinbot trolls out there and it is CERTAINLY meant to be taken TOTALLY TONGUE IN CHEEK and certainly NOT LITERALLY….Please be kind…
Actually, take it in the manner of the GOP “burying her” and forgetting about her. They did used to love her but no more…
Gun’s and Roses
“I used to love her, but I had to kill her”
“I had to put her, 6 feet under, but in can still hear her complain”
Yes, it’s a misogynistic rock and roll song, but someone else besides me had to be thinking it, right?
No violence involved, rather read it as, burying her political career rather than her actual corpus.
It’s the “I can still hear her complain” line that made me think of the song in the first place.
Whoops more …

How about ‘Twisted’ by Joni Mitchell!
From ‘Twisted’ by Joni Mitchell:
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I’d need treatment
But I’m not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts

Okay, this is bad but I have to post it for all of the palinbot trolls out there and it is CERTAINLY meant to be taken TOTALLY TONGUE IN CHEEK and certainly NOT LITERALLY….Please be kind…
Actually, take it in the manner of the GOP “burying her” and forgetting about her. They did used to love her but no more…

“I used to love her, but I had to kill her”

Oh, tough nuggies on their tender sensibilities. They say more and much much worse about President Obama and FL Michelle. Eff them.
On another note – I have LOVED this song since I first heard it many moons ago. When I comes on the radio in the car, I sing at the top of my lungs and laugh myself silly. It just tickles me.
It strikes me as very à propos for the current situation with Palin v the GOP. LOL

I recommend a little ditty that kept running through my head when Obama won the election and it was clear that we (at least those of us outside Alaska) wouldn’t have to worry about Palin anymore.

how about ‘thank God and greyhound she’s gone.’…………??
Sandy and Richard did the unforgettable video – “Don’t Speak for me, Sarah Palin/ I do not like you” video, sung to the tune of “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” — during the Palin VP spectacle.
AKM: that would be a great addition to a sing along at the ScreenDoor parties this weekend. Do you still have that video archived somewhere???

The play by play of Sarah’s breathy speech announcing she wasn’t going to hang around and be a Quitter.

*************************************************
Too funny !!
I don’t think anyone has mentioned “Barracuda” by Heart.
And this phony cease and desist letter made the rounds when McCain/Palin used the song for campaigning.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/barracuda.asp
Just remembered another great country song for Sarah. Kenny Rogers’ “You PIcked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Lucille.”
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I’ve had some bad times
I’ve lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin’ won’t heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
And she did tender her resignation on the banks of Lake Lucille, so it fits perfectly.
LA BAMBA-BARACK OBAMA came across this as I was on u-tube and looking at oldies but goodies from the fiftys and sixties. Kind of cute I loved Richi Valens ant when they were killed ,Ri9ci,the Big Bopper andBuddy Holly,the day the music stopped
thanks Sandy & Richard….well done…bravo…:D
Wow, So many songs about leaving and being crazy!!
Some one may have mentioned:
Cry Me a River — Best done by Julie London.
Good one for when she comes a$$ draggin’ back to Wasilla after being eaten alive in NYC!!
“Rockin’ Robin”
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin, tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin’ tweet tweetly-tweet
Blow rockin’ robin
‘Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight
Also too, “Witchy Woman” by the Eagles
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She�s a restless spirit on an endless flight
Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
High she flies…
Is there a song called the world’s longest 23 days?
Sorry Richie Valens,The Big Bopper,Buddy Holly and their piolet
Make the World Go Away – appropriate song for the Quitta from Wasillia
gotta add “She’s Crafty” by the Beastie Boys to the playlist:
…I said, “I don’t know her just met her tonight.”
And Adrock started hiding everything in sight
D. pulled me over said, “Hide your gold,
The girl is crafty like ice is cold!”
The girl is crafty – she knows all the moves
I started playing records – she knew all the grooves
He thought she was a thief – and D. was right
But I just figured she’d spend the night
When I woke up late in the afternoon
She had taken all the things from inside his room
I found myself naked in the middle of the floor
She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers
The mirror, the TV, the new guitar cords
My remote control and my old skateboard
She robbed us blind – she took all we owned
And the boys blamed me for bringing her home
I just went through the whole list…incresible play list for your parties!!! Keep the video cams rolling, there’s a great story here.
For those going to the Gov’s Picnic (kinda like the Teddy Bear’s Picnic? Well they had (sad) sack races…and they fell on their faces) Will there be vocal celebrants to let that woman know she’s burned all her bridges to and from nowhere??
You Alaskans know how to do it right! This is hilarious. Enjoy your celebrations on Sunday. You deserve it.
Definitely….”Thank God and Greyhound, You’re Gone.” by Roy Clark
The visual of an ole greyhound pulling up to the gubbner’s mansion in Juneau, loadin’ up Sarah and her brood, and roarin’ off in a cloud of stinky fumes back to Wasilla…..priceless. Take it away, Roy!
Ozzy Osbourne, “Crazy Train”
I’ve listened to preachers
I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you have the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
“Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen.

Too Busy Being Fabulous, Eagles
YOU WERE JUST TOO BUSY BEING FABULOUS
TOO BUSY TO THINK ABOUT US
I love the video. Ha ha ha.
I borrowed it too. It is already flying on my blog.
You made my night.
It is so halarious.
“Juneau the way to San Jose?”
I will think differently about the lyrics of this oldie summer bubble gum song (interestingly enough, penned by Paul Simon for the Seekers):
Red Rubber Ball
I should have known you’d bid me farewell.
There’s a lesson to be learned from this
and I’ve learned it very well.
Now I know you’re not
the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again
it’s all the same to me.
And I think it’s gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
You never cared for secrets I’d confide.
For you I’m just an ornament,
Something for your pride.
Always running, never caring,
That’s the life you live.
Stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.
And I think it’s gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
The story’s in the past with nothing to recall.
I’ve got my life to live and I
don’t need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is
nearly at an end.
I bought my ticket with my tears,
that’s all I’m gonna spend.
And I think it’s gonna be all right.
Yeah, the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.
And one for the sheer joy of her stepping down….

You can try and try,

Should be: He’ll always ask, he’ll ALWAYS say “please”…
