John Lennon

J is for John Lennon. This is one of my favorite songs right now, simply amazing.

“Goddddddddd I mean how predictable blahhhh” I’ll save you the trouble on that comment.  Who are your J’s?

“We’re playing those mind games together Pushing the barriers, planting seeds Playing the mind guerrilla Chanting the mantra, peace on earth We all been playing those mind games forever Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil Doing the mind guerrilla Some call it magic, the search for the grail Love is the answer and you know that for sure Love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow So keep on playing those mind games together Faith in the future, outta the now You just can’t beat on those mind guerrillas Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever Projecting our images in space and in time Yes is the answer and you know that for sure Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go So keep on playing those mind games together Doing the ritual dance in the sun Millions of mind guerrillas Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel Keep on playing those mind games forever Raising the spirit of peace and love Love… (I want you to make love, not war, I know you’ve heard it before)”

Christmas

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I hadn’t had a home cooked meal or played, and lost so badly to a seven year old at wii, in quite sometime. Onward though, I bet you didn’t think i’d come up with one for U. I almost didn’t, but I remembered someone that everyone knows, probably without knowing.

U is for…Ukulele Ike

Ukulele Ike – “I’m a bear in a lady’s boudoir”

Even Though his real name was Cliff Edwards he went by Ukelele Ike for quite sometime in his professional career. He sung such classics as “Singing in the Rain” and “When You Wish Upon a Star”. He was also the voice of Jiminy Cricket. Told you you’d know him.

I picked this song though because of the lyrics, in the 1930s this stuff was considered to be pretty risque, here’s the first verse:

“You may talk about your colleges, fair Harvard and old Yale, And all the universities who’s banners brave the gale,And all the football heroes, their glory and renown;I never went to college, but I know I’ve been to town.I may not be a football hero,But I’m a star with the beautiful girls;You never see me in the thick of a fight,‘Cause I do my scoring mostly at night.”

“I’m a bear in a ladies boudoir”

Quote of the day

“With the breakdown of the Medieval system, the gods of Chaos, Lunacy, and Bad Taste gained ascendancy. What had once been dedicated to the soul was now dedicated to the sale.”
