Catch-All Anything Thread

[Texsox]

Just found a splinter of wood in my sammich.  Scared the hell outta me because I thought I broke another bracker.  It still sucks because I made my sammich and I damn well know I didn't put that there. 

 

That's called a toothpick, people use it to keep the two halves of the sammich together.

Sheez, what planet did she drop in from?

[Kid Gleason]

When the hell did everybody in the world start calling the damn things "sammich"!?! I swear to God, I am pretty sure it's kind of like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers but instead of people being replaced by emotionless Pod People overnight, the world was replaced by Pod People who love the word "sammich"!

This song has always baffled me. Always.

 

ODE TO BILLY JOE

(Bobbie Gentry)

© Northridge Music Company / Universal MCA Publishing.

From "Ode To Billy Joe," Bobby Gentry, © 1967, Capitol.

 

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day.

I was out chopping cotton and my brother was baling hay.

And at dinnertime we stopped and walked back to the house to eat.

And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet,"

And then she said "I got some news this morning from Choctaw Ridge,"

"Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."

 

And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black-eyed peas:

"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please."

"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow."

And Mama said it was a shame about Billy Joe, anyhow.

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge.

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

 

And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe,

Had put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show.

And wasn't I talking to him after church last Sunday night?

"I'll have another piece of apple pie; you know it don't seem right.

"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge,

"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."

 

And Mama said to me: "Child, what's happened to your appetite?

"I've been cooking all morning and you haven't touched a single bite.

"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today.

"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way.

"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge.

"And she and Billy Joe was throwing something off the Tallahatchie Bridge."

 

A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe,

And brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo.

There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring.

And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything.

And me, I spend a lot of time picking flowers up on Choctaw Ridge.

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

I have always seen that song as a lesson in how differently even family members view the same event. I imagine that the girl and Billy Joe were in love and he committed suicide. While the rest of the family barely noticed, she was in pain and mourned him a year later. In a turnabout, she views the death of her father and her mom's lack of coping the same way they treated her boyfriend's suicide. Kind of a "Cat's in the Cradle" lesson.

 

I've always wondered what Shook Me All Night Long was about.

 

AC/DC

Back in Black (1980)

You Shook Me All Night Long

 

She was a fast machine

She kept her motor clean

She was the best damn woman I had ever seen

She had the sightless eyes

Telling me no lies

Knockin' me out with those American thighs

Taking more than her share

Had me fighting for air

She told me to come but I was already there

 

'Cause the walls start shaking

The earth was quaking

My mind was aching

And we were making it and you -

 

Shook me all night long

 

Working double time

On the seduction line

She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine

She wanted no applause

Just another course

Made a meal out of me and came back for more

Had to cool me down

To take another round

Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

 

'Cause the walls were shaking

The earth was quaking

My mind was aching

And we were making it and you -

 

Shook me all night long

I always thought the girl had Billy Joe whacked.

when people get 3 wishes there stupid on the first wish they should always wish for unlimited wishes

But doesn't the Genie tell you that one of the rules is that you can't wish for unlimited wishes?

[Texsox]

I always thought the girl had Billy Joe whacked. 

 

I was justing thinking is the world would have been better if she had Billy Joel wacked.

 

What's the matter with the songs he's singin'

Can't you tell that they're pretty lame

After listenin' to a couple albums

Well, they all start to sound the same

 

So he tried to change his musical style

He tossed all his ballads in the circular file

Then he found the punk sound

Breakin' ground all around

It's still Billy Joel to me

 

What's the matter with the tune he's writin'

Well, you know it's gonna be a smash

It's so nice when you're a big name artist

Doesn't matter if it sounds like trash

 

Now everybody thinks the new wave is super

Just ask Linda Ronstadt or even Alice Cooper

It's a big hit, isn't it

Even if it's a piece of junk

It's still Billy Joel to me

 

Woah, it doesn't matter what the critics say about him

'Cause he doesn't worry how they feel

When you're record's sellin' millions and it's goin' triple platinum

You don't worry 'bout your next meal

'Cause money is no big deal

 

Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink

And stick a safety pin through his cheeks

Then he'd really fit the new wave image

But he couldn't sit down for weeks

 

Don't you know about the record business, honey

You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money

Now everybody's sayin' that he sure sounds funny

But it's still Billy Joel to me

 

All right, Alfred

Oh

 

I can hardly wait 'til his next album

Well, I'll bet it's gonna be the rage

Buy a ticket to his next big concert

Well, I wonder what he'll do on stage

 

It might be disco and it might be the blues

Or maybe even somethin' like the B-52's

Just a handclap, finger snap

Even if it's mindless pap

It's still Billy Joel to me

 

Everybody's sayin' that he sure sounds funny

But it's still Billy Joel to me

Since we're talking about lyrics, how about these??? I love these, Carl Perkins was such a badass!!!

 

DIXIE FRIED

Written by Carl Perkins)

 

On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.

Dan dropped in about five o'clock.

Took off his jacket, said "The night is short."

He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.

 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats," he cried.

"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.

Let's all get Dixie fried."

 

Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.

He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving.

And all the cats knew to jump and hop,

Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.

 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats," he cried.

"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.

Let's all get Dixie fried."

 

Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout.

They all ran in to see what it was about.

And I heard him holler as they led him away.

He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.

 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats," he cried.

"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.

Let's all get Dixie fried."

 

Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.

He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.

The black dog barked, but the boy didn't flinch.

He said "It ain't my fault, hon, that I been pinched."

 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!

Rave on, cats," he cried.

"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.

Let's all get Dixie fried."

"Yeah, it's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone,

And I've been Dixie fried

I ain't got no matches, but I sure got a long way to go.

[Kalapse]

Ryan Dempster does a s***ty Harry Caray however he is better than Will Ferrell who's Harry Caray impression is vastly overrated.

[Texsox]

I ain't got no matches, but I sure got a long way to go.

 

Ain't nobody here that will be your little dog

 

But . . .

You can burn my house,

Steal my car,

Drink my liquor

From an old fruitjar.

[Kid Gleason]

[FlaSoxxJim]

Ain't nobody here that will be your little dog 

 

But . . .

You can burn my house,

Steal my car,

Drink my liquor

From an old fruitjar.

 

Well I love you baby on a Saturday night. Sunday morning you don't look right.
