Hey Blur, modern life is rubbish on this side of the pond, as well.

Mike,
You were on a basketball team? How is that possible, you're like 3-feet tall?

Haha. I was going to explain this in my original comment, so it's funny that you brought it up. OK, I have been 5'2" since I was 11-years-old. At that age, I was average height compared to the other girls and was fairly decent at basketball. But, by ninth grade, most everyone else had caught up (and passed me), so I was a third-string shooting guard. I think I probably scored about 7 total points the whole season.

Alas, there won't be any touring for us, but I'm not giving up my karaoke dreams.

Hi Katy,
Glad you liked the song. One of my housemates was listening to it the other night. It's weird to hear your own music being played in someone else's room. Sometimes I get my own song stuck in my head, which is odd, too.

if Aaron starts using your song, you get part of the royalties, ya know.

That lawsuit could get ugly.

Hi Aaron,
I don't know the chords since I don't play guitar, but I can ask Curtis.

You're already a Funky Munky, I see no reason you can't sit in with the Glorified Apes next time your in SoCal...

Sounds great! That's so cool that we are both in bands (ok, so mine was sorta fake) with names referring to primates. It just shows how highly evolved we are. ;)

Cheers,
Becky

Ooh, yeah, that song rules. It was my 9th grade basketball team's theme song.

You're a big fan of that song, aren't you?

I know how to play it on the gee-tar, if that's what you mean.

A guy in a suit in his hummer using his faux chocolate shake to wash down that prozac.

Yeah, when I see unnecessarily large SUVs like that, I just want to pee on them. That guy in the suit probably pays a ton of money each month to belong to a gym and then drives his polluting vehicle there. If he walked and enjoyed nature, maybe he wouldn't need to go to the gym.

OK, it wasn't a real gong. We used one of the cymbals on the drum set and hit it with a phone (yes, a phone) to make it sound like a gong.

Cheers,

i amended a spray-painted "Free Mumia" graffiti to read "Free Mumia With Every Purchase".

That's hilarious. I heard recently that they had to change the name of the "Free Tibet" concert because people kept asking for their "free tibbett."

People are dumb.

But I'm a big fan of Kool and the Gang's 'Jungle Boogie', which begins with a gong.

Ooh, yeah, that song rules. It was my 9th grade basketball team's theme song.

kick out the jams, motherfunker

You're a big fan of that song, aren't you?

I'm imagining Dick Cheney keeling over on his Big Mac and prozac milkshake.

Aargh. He is pure evil.

Glad you liked this.

Becky, these lyrics are terrific! I'd love to hear the recording... love it even more if I coulda seen the performance! I'm forwarding your review to my kids. They should get a kick out of this!

Pssst... if Aaron starts using your song, you get part of the royalties, ya know. Demand 'em! LOL

So just eat that Big Mac, chase it down with a Prozac

I love this visual image. A guy in a suit in his hummer using his faux chocolate shake to wash down that prozac. Love it.

Funk on, Becky -

Once, back in Iowa City, i amended a spray-painted "Free Mumia" graffiti to read "Free Mumia With Every Purchase". I am glad to recognize a kindred (yet much longer-winded) spirit. Rock on!

Well, it's hardly "Free your mind and your ass will follow", but this bit of lyrical funkitude gets a ringing endorsement from yours truly.

Plus, how can you take any song seriously that ends with a gong?

I don't know about that. But I'm a big fan of Kool and the Gang's 'Jungle Boogie', which begins with a gong. Does that count?
