Basically, I believe in peace, and bashing two bricks together.
“Weird Al” Yankovic - “Dare to Be Stupid”
from Dare to Be Stupid
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
Then party ‘til you’re broke and they drag you away
It’s okay — you can dare to be stupid
Today’s anthem for living is brought to you by childhood nostalgia and being sick of having to be responsible all the time.
It’s kinda nice out here in Southern New England — a little cool, but I’ll take it — and I was driving around with my windows down, as I am wont to do, when “Old Time Rock ‘n’ Roll” came up. I will not apologize for how much I love that song. Or for the fact that I was singing it even after I got out of the car and went into Walgreens. Pandora’s ’70s Rock Radio station is currently killing it, as well (“Can’t You See,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” “Falling In and Out of Love,” “Rock’n Me”).
Just ain’t no problem a little rock ‘n’ roll can’t cure.
There are nights I look at what I’ve been listening to and even I can’t take myself seriously anymore.
The Doobie Brothers - “Black Water”
from What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits
I’d like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand

Top Text: “First name is ‘Caroline’.”
Bottom Text: “Get to hear customers sing ‘Sweet Caroline’ at least once a week.”This isn’t as much of a rage thing as much as it is mildly annoying. Yeah, first it felt flattering but after the fiftieth time it’s gotten tiring. Yes folks, I HAVE heard of that song. I’ve been aware of it since my birth and all the adults I’ve ever talked to singing it. I appreciate the compliment but just because I’m younger than you doesn’t mean I don’t know about Niel Diamond.
Do any other Robins that share that name have to deal with this too? Or even other customers singing songs with their name?
I have a song name but thankfully(?) it isn’t one anyone cares about. (It’s a good song!)
but I fucking hate “You’re the Inspiration”
and it was playing in the supermarket
YOU CAN’T RHYME “LIFE”
WITH “LIFE”
PETER CETERA
YOU DICK
Pure Prairie League - “Amie”
from Bustin’ Out
Now it’s come to what you want, you’ve had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see that I don’t know if it’s you or if it’s me
If it’s one of us I’m sure we both will see
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - “Waltz Limp”
from Countdown: Time in Outer Space
I really wanted to hear this today. I don’t know why. I just did. Music is funny like that sometimes.
I FUCKING HATE THIS SONG. I got into a major argument with one of my sister’s idiot friends last year about it because she thought it was just ~*oh so romantic*~ and I thought it was ~*oh so date rapey*~ and apparently I “just didn’t understand that that’s how things were back then.” Oh. I didn’t know that was an excuse!
Also: 1. “What’s the sense in hurting my pride?” 2. “If you caught pneumonia and died…” Way to be morbid and selfish, there, duder. Also the whole bit where her excuses are based around what her family is going to think JUST LEAVEWOMAN YOUR FAMILY IS BESIDE THE POINT GOD I HATE THIS SONG
I have to listen to this fucking song seventeen times a day, I shit you not: this version and this version and this other version and also this version and probably more I’ve blocked out of my brain. It’s enough to make me miss “Shake Hands with Santa Claus.”
