it's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out

Music-related thinky thoughts of the day:

I walked into Bob's Discount Furniture, and ABBA's "Dancing Queen" was playing. All I could think was: When did Dean Pelton start working at Bob's Discount Furniture, and should I be concerned about zombies?

Then I drove to Home Depot, during which time I heard Blind Melon's "No Rain" on WBLM, the classic rock station. NO RAIN IS NOT CLASSIC ROCK. I am too young for that to be on the Classic Rock station.

And then, in Home Depot, their Muzak was playing -- well --

@WillBeFunOrElse: HOLY SHIT HOME DEPOT IS PLAYING THE THEME SONG TO THE BARRY GIBB TALK SHOW
@WillBeFunOrElse: I ... did not realize that was a real song.

And finally, I have realized why I have such a soft spot for Ke$ha's song "Blow." And no, it's not because James Van Der Beek is in the video (although it helps). No, it's because -- for some, unexplainable reason, please don't ask me how my logic got to this -- when I listen to the song, all I see in my head is a kick-ass chick killing a bunch of zombies in a ballroom. Like, in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: there's a scene where the Bennet sisters are attending a ball, and a passel of zombies begin streaming in.

No, seriously: queue up the video I just linked you to, and read the following section underneath:But no sooner had she grabbed the handle of her weapon than a chorus of screams filled the assembly hall, immediately joined by the shattering of window panes. Unmentionables poured in, their movements clumsy yet swift; their burial clothing in a range of untidiness. [...] Their flesh was in varying degrees of putrefaction; the freshly stricken were slightly green and pliant, whereas the longer dead were grey and brittle--their eyes and tongues long since turned to dust, and their lips pulled back into everlasting skeletal smiles.

A few of the guests, who had the misfortune of being too near the windows, were seized and feasted on at once. When Elizabeth stood, she saw Mrs. Long struggle to free herself as two female dreadfuls bit into her head, cracking her skull like a walnut, and sending a shower of dark blood spouting as high as the chandeliers.

As guests fled in every direction, Mr. Bennet's voice cut through the commotion. "Girls! Pentagram of Death!"

Elizabeth immediately joined her four sisters, Jane, Mary, Catherine, and Lydia, in the center of the dance floor. Each girl produced a dagger from her ankle and stood at the tip of an imaginary five-pointed star. From the center of the room, they began stepping outward in unison--each thrusting a razor-sharp dagger with one hand, the other hand modestly tucked into the small of her back. [22-23]
And of course, add in some awesome camera angles and throwings of ninja stars, and that would make a hell of a movie. Right?

random, books, music, twitter, quotes, now with zombies!
