a rose by any other name...
After last night, when apparently someone performed one of my namesake songs on Idol (lol I didn't watch), I got a couple comments along the lines of "oh, is that where your name came from?" (ok, I got one. fuck it.) and I am narcissistic enough to want to explain my choice and profess my love for two songs which are both a little cheesy, a little ridiculous, and a lot awesome. And one of which is more than a little bizarre. :D
First song, the one performed, be this. Maggie May by Rod Stewart. I love you, you cheesy skeazy old man. And the mandolin is sick. if its possible for a mandolin to be sick. lolol (Kris, please to be learning how to play one, k thanx.)
(omg watch this for the lulz! srsly, its amazing. lol)
And song #2 is a hardly ever talked about song off The Beatles' Let It Be album, track 7, directly following the song "Let It Be" actually. A rearrangement of a traditional British ditty, Maggie Mae. It was originally 42 seconds long. lol. Here's the original and the ~full (lol a whole minute and 30 seconds watch out!) versions.
Oh dirty Maggie Mae
they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
For robbin' a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpool
she returned me to
Two pounds ten a week,
that was my pay
I chose the spelling from The Beatles cause it looks cooler lol. And I tried to get miss- or ms- or mz- but those were taken so mrs- it was. Exciting I know. But this is my journal and if I can't make a post about me on it then....sorry for your lives if you actually read this. lololol
