(no subject)
I have a new summer reading plan...read at least one book from all the authors mentioned in Moxy Fruvous' "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors":
Well you should see my story reading baby, you should hear the things that she says,
She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez."
Uhh-huh!
Cuddle up with William S. Burrows, leave on the light for Bell Hooks,
I've been flirtin' with Pierre Burton 'cause he's so smart in his books
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
My heart's so broke and bleedin'
Baby's just sitting there
doing some reading
So I started watching some TV, played my new cd player too,
She said: "Turn it off or I'll call the cops and I'll throw the book at you."
All this arguing made me get dizzy, called my doctor to come have a look
I said: "Doctor hurry!" He said:
"Don't worry, I'll be over when I finish my book"
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been livin in hovels
Spendin' all our money on
brand new novels
So I got myself on a streetcar and it drove right into someone,
You know the driver said:
"I was lookin' straight ahead!"
But he was reading the Toronto Sun
"So?"
So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need
She said: "We'll get your love growing,
but before we get going, here's some books I'd like you to read."
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some fricton
'Cause my baby's hooked on
short works of fiction
So we split and went to a party, some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight 'cause it's authors night and the place looks like a who's who
Now I'm pounding the ouzo
with Mario Puzo
Who's a funny fella?
W.P. Kinsella
Who brought the cat?
Would Margeret Atwood?
Who needs a shave?
He's Robertson Davies!
Ondaatje started a food fight, salmon mousse all over the scene
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing, these writer types are a scream!
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
Eatin' and Sleepin' and
Eatin' and Sleepin' and
Eating und Sleeping und
Turnin' pages.
Yeah!
I think it could work...
also, this is pretty much an awesome song because, well, I think you can figure it out:
Clem had a daydream, daydream from heaven
Picked up the headline, his country was made up of singers
And no more right-wingers
He wakes up to "Homeless are stupid, welfare is stupid
Private investment efficiency, cool fiscal plannin'"
Sounds like more Pat Buchanan
Back in his day job this afternoon
Unlikely he'll move down to Cuba soon
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
Clem reads of the old days, twenty years goes a long ways
"Challenge the system!" Relating is easy on a demo...
Did I meet you on that demo?
Now they'll send it by memo
Fax me a memo
'Cause there's no need for the Peace Sign, 'Post Republican "Peace Time"
Join the parade, wave the flag, Tell the world it's your lackey
Abbie Hoffman was wacky
Riding the bike to his foreign car
Burning his mind in his VCR
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
and he's lost...
don't you know what it's like to be lost?
and older..."tears on his shoulder"
real men are BOLDER!!
Soon I'll be 30, I don't want to be 30
I've got some big plans, goodwill has some big hands
With each new computer screen, the world tells me I'm more green
Buy a new Game-Boy!
For the fun and the fashion...Just for the passion
Back in his day job this afternoon
Unlikely he'll move down to Cuba soon
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
White lies, rich guys, hoarding a big prize
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
We've got work to do
Reluctant to find he's stuck in the 90's again
Also, as a sidenote...Moxy Fruvous owns.
Aaaand, I got my Conversessss today. They don't have the lime green lining, but a very cool brown lining. I spent forever trying to figure out the perfect way to lace them. I'm so excited to start sportin' them.
