POLL Pot! It's a Dead Kennedys "Give Me Convenience..." poll!

it's a simile not an extended metaphor

lol @ wikipedia entry for "too drunk to fuck"

The song also illustrates the dangers of drinking alcohol in excess.

i know it's meant as a simile, but that doesn't mean that i can't imagine the eraserhead baby wearing a retainer with a purse by its bedside giving a drunk Jello Biafra a blow job

^new board description?

dreams are free

My heart belongs to "Police Truck"

Was that song making reference to specific incidents at the time?

I'm actually surprised by how well many of these tunes hold up.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Not a single vote for I Fought The Law?? Huh.

Misheard Jello from Night of the Living Rednecks:

We'll play the theme from the Dinah Shore show.
Who wants to be Dinah Shore? Who's alter-ego is Dinah Shore?
Oh, it's Fiston Gillepso Quigley this time!

I just figured that Fiston Gillepso Quigley was some other tv personality I'd never heard of. Either that or a San Francisco political figure like Tibor Uskert.

hahahah Dinah Shore and the Dinah Shore show definitely faded into oblivion. Like, you don't have that nostalgic rediscovery of Dinah Shore as with other old tv. I do think of this song a lot, but never because I see something reminiscing about Dinah Shore.

usually the thing that brings to mind this song is either:

1. someone in Portland mentions something about Fred Myers, Burnside, or The Long Goodbye
2. I see a life-sized hot wheels car for some dumb rich kid IRL
3. some really stupid bureaucratic / judicial / law enforcement action that is essentially "they confiscated their club and my rock for further evidence"

Same on item 2.
