In my head there is one seamless song that goes

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me
The daring young man on the flying trapeze
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long
I do hope that dog is for sale

I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Nights alone by your side

There she was just a walkin' down the street singin'
Daylight come and me wan' go ho-ome
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin'
Daylight come and me wan' go home

I told you about the walrus and me, man
You know we're as close as can be, man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.

I told you about the seether before
You know the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise...

Under My Wheels has been getting mixed up with the Phish song Wolfman's Brother.

Stay away from that window

We know only about ourselves
And what we read in the paper
Don't you know ink washes out easier than blood
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your starts talking nickelback, diamondback, mustard pack yea hea whoa whoa, yea yea whoa whoa there's a creep in the cellar and I’m gonna let him in.

I made a mashup but I don't have the skill or time to do it very well, it's awful and might ruin both songs for you for life. I'll post it tomorrow.

Mashup rough as guts, but the combo works better than it has any right to.

wowie. the first half of the chorus is my favorite part; that really clicks!

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea
Una Paloma Blanca ….
I’m just a bird in the sky!

And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make 'em smile

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Tuesday, 14 February 2023 22:49 (one year ago) link

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires after the summer rain
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Which leads me to think there must be a Galveston/Rhinestone Cowboy one

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Now I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin' down in my brain

Used to be my homie
used to be my ace
now I wanna slap the taste out your mouth
N**** bow down to the Row
fuckin me, now I'm fuckin you lil hoe

I need you by me
to guide me
to hold me
to scold me
cos when i'm bad i'm so so bad

so let's dance the last dance
tonight

now understand this my N*** Dre can't be touched
Luke's bendin' over cos Luke's gettin fucked
Will you be my Mr. Right?
Can you fill my appetite?
I can't be sure that you're the one for me
All that I ask is that you dance with me

That B52's bootleg upthread sent me off on a B52's acapella ripping fest via moises.ai. So it turns out that 'Party Out Of Bounds' works far too well with M-Beat ft General Levy - Incredible. Thought I may as well post here as its this threads fault these 2 exist:

I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back.

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

one month passes...

I can't hear 'The Last Man on Earth' by Wolf Alice without my brain simultaneously playing Wake Up by Arcade Fire. Can anyone do an irl mashup of these please? (I'm not a huge fan of the Arcade Fire song but it's like an itch that needs scratching). The 'ahhh' bits of Wolf Alice segue into the shouty bits 'we're just a million little gods' of Wake Up.
