IT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION YOU FOOL

Not only that but he is wrrying about the wine going flat = Champagne socialist!!! I have you twigged Mr "man O' the People" Weller.

― Pete, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

How is the smell of brown leather different from the smell of white or black leather anyway? Does Weller have a hypersensitive sense of smell?

― Nicole, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's obv. Lambrusco, Pete.

Nicole, you've got no poetry in your soul.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That's because I'm not a goth like you, Dastoor.

― Nicole, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Brown leather = not goth

Late to the game as usual. Cabbage/Pyth: 1st verse of SMB's The Joker = v self-referential. Space Cowboy = title of song on his 3rd album
Gangster Of Love = title of song on 2nd album
Maurice = lead character of Enter Maurice from 7th album Me sad because Enter Maurice is so silly it still makes me laugh.

I used to be able to do ebeneezer goode by the shamen, but having just tried realise it has now gone from my mind, although i could prolly sing along quite easily...

Hah!, I knew someone would ask this, but didn't guess it would be Mr Hewitt.

Pompatis (sic) of love

The straight dope version has a slightly different spelling. The interview bits with Vernon Green are genuinely touching.

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ashamed to have intimate knowledge of the following:

Touch upon the booty it was soft as a Twinkie
But since it was stinky
Wouldn't touch it with my pinky
She was moving up and down Like a stair-climbing Slinkie.*

The third line is infuriating because YOU JUST SAID YOU TOUCHED IT!

* Kwame, "It's the Man We All Know and Love"

Smoke stack shooting (?) black soot into the sooty sky

something something makes the Indian cry
Elephant won't forget what its like living in a cage
The ringmaster, tv caster sings from the empty stage

I like the eels. Mainly "electro-shock blues," which I know up and down just from listening to it a gazillion time.

two years pass...
I know far too many Carter lyrics, despite not having listened to them since about 1994.

I also know all the lyrics to John Kettley is a Weatherman by A Tribe of Toffs.

I got this thread off a link from this thread ("Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" by The Jam - What Does It Mean?) which is the greatest thing in the history of ILM. Probably.

I can still remember the lyrics of "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes, even though I never even had that song on tape or CD or anything.

I can do Snow's "Informer" complete with faux-Jamaican accent.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 4 September 2004 13:09 (nineteen years ago) link

she had dumps like a truck (truck truck)
thighs like what (what what)
baby move your butt (butt butt)
I think I'll sing it again

― Ernest P. (ernestp), Sunday, 5 September 2004 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm a stony crusty dude with a mop on top
My melon's fully tweaked and I'll never stop
Stop trying to weaz the nugs from coast to coast
The ones with the cones are the ones I dig the most
Lisa, Lisa!

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 5 September 2004 01:11 (nineteen years ago) link

'zero' by the smashing pumpkins.
