Waldeck - Why Did You Fire The Gun?



Lay down your head
And show me if you like it
Lend me your ears
And read me like a book

This conversation
It strikes me
No need for words
It’s all understood

Lay down your head
And show me if you like it
Wondering if there is something
We did wrong
Nothing can stop me
From shaking
Why did we have to fire that gun

Lay down your head
And show me if you like it
Wondering if there is something
We did wrong
Nothing can stop me
From shaking
Why did we have to fire that gun
Why did we have to fire that gun
Oh why did we have to fire that gun

#BadWeddingSongs

So I’m hanging out with a bunch of fellow word nerds on twitter tonight; wasting time with a silly hashtag #BadWeddingSongs, and it’s keeping me up way past my bedtime. The tag entries are pretty funny, but I’m trying to top @ThisIsAllHard’s “My Heart Belongs To Daddy”, which I find disturbingly funny.
For some reason, Prince’s “International Lover” pops into my mind. I look it up on YouTube because now I want to listen to it, but it’s not on YouTube. Understandably, Prince is notoriously protective of his property.
By now, the opening few lines of the song are playing in my head and it’s driving my crazy because I can’t find my “1999” CD. I can download the whole album from Amazon for six bucks, but I already have the LP and the CD.
So now I’ve completely forgotten about twitter and the hashtag game. All I can think of is the first few chords of the song and…

May I have this dance?


Darlin’, it appears 2 me
That U could use a date tonight
A body that’ll do U right
Tell me — Am I qualified?

Dancing at the human mating call

Is dance something that’s an individual expression or is it part of a larger mating ritual system?

…and NO, the “Funky Chicken” does not count.

The Lunatic Is on the Air: A Stoppard Radio Play for Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ By DAVE ITZKOFF The 40th anniversary of the release of “The Dark Side of the Moon,” that best-selling Pink Floyd album, technically occurred earlier this month.
