See those people in that pic? They ring a bell? I bet they do, but I am also going to bet that a lot of you can’t name them. But you might remember the story of the plucky girl with the hurt foot who did a vault for the USA in the Olympics. Or you might think that it is the story of an old guy who hobbled and then kidnapped a young girl. Regardless, “Your Woman” by White Town is a song that is sort of like that.
I have no idea what it is about, and I could not tell you any of the words. But I know the song. It’s like someone played it to me when I was sleeping. Every night. For a year. Even after I read some of the lyrics I didn’t understand it. The guy is saying: “I could never be your woman.” No kidding, dude. You are a dude! Why don’t you just write a song about “there is something that you can cut in half and its cross-section would be a cube“. Makes just as much sense.
If you people tell me you don’t remember it I will call you a no good liar. And we will fight. Video and lyrics after the jump.
“You had me at meat tornado.”
See that lame screenshot from the video that I’m featuring this week for Friday 90′s? That’s all we get from now on. Why? Because I think I’m getting sued. Why? Because I used some picture someone linked to me as the banner for a Friday Nineties once and apparently it was copyrighted so for all you know I’ll be getting sent to the…jailhouse. Or something. Meanwhile, stupid Wyclef gets to make up a fake charity to save Haiti and what happened to him? Nothin’! He’s probably the king of Haiti now, or whatever they have there. Meanwhile I got the MAN shaking me down. I think they must think this is a real business. Little do they know what awaits them.
*looks at hosting bill…checks in gallery treasure chest*
Yeah as far as I can tell all they are gonna get is a Super Ball and an HO Touchpad.
*bounces Super Ball…ball goes out window and gets eaten by a mean dog*
Dammit. Someone remind me to find that dog tomorrow so I can film it when his poop goes over the house! Video and lyrics after the jump.
See that guy in the banner? If you know who he is by looking at his picture then the odds are good that you are related to him. If you had asked me who he was before I decided to do this song for Friday Nineties I would have just shaken my head. Then if you told me his name was Shawn Mullins I would just stare at you blankly. Basketball player? Some kid of “enthusiast”? Famous murderer? Maybe all of those things. I don’t know. The whole point of this is that I had no idea who he was. And neither do most of you. But his song? Oh yes. You know the song.
You can probably sing along with it. Or at least do that weird thing where you hum and then sing like, the last couple of words of each line. You know what I mean. It’s like when people only know the chorus of a song. Or when girls do the hand claps in Take the Money and Run. Just small things that make me sad. Anyway, just listen to the song and wonder what this Shawn Mullins guy is doing now. Maybe he is a contestant on “The Next Great Baker”! I better go look.
Oh, and see the new Friday 90′s logo on the right? Yeah. That’s courtesy of Wood Rabbit. She’s aces and she is part of the all new super team that will lead the gallery into 2012 and probably right up until the world ends. Whooo! Video and lyrics after the jump.
As of now, this has 3320 views. It should be millions! Just watch the kid. He’s got the moves like Jagger.

I decided to do Cradle of Love bu Billy Idol this week while I was staying up all hours doing this stuff for work. And mind you, it isn’t like I said I was going to do THIS song. I was just thinking about Billy Idol (shut up) and could not remember the video where the chick kicks the covers down the bed. WORK ON ME said the work I was supposed to be working on. I NEED TO BE FINISHED! I WANT HAPPY ENDING! Not sure when my work started sounding like a weird non-English speaking massage patron but it did. And I would not listen. I wanted to remember the song.
It isn’t like Billy Idol has a diverse catalog. He, like AC-DC, had the good grace to just keep rocking and screw doing anything else. You never heard Billy Idol do a duet with Dido, didja? Nope. Just like if Angus Young was out on the stage rocking and some fool like Neil Young came out to “jam” Angus would just go right by him or possibly push him off the stage. Or at least that’s what I hope think he’d do. So armed with the knowledge that there are possibly 10 Billy Idol songs that anyone knows, I went digging.
I’d like to tell you this was a big mystery and I ended up fighting some scorpions in a tomb but all I did was remember I had the song in my iTunes so I looked it up and found it. Wow! What a tale! I’m sure you are all feeling like you got your money’s worth on this one. Maybe next week I’ll tell you the story about how I found a dime that I thought was magic but wasn’t.
