Personal Penguin! Argh!!!

I saw the “Personal Penguin” song mentioned on Paul Jones’s blog today but resisted the urge to click on it. Later I read the N&O blog and fell into the trap when David Menconi mentioned it. Now I’m hooked. I found myself walking around the office with the song stuck in my head!

Please, whatever you do, don’t go to Sandra Boynton’s website and click on the MP3 link. You’ll find yourself wanting to be a personal penguin before you know it.

(Sandra writes some of the best childrens’ books out there, by the way.)

Your construction
Smells of corruption
I manipulate to recreate
This air to ground saga
Gotta launder my karma

Bush

Breathe in breathe out
Tied to a wheel fingers got to feel
I spin on a whim I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love
For our fear
For our rise against the years and years and years

White And Nerdy

Werd, Al. (View the video here)

White And Nerdy
Weird Al

They see me mowin’
My front lawn
I know they’re all thinking I’m so white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy?
Look at me, I’m white and nerdy
I wanna roll with
The gangstas
But so far they all think I’m too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy
Really, really white and nerdy

Frank Zappa

I was playing my MP3 collection when “Valley Girl” by Frank Zappa (and his daughter, Moon Unit) got selected. I was reminded of what a fantastic musician Zappa was and how righteous he was standing up to Tipper Gore’s PMRC in the mid-80’s.

Read more about Zappa at this excellent Wikipedia article.

Hope you don’t mind me barging in the door
In the middle of the night
Hope you don’t mind me barging in the door like this
In the middle of the night

Falling in and out of bars on my own
Pick my head up off the ground

Empire

Empire
Queensryche

Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what’s wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they’ve got nothing to lose

They’re building EMPIRE!

Seas Of Cheese

Primus. God bless ’em.

Seas of Cheese
Primus

When the going gets tough
And the stomach acids flow
The cold wind of conformity
Is nipping at your nose
When some trendy new atrocity
Has brought you to your knees
Come with us we’ll sail the
Seas of Cheese
