oh hey, let’s crash the party, because love shouldn’t be all about the gifts and anniversaries.
burn some holes in the carpet.
I didn’t really like this song when this album first came out, however recently it came up on my ipod and I gave it a closer listen, and I actually really like it right now, for both the lyrics and the overall sound:
Jimmy Eat World – The World You Love
(I couldn’t embed the video)
I’m writing/presenting a huge research project on the evolution of the human hand next week so here’s a short list of handy songs:
1. Get your hands off my woman – The Darkness
2. The handshake – MGMT
3. I want to hold your hand – The beatles
4. Burden in my hand – Soundgarden
5. Hands – The Raconteurs
6. Put your hands up in the air – Daft Punk
7. Hands up – Black Eyed Peas
8. Hold my hand – Hootie and the Blowfish
I just got the Violent Femmes greatest hits and it’s awesome. Kiss off is probably my favorite song of theirs:
“I take one one one cause you left me and
two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my loneliness and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost god and
10 10 10 10 for everything everything everything everything”
I always get these lyrics mixed up, “I guess what they say is true, I could never be the right kind of girl for you, I could never be a woman.” and interpret them as a gay man singing them to straight man who will never return his affections.
Here’s another cross genre cover, thank you to Dinosaur Comics for the link.
and then these guys (the “bromantics”) covering one of my favorite songs:
Love it.
Ok i’m not a huge fan of the moldy peaches, but I do find them funny. This song, Nothing Came Out, is par for the course in terms of being out there, but I love the lyrics:
Just because I don’t say anything,
Doesn’t mean I don’t like you.
I open my mouth and I try and i try
But no words came out.
Without 40 oz. of social skills
I’m just an ass in the crack of humanity.
I’m just a huge manatee.
A huge manatee.
And besides you’re probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wana do is ride bikes with you
And stay up late and watch cartoons.
Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.
I wanna watch cartons with you.
Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Doo,
I want you to watch cartoons with me.
He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui
I tried to ask you to your face
But no words came out.
I put on my hood and walked away,
That doosn’t mean I don’t like you.
And besides your probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you,
And stay up late and maybe spoon.
Just becase I dont say anything
Doesn’t mean I dont like you.
No…
I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.
And besides you’re probably holding hands
With some skiny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you.
And stay up late and watch cartoons.
I’m just your average Thundercats ho.
It’s a progression of falling in an out of love.
