The Swamp

woo HA

You do not have me in check, sir.

I like that one. There's a new one.

It's an odd - and I'm sure not unique - thing that when I'm in a down mood I can not listen to sad music.

But on a sunny golf day like this one, loving me some bittersweet Nick Lowe.

One single grain of sand
Just broke the camel's back
One final fleck of down
Was enough to make it crack

It didn't hardly weigh a thing
But it might have been a ton
For the animal's all in
Too much damage has been done

So I'm giving you my notice
And it works this way
In two weeks time you will notice I've been gone
For fourteen days

You don't know what it's like
To be left out in the cold
To feel all alone
Even when there's a party going on

Well it's been like this for me
For too, too long
So I won't even get my things
Lord it's down the road I'm going

So I'm giving you my notice
And it works this way
In two weeks time you will notice I've been gone
For fourteen days

14 days! Odd song for Nick Lowe, given that so many of his songs are happy/upbeat.

Oh, you should hear his last many albums. Bittersweet, bruised and amazing.

Ben Franklin’s Song
(Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Music by the Decemberists)

Electricity
Yeah, you can all thank me
Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key
And they're putting up streetlights in Gay Paree
You're welcome from our young nation

I'm the only American the French wanna see
They call me a genius, I can't disagree
They have guns, they have funds
They can set us free
Invest in my reputation

And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin

I said, early to bed, bitches, early to rise
They make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise
Soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies
So diplomacy happens at night

John Adams debates at the gates of Versailles
He whines and parades and awaits a reply
As I stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh
Alright, diplomacy happens at night

And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am 76-and-I'll-Still-Kick-Your-Ass Fuckin' Franklin

One pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride
Is my son back at home who I could not guide
Who sits all alone in a prison cell on the wrong side
Stands against our young nation

So I play my ambassador part with pride
I am known in the world, and the world is wide
To my children, my sins may be magnified, but I'd
Do it all again, no hesitation

And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin

Who the fuck I am?
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) Who the fuck I am?
(Do you know who the fuck I am?)
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing
Polymath, bifocal-wearing
Hardened glass-harmonica-playing
Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin

Been listening to a lot of drinking songs while on vacation and while their are a lot of demands made of bartenders you never hear “please”…

Um,


(Granted, not a beach song)

Excuse me please, one more drink
Gonna fill the bus, want to make it stink

The road did part, our waste is gone
One more bridge to bowel move on

Lyrics used to find out when Ice Cube's good day was:

GFD do that again reaper and you’re going to swamp jail

Anyway I’ve come up with a great idea for a hit song:

“Three Piña Coladas (please)”

Already been posted. Rass thinks the rest of us have an encyclopedic memory of every post ever posted.

Just joking because there was a dedicated thread for the song. Forgot I had posted something similar on figuring out the day the song took place.

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom
Than she has given me
The diarrhea
Sweet as true love
The diarrhea
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

Do did the term "neener" originate with Dre, or did he popularize already existing slang, and in either case did people actually use "neener" in real-world conversation? Including and especially people who carried around firearms? And if so, how did they do so with a straight face?

Isn't it "nina" (nine) to everyone who lives outside of Boston?

That definitely sounds less ridiculous and makes sense, but I guess my general point stands. And even though I didn't put a whole lot of thought into this I did google before posting and I'm not the only one who always heard "neener". But maybe all of those sites are super Boston-y and write like they speak.

If you're talking about lyric sites, I'm pretty sure there are like 2 or 3 "legit" ones and the rest just scrape so mistakes are repeated multiple times.

Sure.

"Neener" is how Doctour Dre pronounces it.

Out on the road today
I saw a "Student Driver" sticker on a Maserati
A little voice inside my head said
WTF man, WTF man

It's the Maserati owner's mail order bride that's the student driver. Cause if you can afford a Maserati why would you ever have children?

A student driver isn't necessarily a child!

neither is a mail order bride PDX, but way to show your hand!

I usually let my daughter play music when I drive her to practices. Not sure if she chose this song or if the Spotify algorithm generated it, but Slut Me Out by NLE Choppa is good wholesome family fun. Here's a little taste:


Rip off my shirt if you love me
Spit in my face when you fuck me
Play with my gooch while you suck me
Eat the dick like you was ugly...

Put your ass in my face 'til I get pink eye...*

Promise that my nut taste like sugar gravy
Don't come quick, I control my bladder
Dick real big, come climb my ladder
Fat coochies, little coochies, all coochies matter



*all-time great lyric

Gotta love that. How old is your daughter?

I was trying not to laugh, then the pinkeye line made me lose it. I try to let her talk about anything because I want my kids to feel like they can come to me with any problems. She hesitantly pushes the limits to see how I'll react, and man, it gets deep sometimes. Like telling me about the couple in her class having sex and the boy sent dick pics, which she forwarded and another kids parents called the police. Police took her phone, holding it as evidence of a crime of child pornography. Crazy shit. She also tells me which kids are smoking and using drugs. She was shocked that I wasn't shocked about a couple 9th graders we know who she says smoke weed and drink. My son I can trust, but she has potential to get into trouble, so I want her to tell us what going on.

She played the song last night as a joke, so I asked how she found it. First time was random, last night was intentional and she only played one line as a joke.

Had a pistol of a waitress the other day and it reminded me of this song, even though it’s a few years old. (Corey Branan)

Well, there is only one reason I stop in this place
Let me stress that it ain't the cuisine
The eggs are all runny, the hash-browns smell funny and the coffee taste like gasoline
But there goes the one thing that I've been looking forward to for the last 600 miles
In a slow motion pan, eight beers in each hand
What's here of heaven in her smile

She's the prettiest waitress in Memphis and I think she's flirting with me

Readin' them specials extra special, slipped her finger into my sweet tea
O' but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift will do terrible things to a smile
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows she's only that way for a while

Well somehow she remembered my name though it's been several months since I passed through this way
She said she's lived here all her twenty three years I said I'd be here for a day
Ordered the pecan pie and in the wink of eye I got a slice as big as my head
And her name and her number on a sweet-n-low package is the best poem that I've ever read

She is the prettiest waitress in Memphis and I know she's flirting with me

Readin' them specials extra special, slipped her finger into my sweet tea
O' but a small stack of singles from a hard double-shift will do terrible things to a smile
And the prettiest waitress in Memphis knows she's only that way for a while

Well the prettiest waitress in Memphis, she spilled her heart all over me
And the way she was right as I held her that night 'n she said
"This'll all change eventually."

Cause she ain't the prettiest waitress in Memphis no more
But it's not what you're thinking you see
The prettiest waitress in Memphis just quit
And she's leavin' Memphis with me
Now, the prettiest ex-waitress in all of Memphis is leaving Memphis with me
