I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii
I wanna be with all the kanes and wahines that I knew long ago
I can hear old guitars a-playin' on the beach at Hōnaunau
I can hear Hawaiians sayin' "Komo mai no kaua i ka hale welakahao"

It won't be long 'til my ship will be sailin' back to Kona
A grand ol' place that's always fair to see (yessiree)
Well I'm just a little Hawaiian and a-homesick island boy
I wanna go back to my fish and poi

I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii
Where the humuhumunukunukuapua'a go swimming by

[Instrumental]

Sun Nov 12, 2023, 01:40 PM
Nov 2023

He recorded a prewritten script for American Top 40. The engineers later combined his voice with the music, but the producers knew what songs would be played in what order when the script was written.

When the production was completed, he would be coming out of an up tempo song into a solemn dedication of Shannon to a guy whose dog had just died. That’s a tough thing to pull off for a jock, even as one as talented as Casey Kasem. And apparently this wasn’t even close to the first time something like that had happened. That’s what he was mad about. If you’re going to do a death dedication don’t do it either immediately after, or immediately before, an up tempo song.

sacred music from my youth for an advertisement! Like when Cadillac used Zep’s “Been A Long Time”. And have you seen the recent one for aftershave where someone NOT Justin Heyward sings “Tuesday Afternoon “?? It’s sacrilege, I tell you!

couple in what looked like the mountains. I want to say Jeep as it was going up the hills. But I was trying to figure out what the JA's song had to do with it. I was more interested in the song then the car, If I see it again I will let you know. Any funny thing I had to have another mammogram as the first was abnormal and they where playing "Stairway to Heaven" The older ladies didn;t like it. I did.

I’m a breast cancer survivor.

Too funny about them playing “Stairway” during your mammogram!

How about when you’re in the grocery store and they play ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man”. I heard that in the Giant Eagle once!

Phish. They have lots of animal songs: Lizards, Llama, Possum, Wombat, Scent of a Mule, Dog Faced Boy, and that's just off the top of of my head.

Then there's Harpua, the fat sweaty bulldog, spastic dead-eyed hound, who is the mortal enemy of a cat named Poster Nutbag. A goldfish is also mentioned in that one.

My favorite Beatles song. Somebody on the Beatles channel on Sirius satellite radio explained the weird lyrics John Lennon wrote for that song. Lots of people had been trying to read all kinds of mystical deep meanings into Beatles lyrics, and John Lennon wrote those apparently nonsensical lyrics in an attempt to foil them. But, in my humble opinion, if that was his purpose, he failed. When the Magical Mystery Tour album first came out -- when was that? 1965, I think -- and I listened to that song just a few times, those crazy lyrics started making a weird sort of sense to me. Now, I think those lyrics are brilliant, and perfect for that song. I have never been a parent to a daughter, but if I ever had been, and if I had been the one who got to name her, I would have named her Semolina Pilchard. And by now, I suppose she would have climbed up the Eiffel Tower. Or gone up inside it in an elevator, anyway.

Jim Morrison was a fan of William Blake and wrote this while in high school. It's about when 18th Century sailors use to throw the horses overboard to lighten the load of the ships and conserve resources.

216. Evelyn, a Modified Dog - Frank Zappa
Sun Nov 12, 2023, 03:47 PM

"Evelyn, A Modified Dog"
Album: One Size Fits All (1975)

Evelyn, a modified dog
Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily
Draped across the piano, with some surprise

In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes

A curious breeze
A garlic breath
Which sounded like a snore
Somewhere near the Steinway (or even from within)
Had caused the doily fringe to waft & tremble in the gloom

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone
Further modification
Pondered the significance of short-person behavior
In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance
And other highly ambient domains...

Arf she said
