Overliteralist at work: Why would anyone willingly "shuffle off to Buffalo"?

Overliteralist at work: Why would anyone willingly "shuffle off to Buffalo"?


The original song "Shuffle off to Buffallo", from the early part of the 20th century, was referring to the fact that Niagara Falls was a popular honeymoon spot (people would go to Niagara and never see the falls, nudge-nudge wink-wink).  So Fogerty is referencing an old song.

Philomath (Filomath? Filofax?) is where I'll go.  Beats shuffling off to Buffalo, I guess.

"When the world is a monster, 'bout to swallow you whole..."

Anyone besides me been feeling like that more than usual lately?  Heat waves and Stage 2 alerts on top of everything else...

BOS #2 REM.  

I think I'll only give BOS votes to bands with 3 letter names today.

Oh, I'd never heard of it -- thanks!

Meanwhile, BOS1 (I'm being optimistic) to "Can't Get There From Here," nicking a lick from the Pretenders perhaps but so finely.

This PT track has the same kind of production that Phil Collins gave Eric Clapton that year.  I wonder if we'll get "Forever Man" in this set.

Well that lasted about 40 seconds.  Big fat BOS to Pete, "Second Hand Love".  I really think White City holds up well, but none of our 10@10 friends checks in with it very often.

Someone's gonna call it a Katrina, but BOS to TFF; I can never get tired of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."  So evocative for me of that period, that state of mind, that aesthetic.

I was just about to refresh the KBCO "just played" list when I began to  notice the songs that preceeded the set.  This strikes me as a pretty good half hour or so of music for regular commercial programming:

She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
How We Operate - Gomez
Hotel California - Eagles
Interstate Love Song - Stone Temple Pilots
Stir It Up - Bob Marley
Paralyzed  - Rock Kills Kid
Veronica - Elvis Costello
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison

That was such a great 'bad' movie!  With a too short appearance by Deborah Foreman, the object of Nick Cage's affections (and mine too) in Valley Girl.  Val Kilmer's Chris tries to hit on her & she replies:  "Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?"
He says, "not right now."
And then she turns on her heel and says, "A girl's gotta have her standards."

According to IMDb, he's scripting the remake of Porky's, which has the mind-blowingly scary production tag of Howard Stern Presents - Porky's.
