Overwhelming support for "Bust a Move" on FB, BTW... here's hoping!

I just wiki'd it and indeed it is.  (It says Vega returned the favor, after Colvin sang backup on Luka, which I did not know either  :o )

another snoozer from the Smithereens, who I liked at the time. But this set needs some goofy pop, pronto. And I don't mean the B-52s, either ;)

Lyle Lovett

pleasant enough... He played the Harley Strictly Bluegrass fest with his Big Band, but I wasn't into it.  (nor was I into Tom Morello, who also played that Friday night and dropped lots of f-bombs in his set.  Angry young man, I get it, but what about the children??!?!? will someone please think of the children??!?!?!?!)

the first couple of LPs are really great, this one (...Large Band) always reminded me of  Dan Hicks/Hot Licks.

VHM to the Cult

edit: AND Bust-a-move!

This set, so far, while it hasn't been full of excitement, does seem to mix it up pretty well & has a pretty good flow IMO.

I can't rap... But I can Copy and Paste, yo!


This here's a tale for all the fellas
Try to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get an females get jealous
Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move

You're on a mission and you're wishin'
someone could cure you're lonely condition
You're lookin for love in all the wrong places
Not fine girls just ugly faces
From frustration first inclination
Is to become a monk and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope
So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
New movie's showin... so you're goin
Could care less about the five you're blowin
Theatre gets dark just to start the show
When you spot a fine woman sittin in the front row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
Come sit next to me you fine fellow"
You run over there without a second to loose
And what comes next, hey bust a move

If you want it baby you've got it (repeat)
Just bust a move

In the city ladies look pretty
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
Then you try to make a move and she says "no way"
Girls a fakin' ... goodness sakin'
They want a man who brings home the bacon
Got no money and you got no car
Then you got no woman and there you are
Some girls are sophistic... materialistic
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
They're lyin on the beach perpetratin a tan
So that a brother with money can be their man
So on the beach you're strollin'... real high-rollin'
Everything you have is your's and not stolen
A girl runs up with somethin to prove
So don't just stand there, bust a move

(break down)

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato"... check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin, then you start blinkin
A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And now you're feelin really fine cus the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do g, bust a move

never get to be cool.

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

This stanza always bothered me.  Why would Larry choose his brother's best friend instead of his brother as Best Man?

The narrator could be Larry's best friend, too...?  and maybe Harry and Larry hate each other? 

or maybe it's really Harry who's going to be married and "has a brother Larry" was just used to complete the rhyming cadence?

yeah, you're right.  It's bothersome no matter how you look at it.
