Tax Day for Friday

[Alicat]

oohh
money money money money!

[Lightnin' Rod]

But what's that quotation about the candygram? I know about "Candygram for Mongo", but the quote doesn't sound familial.

After Bart captures Mongo with the Candygram, the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) is congratulating bart on a job well done. Bart says something like "Oh, it was nothing- the bich was inventing the candygram! And I bet I won't get any credit for it, either."

I just liked how Mel Brooks addresses the fact that the candygram didn't exist in the Old West- even though the movie's filled with anarchronism 10 times worse (ie Nazis, Hollywood production numbers).

Had to say this 10 times to myself before I parsed it correctly.  I kept thinking, "What bitch invented the Candygram?"

That's what I read the first time, too.  Though once I parsed it correctly, I remembered the scene too.

"For the Love of Money"

Now I feel like that old, grisled prospector guy (Gabby Johnson?): "NO, rwasrwr! Rym raser rr-r RABBA!"

Wall Street Shuffle--now this may be the first true surprise of the set.

[Beej]

Always nice.

Yeah, BOS3, tied for bestest.

And Taxman #4, because it's (yay) the Beagles.  When I did taxes at H&R, this was my end of the 15th day song.  VERY VERY LOUD.

And another standard: Brother Ray--"I'm Busted."

It's getting to be like the MLK day set--just replay the same one, year in and year out.

Btw, I tried searching our old page to see if there was any record of last year's set, and it appears that anything prior to 1/1/2005 has been 86'd. In three or four different searches using common terms that should have gotten lots of hits, I didn't get any results prior to that date.

True enough, I guess, but the songs are fine by me.  Don't have to re-invent the wheel every time.

BOS, every damn time.  One of my all time faves.  But you're right, it's even better when it's out of the blue.

unless you're as clueless as me, and just came out of school, forgot it was tax day, turned on the radio, and voila!  Duane Allman riffing those tasty licks on my radio!  It took me a few milliseconds to remember the context.

Cluelessness has it's benefits!

I hereby publicly withdraw my cranky-pantsness with regard to yesterday's set. Listened to the replay this morning and realized that in fact, if (almost) any of those tunes popped up in a normal, date-based set, I'd probably dig 'em and give 'em an HM at least (except 1040 Blues--just can't get next to that one for some reason). And Dave has a much smaller pool of songs to draw from for most of these holiday theme sets (Halloween, MLK, Labor Day etc.), Xmas being the one exception.

Mike must be either feelin' quite poorly or is out doing something fun--nary a peep from him since yesterday am--hope it's the latter, afraid it might be the former.
