Have we all covered the annotated Love Shack lyrics here, or was that elsewhere that I saw it?  "glitter on the mattress" "tin roof rusted" etc.?

AAAAAAAAAAACKK!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  WOS to uber-Trina "Love Shack".

Okay but this leads to a good My 3 Songs variant: yesterday Annalisa played this & then The Temptations "Psychedelic Shack".  Can you guess the 3rd song?  (Hint: it didn't have Shack in the title, only the lyrics)

and btw, how cool was it to hear "Psychedelic Shack" at 3:40 yesterday?

HOLEEE SHIT!!!

Best Vietnam vet song Evah!

BOS Metallica "One"

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

I'm gonna guess T.Heads, "Once in a lifetime"?

We already know how much I dislike "Psychedelic Shack", my least-fave Tempts tune.

Not too much excitement from Roy and Jeff.  I heard this earlier this morning on KPIG's "Make the Connection".  The other two songs mentioned Roy.

is this the anniv of his death? I recall it was in December; I had just bought an Orbison Greatest Hits LP to get "Pretty Paper" for a Xmas mixtape I was making and he died the next day -- spooky.

I think it was the anniversary of his last show, in 1988.  He died from a heart attack soon after it on Dec 6.
