This swing isn't so effin' special to me.

the original is part of an ouevre that I found so so disturbing -- really, an entire generation that related to being losers and creeps? it makes '80s "mope-rock" seem positively uplifting -- and so spoofing it in that fashion strikes me as quite spot-on.

is this "Chopping Broccoli" by Dana Carvey?

Yep.  'Nother BOS.

This is gonna be a quick set.

And in grand 10@10 tradition, we're out before 10:37. (Probably earlier in SF, since the stream always runs slow.)

If it is, I have a long list of suggestions, but the first couple that come to mine are

The Benzedrine Monks Of Santa Domonica - "(Theme From) The Monkees"
...which I got from Mike

The Little Girls - "Earthquake Song"
...which contains the line couplet:  It's [the earthquake] gonna kill my mom & dad, they were the best I ever had
But they better not blame me, 'cuz it's not my fault.

Heh, missed this one when it came out.  Julie Brown updated "Homecoming Queen" to "Ex-Beauty Queen Has a Gun" (Sarah Palin):

heard most of it in the car on way to office.  Stopped for coffee on the way, but had to sit in my car and listen to the whole craigslist song!  Wild indeed, and enjoyed the multiple Doors riffs.  I've always enjoyed comedy records, and this was like listening to KPIG's 5:15 follies!

big fun

I have to pre-approve any html terms, and I've thought about it.  Maybe give me a list of the html syntax that is needed for YouTube embedding, and I'll see if I can pull it off.

What about installing this mod:  http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=977

Too much?  Looks like you can be selective about which sites to allow embedding.
