1 April 2011: will AL be "Fool"ish?
« on: March 31, 2011, 07:48:57 PM »
Our buddy Scott Fisher just posted "Foolish Songs Tomorrow!" but most of his AL wall-posts are meaningless gibberish so... I dunno.

Her own post concurs, but from the songs she's giving as examples it sounds more like a novelty song set than one focusing on "fool" songs. F'rinstance:

That thread nearly made my head explode -- seems like she's aiming for a cross between "Funny Friday" and Dave's Thanksgiving Turkeys. But some Fogheads are just requesting songs with "Fool" in the title. And others are just plain clueless: "I Zimbra" by Talking Heads? Wha?  And someone who wasn't listening last week wants "Make a Circuit With Me"  ::)

(I requested my longstanding "turkey", "Tarzan Boy")

Ahh...late to AL's request party.  I just requested Shaddap You Face.  It's a silly, no?

Yep, just the kinda song AL's looking for.  Funny how so many on FB didn't get AL's hint and went with the tired ol' "Fool"-in-title songs or other "out-there" requests.  Hopefully those were just April Fool's jokes (but I doubt it).  See y'all at 10AM, a fun way to end the week.

It's on my '81 wish list, so I'll be much obliged if it shows up.

Definitely a challenge to differentiate these songs from those other types of sets.

i just fed the Hocus Pocus gibberish section through Google translator and it comes out "We knocked up the Muppets one drunken night and nine months later Primus was born."

Great riff song.  And certainly has silly bits mixed in with the heavy metal.

Accordion!
