It occus to me for the first time that this song is something of an Eagles parody/commentary.


example.


no, not a parody of a specific song, just of their whole attitude.

No, I dig just about everything I've heard from him.  Actually, I thought it was POC who didn't like MC.

Should have seen Missing Persons coming.  Would like this even better if she didn't cheapen herself with that Betty Boop bullshit.


it is i, indeed. don't know what it is about that song today, though.

gaz is quite the feminist this morning.

I was sitting there thinking BOS for Saga, and wondered why I like it so (I actually have the vinyl), and it seemed kinda Zappa-esque at times, but more fluid.  And, then, if I'm not mistaken, the next song was Missing Persons, with ex-Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio!

My, Alicat is wearing the crankypants today, isn't she? I guess we all have our days....

And considering it's the Phil Collins Band, who could blame her?

"Jenny Jenny, you're the girl for me
... you make me so ____________"

There's no way "happy" was the original lyric.  Methinks a label gelding suggested a word switch to avoid offending.

I remember seeing that! Wow, what a great pop culture reference that is!

Thanks! Over at the Television Without Pity forums there's the "Scarred For Life" thread where people talk about freaky shit they see on TV. Lil Zuni (as I dubbed him) gets a lot of discussion. Every now & then I'd post a tiny pic of him to scare people. Heh.
