Everybody Must Get Mentioned!
So, I'm getting the idea that one can blog about damn near anything here in the red chamber. Great. Last week, while I was at El Rio, in SF's Mission District, doing another of my parody songs, to the tune of Dylan's "Rainy Day Women (12+35)," a guy asked if he could post a copy of it online. I said, "Sure," and forked it over. This has happened before, and I still haven't seen the songs online.
So, here's the only song you'll ever see (or sing) that includes Captain "Sully," one of the heroes of Flight 1549; Michael Phelps, Rhianna, and Aretha Franklin's hat, all in the same composition. This is pretty much what I do every month, 2nd Tuesday, at El Rio with Red Roommate Kathi Kamen Goldmark's band, Los Train Wreck. As I think I've blogged, I've strayed from Dylan now and again (i.e., "Hey Sarah Sarah"). But it usually goes something like this:
They’ll stone you when you’re tryin’ to be so good
They’ll stone you just like they said they would
They’ll stone you at Barack’s inauguration
Where Aretha Franklin’s hat amazed the nation
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned!
They’ll stone you if you cried that you’ve been laid off
They’ll stone you if you gave your dough to Madoff
They’ll stone you if you get all scared and tremulous
While waiting for an economic stimulus
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned!
They’ll stone you and they’ll tell you that it’s wrong
To get your picture taken with a bong
They’ll stone you if you’re high on marijuana
They’ll stone you if you hit your girl Rhianna!
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned!
BREAK
They’ll stone you if you do the Hully Gully
They’ll stone you if you bother Captain Sully
Now, there’s the definition of a stud, son
He landed an aircraft onto the Hudson!
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned ...
They’ll stone you when you’re sipping on some wine
They’ll stone you if lack a Valentine
But even if it’s true, Hey, what the heck
I know that I am loved by Los Train Wreck!
And I do not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned!
