The People In Your Neighborhood by Bob McGrath

 Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?

In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day

[Anything Muppet #1: Don't you like Christmas?]
[Bob: Oh, I love Christmas. But you could be the postman.]
[Anything Muppet #1: A postman, hmmmm ...]
Oh, the postman always brings the mail
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail
I'll work and work the whole day through
To get your letters safe to you

Bob and Anything Muppet #1:
'Cause a postman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
A postman is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day

[Anything Muppet #2: A fireman? Holy smoke!]
Oh, a fireman is brave it's said
His engine is a shiny red
If there's a fire anywhere about
Well, I'll be sure to put it out

Bob and Anything Muppet #2:
'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood

Anything Muppet #1:
And a postman is a person in your neighborhood

All:
Well, they're the people that you meet
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you meet each day

The baker is the one who makes
Your bread and rolls and pies and cakes
If you want something sweet to eat, go see
The baker in the bakery

A teacher works the whole day through
To teach important things to you
He'll teach you things you won't forget
Like numbers and the alphabet

A barber has a great big chair
You sit in it, he cuts your hair
He'll snip and clip and never rest
Until your haircut looks its best

The bus driver drives fast or slow
To take you where you want to go
When you get in and pay your fare
She will drive you anywhere

A dentist cares for all your teeth
The top ones and the ones beneath
So if you have an aching tooth
He'll fix it quick, and that's the truth

The doctor makes you well real quick
If by chance you're feeling sick
She works and works the whole day long
To help you feel well and strong

The grocer sells the things you eat
Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat
No matter what you're looking for
You'll find it at the grocery store

The shoemaker is always there
To take care of the shoes you wear
With his hammer, nails, and glue
He'll fix your shoes as good as new

The cleaner is the one who knows
How to clean and press your clothes
He'll take a jacket, suit, or vest
And clean it so you'll look your best

The trash collector works each day
He'll always take your trash away
He drives the biggest truck you've seen
To keep the city streets all clean

HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE A MUSIC STAR IN JAPAN BEFORE YOU WERE ON THE STREET... NO IDEAS... RIP BOB... ALL GOOD IS LEAVING... YET SHAT LIVES ON AN ON AND ON AND BADMOUTHS SULU

Christmas Time Is Here by Vince Guaraldi

 Christmas time is here

Happiness and cheer

Fun for all that children call

Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air

Carols everywhere

Olden times and ancient rhymes

Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air

Beauty everywhere

Yuletide by the fireside

And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here

families drawing near

Oh, that we could always see

Such spirit through the year

sleigh bells in the air

beauty everywhere

yuletide by the fireside

and joyful memories there

Christmas time is here families drawing near

oh that we could always see

such spirit in the year

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY MR. SCHULTZ

WKRP In Cincinnati by Richard Cheese

 Baby, if you've ever wondered,

Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm livin' on the air in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, WKRP

Got kinda tired of packin' and unpackin',
Town to town, up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
Just maybe think of me once in awhile.

Heading up that highway, leaving you behind
Hardest thing I ever had to do
Broke my heart in two, but baby, pay no mind
The price for finding me was losing you

Memories help me hide my lonesome feelin'
Far away from you and feelin' low
It's gettin' late my friend, my love, I miss you so
Take good care of you, I've gotta go

Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati, WKRP

Got kinda tired of packin' and unpackin',
Town to town, up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
Just maybe think of me once in awhile.

I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati

And Loni Anderson and Gordon Jump

We're Going To Be Friends by The White Stripes

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now its time to learn
We clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

MAN... THAT SONG PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP EARLY CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP...

Gone Daddy Gone by The Violent Femmes

 Beautiful girl lovely dress

High school smiles oh yes

'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Gone daddy gone

Your love is gone
Gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Gone daddy gone
The love is gone

The love is gone away

DUDE... JUST BECAUSE SHE DONT LOVE YOU NO MORE DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN LOVE HER...

The Lie And How We Told It by Yo La Tengo

 Talking words

Angry words
Hang in the air
We don't dare
Sky went gray
Wake in white
Hangs in the air
We don't dare

And there's a thousand reasons
I don't need them to help the fired flare
And even as we near it
I can't hear it
Files in the air
We don't dare

There's a thousand reasons
I don't need them to help the fired flare
And even as we near it
I can't hear it
Files in the air
We don't dare

We don't dare
We don't dare
We don't dare
We don't dare, don't dare

THINGS THAT LIE: WEIGHT LOSS ADVERTISING... TELEVANGILISTS... RUGS... TRUMP...

I'll Be Seeing You by Billie Holiday

 I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

EVERY DAY OF THE 15 YEAR MISSION OF THE MARS OPPERTUNITY ROVER'S MISSION THE PEOPLE AND THE JPL WOULD WAKET IT UP BY PLAYING A WAKEUP SONG LIKE THEY DO WITH AUSTRONAUGHTS... THE ROVER HAS NOW DIED AFTER ITS SOLAR PANELS BECAME COVERED IN DUST... AT THE JPL THEY PLAYED THIS SONG TO SAY GOODBYE... RIP OPPY

Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis

 You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain

Too much love drives a man insane 
You broke my will, but what a thrill 
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire 

I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny 
You came along and moved me honey 
I've changed my mind, your love is fine 
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire 

Kiss me baby, woo feels good 
Hold me baby, wellllll 
I want to love you like a lover should Your fine, so kind 
I want to tell the world that your mine mine mine mine 

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs 
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun 
Come on baby, drive my crazy 
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!

I SAW THAT BILL CLINTON MADE A SOCIAL MEDIA POST SAYING HE WAS SAD JERRY HAD DIED... IF THERE IS ONE DUDE THAT SHOULD NOT BE COMMENTING ON A DUDE THAT HAD PROBLEMS RELATED TO AN IMPROPER RELATIONSHIP WITH A GIRL IT IS BILL CLINTON...

Werewolf Bar Mitzva by Tracy Morgan and Jeff Richmond

 Aw man, Tray, look up at the sky

It's a full moon on the Sabbath
This is scary
Break it down

I was working late on my Haftorah
When I heard a knock on my bedroom-doorah
I opened it up and to my surprise
There was a werewolf standing there with glowing gold eyes

He says tomorrow my son, you will be a man
But tonight's the time to join the wolfen clan
Tomorrow you will stand at the bimah and pray
But tonight let's gaze at the moon and bay

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Spooky scary
Boys becoming men
Men becoming wolves

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Spooky scary
Boys becoming men
Men becoming wolves

Alright, that was great Tray
Okay, it's over, that's a wrap, oh

The next day what happened
The Talmud didn't teach, oh there's more
I got up in front of everyone
To give my little speech

Then my teeth turned into fangs
And my nails into claws
And I nearly dropped the Torah
When my hands turned into paws

I growled and I roared
And my rabbi did as well
It was a rocking werewolf zoo
At Temple Beth-Emmanuel

Ey man, where'd you learn
All these Jewish words?
My manager, Harvey Lemmings

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Spooky scary
Boys becoming men
Men becoming wolves

I don't, I, I just don't think this the idea of the song
Can sustain itself for that long
Because it, it seems a little sweaty now
So this whole premise is sweaty

We had a reception at the Larchmont Country Club
They served a real nice brisket and an eight foot party sub
I danced with my cousins, I got money from my folks
We had a lot of fun making circumcision jokes

Then I remembered the premise of my song
I was at a nice reception but the werewolf part was gone
So we pulled ourselves together and we're wolf men again
Just in time for monster fight to begin, no

All the country club employees were brain sucking pack
Who had all turned into zombies and were on the attack, no man
So we fought them and some Dracula's and Frankensteins too
'Cause you gotta love Bar Mitzvah, even if you're not a, aroo

Werewolf Bar Mitzvahs
(There's no such thing as Frankensteins, steins)
Spooky scary
(There's no plural Frankenstein)
Boys becoming men
Men becoming wolves

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Kooky hairy
Boys becoming men
Men becoming wolves

I don't want this, I don't like this, this is scary
Turning into werewolves and stuff, you know?
I got excited when I saw poodle on the street the other day
Aroo

I TURNED INTO A WEREWOLF ONCE... I GOT BETTER...

The Dreaming Moon by The Magnetic Fields

 With an ivory pipe

And a cummerbund
In the dead of night
On the autobahn
With the long ago
On the radio
And the dreaming moon...
We were young and in love
In a burning town
But the fire went out
I'm alone again now
And I finally know
How cool to be cold
With the dreaming moon
I'll begin again
With another new name
And a whole new life
Full of fortune and fame
But in the 100th year
I'll be right back here
With the dreaming moon

WELL... IS THE DUDE IMMORTAL?... IF HE IS HE AINT HAVING MUCH FUN... BEYOND SEEING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN A HUNDRED OR SO YEARS I HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING IMMORTAL... ONCE ALL THE PEOPLE I LOVE ARE GONE I DONT WANT TO BE AROUND. .. THATS WHY I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE COHORTS... OUR COHORT ALL START AND END LIFE TOGETHER ... THEN NO ONE HAS TO BE SAD WHEN OTHERS DIE,,, BECAUSE WE ALL GO DOWN TOEGHER,,,

Fight The Power by Public Enemy

 Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped

Best prepared troops refuse to fight
As a matter of fact, it's safe to say that they would rather switch
Than fight

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missing y'all
Swinging while I'm singing
Giving whatcha getting
Knowing what I know
While the Black bands sweating
And the rhythm rhymes rolling
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say

Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be

As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the pride's arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough

From the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
'Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business
Mental self defensive fitness
Don't rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say

Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be

Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be

Elvis was a hero to most
Elvis was a hero to most
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant s- to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother f- him and John Wayne
'Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check

Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say?
Power to the people no delay
Make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be

Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be

What we got to say?
Fight the power
What we got to say?
Fight the power
What we got to say?
Fight the power
What we got to say?
Fight the power

Yo, check this out man
Ok talk to me 'bout the future of
Public Enemy
Future of Public Enemy gotta

I FIGHT THE POWER EVERY DAY... AND YES JOHN WAYNE WAS AN ASS... DONT KNOW ABOUT ELVIS I WAS NEVER INTO HIM... IVE BEEN TO GRACELAND THOUGH,,

Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun by Julie Brown

 It was homecoming night at my high school

Everyone was there, it was totally cool
I was real excited, I almost wet my jeans
'Cause my best friend Debbie was homecoming queen

She looked so pretty in pink chiffon
(Chiffon)
Riding the float with her tiara on
(Tiara on)
Holding this humongous bouquet in her hand
(Bouquet)
She looked straight out of Disneyland
You know, like, the Cinderella ride
I mean definitely an E-ticket
(E-ticket)

The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked
(Was stoked)
I mean it was like the whole school was totally coked or something
The band was playing "Evergreen"
Then all of a sudden, somebody screamed
"Look out—the homecoming queen's got a gun"

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun

Debbie's smiling and waving her gun
Picking off cheerleaders one by one
Oh, Buffy's pompom just blew to bits
Oh no, Mitzi's head just did the splits
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me
How could you do what you just did
Are you having a really bad period

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun

(Stop Debbie, you're making a mess
Powder burns all over your dress)

An hour later, the cops arrived
By then the entire Glee Club had died—no big loss
You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her
Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said
She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead
Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief
I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun

(Debbie's really having a blast
She's wasting half of the class)

The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off the float
I tried to scream "duck" but it stuck in my throat
She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic
But I was crying so hard, I couldn't work my Instamatic
I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out
What made her do it, why'd she freak out
I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear
I knew then the end was near

So I ran down and I said, in her good ear
"Debbie, why did you do it"
She raised her head, smiled, and said
"I did it for Johnny"

Johnny
Well, like, who's Johnny
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny
Does anybody here know Johnny
Are you Johnny
There was one guy named Johnny
But he was a total geek
He always had food in his braces
Answer me, Debbie, who's Johnny
Oh god, this is like that movie "Citizen Kane"
You know, where you later find out Rosebud was a sled
But we'll never know who Johnny was
'Cause, like, she's dead

Everybody run
The homecoming queen's got a gun
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a
Everybody run
Everybody run
The homecoming queen has got a gun

AH THE 80'S ...WHAT AN INNOCENT TIME... WHEN THE IDEA OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN BLASTING AWAY WAS FUNNY... BEFORE GUNPLAY BECAME A REALITY OF HIGH SCHOOL LIFE....
