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?

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....

Walk On The Ocean by Toad The Wet Sprocket

We spotted the ocean
At the head of the trail
Where are we goin?
So far away

And somebody told me
This is the place
Where every thing's better
And every thing's safe

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

Half an hour later
We packed up our things
We said we'd send letters
And all of those little things

They knew we were lying
They smiled just the same
And it seemed they'd already
Forgotten we'd came

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

Back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
People don't know you
And trust is a joke

Don't even have pictures
Just memories to hold
Grow sweeter each season

As we slowly grow old 

WELL NO ACTUALLY... THATS NOW HOW GETTING OLD WORKS... THE WAY IT WORKS IS YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY AND LOOK IN THE MIRRIOR AND THINK... WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED?

 Put your make up on

Get your nails done
Curl your hair

Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself
Do you like you? Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

WHEN YOU SCORE IN RUGBY ITS CALLED A TRY... THAT SEEMS HALF ASSED... WELL AT LEAST YOU TRIED...

Lips Like Sugar by Echo and the Bunnymen

 She floats like a swan

Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar

Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight

You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses

Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake

You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
Loser and winner
The king of siam

And my siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

WELL... REMEMBER TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH...

Beauty and the Beast by Angela Lansbury

 Tale as old as time

True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared

Beauty and the beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before and ever just as sure as the sun will rise
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
(Oh, oh, oh)

Tale as old as time (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
(Oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Beauty and the beast

ALL GOOD IS GOING OUT OF THE WORLD... RIP ANGELA... YOU WERE ONE SWELL TEAPOT

Dahl Parts by The Theater Fire

One day I walked into a butcher's shop

They shackled me
And now all was out 
Upside down on the production line
Floating along, until its my time

My pockets jingle empty to the sky
With cloven footed passersby
At last he sees me in his bloodstained coat
I'm rescued now, but he goes for my throat!

Now the blood is coming down
All I think of is the sound
Of the grinding machine
Like a waterfall of red
A conveyor belt instead of Saint Peter's way

THAT SOUNDS DANGEROUS.... SAFETY FIRST BRO

The Love Me Or Die by C.W. Stoneking

 I studied evil I can't deny

Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die
A fingernail, a piece of her dress
Apocathery, Devil's behes'
I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake
Fallin' slave to passin desire
Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die

Against a Jungle primeval green
She had the looks of a beauty queen
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
75 cent bottle perfume
I said, "Good mornin'", I tipped my hat
All the while I was cunning like a rat
Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye
I felt in my pocket, the Love me or Die

My past history, one to behold
I studied magic from days of old
Membership, secret societies
Power and wealth in my family
But Matilda, darling
Why you don't take my wedding ring
Like a demon under the floor
I buried the hoodoo down the back door

Lawd, word broke through the town
That a fever strike Matilda down
9:30, the doctor arrive
Priest come runnin, quarter to five
Standin' in the weeds early next day
I saw the meat wagon rollin' away
I seen Matilda layin' in the back
Her old mother wearin' a suit of black

Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum
I wait for me judgement to come
I know her spirit is down beneath
I hear the weepin' and gnashing of the teeth.
Flames of Hell licks at my feet
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too
All 'cause she died from a bad hoodoo

WELL... ITS NOT GOOD... ILL GRANT YOU THAT... BUT HEY WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES... JUST LAY OFF THE VOO-DOO...

Be Free by J, Coal

Note: Several years ago an individual who follows this blog said I was "retarded" , his words, because the text of the blog was unreadable and told me I needed to make the text a different color.  So for several years when I post I have changed the color of the text and made the background black.  Now the same individual tells me I'm stupid because he cant read the text and why cant there be contrast.  So... now I will just type the posts and will not change the color to accommodate this dude because he keeps changing the settings on his phone. 

And now I'm in denial
And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile
I know, I'll be on the go
It ain't no drink out there that could kill my soul
Oh no
All we want do is take these chains off
All we want do is break the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we want do is be free
All we want do is take these chains off
All we want do is break the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we wanna do is be free

Can you tell me why every time I step outside
I see my niggas down
Ooh, I'm letting you know
That it ain't no gun they can make that could kill my soul
Oh, no

All we want do is take these chains off
All we want do is take the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we want do is be free
All we want do is take these chains off
All we want do is break the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we wanna do is be free

Ahh we all alone fighting on our own
Please give me a chance
I don't wanna dance
Something's got me down
I was there my ground
Don't just stand around
Don't just stand around

All we want do is take the chains off
All we want do is break the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we want do is be free
All we want do is take these chains off
All we want do is break the chains of pain
All we want do is be free
All we wanna do is be free

THE DOVE IS NEVER FREE...

Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn

 Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter

In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines
All day long in the field a hoin' corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain, there was no need
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere

Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well, the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler

Well a lot of things have changed since a way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor, nothing lives here anymore
Except the memory of a coal miner's daughter

I WAS AN ECONOMIST'S SON...RIP MS. LYNN,,,

In Our Talons by Bowerbirds

 And the warblers sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!

And the sparrows sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
Through the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate,
And hear no refrain.

And the beetles creep (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
On the crippled trees, (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering.

And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, youre not alone.
Youre in our talons now, and were never letting go.

And the branches bend (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
To the growing sea. (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds,
For they know theyre drowning.

And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, youre not alone.
Youre in our talons now, and were never letting go.
Youre in our headlights, frozen, and no, were not stopping.
You may not believe, but even we were scared at first.
It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.
Were only human; this at least weve learned

(British accent in the friendly way of insulting with out insulting) BIT ON THE NOSE ISN'T IT. WITH YOUR BAND NAME BEING ABOUT BIRDS AND THEN SINGING ABOUT BIRDS... BUT PEOPLE ARE STUPID ARENT THEY AND NEED TO HAVE THE IDEA BROKEN OVER THIER HEAD LIKE A 2X4...
