Lyrically Speaking Day 4 - 11/10/08

Before we get to today's game, a reminder: Saturday's game is open until noon today, and Sunday's game is open until noon tomorrow. Now then, today's game is called:

I'M A GENIUS!

Well, no. Not really. And neither is Apple's iTunes software, when you get right down to it. But I've used it for this game anyway. The new "Genius" feature of iTunes suggests songs similar to a song you choose, based on...um...voodoo magic, I think. I've picked a song from my own music collection (it's #1, and obviously my favorite song on this list), ran it through both the iPod version of Genius (which chooses songs also from my collection) and through the iTunes/Music Store version (which will include songs I don't currently own). The software then makes suggestions of what I might like to listen to next, based on genre, year released, and even (I think) similar chord progressions, based on the iPod lists of millions of other users (which it uploads semi-regularly).

At any rate, here are ten songs, nine of which were picked for me by my iPod and iTunes. One point each for the artist and title, and one bonus point each if you can identify which of the 4 songs below are currently on my iPod. No outside sources. Spoilerize your answers, please. The game will remain open until noon tomorrow.

1. I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

2. Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
(HINT: The name of this song is NOT "Teenage Wasteland"!)

3. You got a lot of nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down,
You just stood there grinnin'

4. (Song Title) all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

5. So....so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rain?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

6. It's hard to believe that
There's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

7. In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try,
I find my way into the same old jam

8. Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And (and and) you put the load right on me

9. I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you baby, can I have some more?
Oooh, oooh, (part of the Song Title)

10. Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day (like Romeo and Juliet)

With the way the new spoilers work, which do you prefer? The "spoiler=" which takes up less space and you only have to click once, but even bolding the answers it looks hard to easily tell the answers at first glance (I tried colouring them the other day, but that was just kind of annoying). Or blacking out each answer, which makes it obvious, but takes up more reading room and requires separate clicks on each one?

I like the "Spoiler=" one myself -- that way you can tag 'em. And you're absolutely right --

it IS

Fannie, not Annie!

This chorus is so incredibly well-known, yet readers of the earlier version have e-mailed me regularly saying ‘I thought it was Annie … because later there’s ‘What about Miss Anna Lee’. I had my Annie / Fanny doubts at first too. I’ve heard a few interpretations - a Canadian musician swore to me in 1971 that ‘Take a load off Fanny’ was all about catching and disseminating the clap (= a load), and that there was a double take - ‘off’ could also be ‘of’ (presumably using the English frontal sense of the word ‘fanny’ rather than the American posterior one) - Take a load off Fanny/of Fanny, and you put the load right on me. The clap is Miss Fanny’s regards to everyone. Of course, being Canadian, he claimed to have been told this directly by a member of The Band. Twenty years later, another Canadian asured me that this was perfectly true, again tracing the explanation directly to an un-named Band member. I can easily believe that a Band member told someone this, but it doesn’t mean it’s true, as none of them ever betrayed a lack of a sense of humour. I’m interested that this particular story is so widespread, and yet so ignored by Robertson when he’s talking about the lyrics. While we’re worrying about intepretations of a load, move over to The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary :
Load:
A burden of affliction, sin, responsibility etc; a thing which weighs down, opresses or impedes a person.

Load:
A material object or force which acts or is conceived as a weight, cog etc.

Load:
= DOSE slang, 20th century (dose= an infection with venereal disease)
So maybe a dose of clap is part of the weight, or more likely, a symbol of the weight. This was expanded by another internet post :
‘Rosalind’:
I always thought that "Fannie" might have come from the song that Levon always looked forward to singing during The Hawks wild years. He mentioned on the Conan O'Brien Show back in 1993 that his very favorite song to sing every night way back then was "Short Fat Fannie" It was also the song that he used to tease Cathy Evelyn (Smith) with. She mentioned that in her book "Chasing The Dragon" She said she would turn red and run away cause every time he sang it, he would look over at her and grin. Since "The Weight" was swamped with real-life folks and memories...13
Cathy Smith was an early close associate of The Hawks as well as a later associate of The Band going right up to The Last Waltz, and is mentioned in Levon Helm’s autobiography as the girl who helped them out of a drug bust:
Rick Danko:
So Levon spoke to this chick he was dating. Her name was Kathy and she was the most beautiful girl in Toronto… 16 years old when he met her, and she was a gorgeous, gorgeous lady. She looked beautiful and no one could resist her. Anyway, Levon explained the situation to her, and she kindly gave this cop who was trying to crucify us a blow job. Then she told him she was 14 years old. He was the chief witness against us, but this was some weird shit for him, and he disappeared, we never saw him again. In the end everyone else got off, and I received a year’s suspended sentence on probation.14
Rosalind’s comment got this reply:
Bill Munson:
I never found Cathy Smith’s Chasing The Dragon, but some pertinent bits of it are quoted in The Seahorse Motel chapter in Rock & Roll Toronto. The event, which was the sort of thing British Premiership footballers have gained recent notoriety for, involved three Band (or rather Hawks) members and resulted in the birth of “The Band baby” quoted elsewhere. According to the book, Richard (who it appears was not in fact responsible) stood up and offered to take the ‘load’- or consequences. In the light of Ros’s quote about “Short Fat Fannie” it does ring bells with the themes Robbie has stated that The Weight is about – sharing a load, guilt and ‘the impossibility of’ redemption and would make some sense of the chorus.15
I’ve never managed to find Cathy Smith’s book either, but for the prurient, here is the relevant passage as quoted in Rock and Roll Toronto.
Cathy Smith, from Rock and Roll Toronto:
“One night a few months after I met them, they rented a few rooms in the Seahorse Motel down on the lakeshore. We partied on into the night, and at one point I ended up in bed with Rick Danko, In the middle of making love, Rick found out I wasn’t on the pill and things (as it were) ground to a halt. He got out of bed and wandered on down the hall, leaving me lying there hurt and confused, then Levon walked into the room, climbed into bed with me.” Six weeks later, Smith discovered she was pregnant. Levon was the father, she insists, although she also says that she ‘didn’t belong particularly to Levon’. Richard Manuel offered to marry her, but she turned him down.16
In all the correspondence I got since writing The Weight article years and years ago, Rosalind is the first to point out the Cathy Smith connection, and it covers the shared load theme without necessarily dismissing the clap reference either. Going back too her involvement in the drug bust, a weight is also slang for a kilo (or is it a pound) of dope. Again, the idea of a shared responsibility emerges – they were all busted for an offence that was eventually pinned on just one of them.
SaDavid:
And what's all this "take a load off Fanny" riff? The whole thing becomes only a little less cryptic when we learn, in the very last lines, that the pilgrim is traveling under instructions, has, in fact, been sent by the mysterious Miss Fanny. The "weight" of the title is the load of her obligations the pilgrim has been sent to discharge. The irony, of course, is that he leaves with a heavier load than the one he brought with him - "my bag is sinkin' low."17
A more inocuous meaning came from B Molson:
B.Molson:
Robbie Robertson had a knack for incorporating common sayings into his songs. I assume it means is a shorter way of saying, "lets take a load off my feet and put it on my fanny"
But if it’s a common saying, it’s managed to escape me. A further reading from far left field:
Joab Jackson:
As you might know, The word "fanny" is also slang for "butt" or, to be blunt,"a**hole." So, "Take a load off, Fanny" can be read as a very euphemistic way of saying "thanks a lot, a**hole." In each of the verses, the narrator is thwarted by some other character. Someone refuses him lodging. A friend leaves him with the devil, he must take care of a child and a dog. In each case, the narrator is dumped on by someone else. In effect, in each verse, some one else has taken a load off themselves and put it on the narrator. The final verse (and here is where I am stretching the most) is about, and I will be blunt here as well, a fart. It is the perfect response to dealing with a "Fanny": "Miss Fanny ... sent me here with regards to everyone."
I don’t get that one at all, but then again a lot of correspondents don’t get my pictures. The Hawks had been to England. They knew fanny meant the other end, or what Dawn French calls ‘the front bottom’.

The songs that could be on my I-Pod if I had one & loaded it up with music (I wouldn't, not music I'd already heard; I'd load one up with interviews I'd missed, for airplane rides)

Spoiler

would be 1, 3 & 8; Sorry, I never liked 4 all that well. I however find it hard to believe you had to be introduced to any of them. so probably only 1 of them was already on the I-Pod. I am going to guess #1, 'cause I'm lazy & depressed right now.
