1. I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used

2. I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola

3. She agreed, and we were on our way
She was lookin' very good, so I was I, I must say
We hit McDonalds, pulled up to the drive thru
We ordered two Big Macs, and two large fries and Cokes

4. I'm a freak.
I like the girls with the boom.
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

5. I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice aftershave

6. I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph

7. you know what I'm saying
I got every dog in my neighborhood breaking down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie, Alex from Strohs
they won't leave my dog alone

8. Yeah, the other night I lay sleepin'
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels
And his partner Jimmy Beam

9. Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my Hush Puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll

10. I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all four tires

11. This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it

12. Ain't singin' for Pepsi
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke

Lola

6. I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
Kodachrome, Simon and Garfunkel

[Vince the Shamwow Guy]

What a coincidence! I made mini look up from her book last night and chuckle at my Slap Chop commercial and she was thinking about how lame you were compared to me. Now here you are.

You wouldn't have to shout if you got yourself a hands-free like I have...

I'll play for mini today. She needs all the help she can get.

1. I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used

Little Red Corvette, Prince (He should be King or Emperor or Supreme Being by now. He rocks.)

2. I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola

Lola, The Kinks (Mini saw them in concert, too. )

3. She agreed, and we were on our way
She was lookin' very good, so I was I, I must say
We hit McDonalds, pulled up to the drive thru
We ordered two Big Macs, and two large fries and Cokes

Familiar. Rap, but not icky rap.

4. I'm a freak.
I like the girls with the boom.
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

The Humpty Dance, DU

5. I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice aftershave

One of those Billy Joel songs from the doo-wop phase that isn't The Longest Time. But not Uptown Girl, either, so you're good. And mini saw him in concert, with Elton John.

6. I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph

Kodachrome,...Paul Simon? Not with Garfunkel, I think.

7. you know what I'm saying
I got every dog in my neighborhood breaking down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie, Alex from Strohs
they won't leave my dog alone

ACK! What is this! I like it, but can't remember what it is...

8. Yeah, the other night I lay sleepin'
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels
And his partner Jimmy Beam

Nope. More blues than country, I think...

9. Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my Hush Puppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll

Come Monday, Jimmy Buffett before he became a cottage industry. We hit the Margaritaville in Myrtle Beach last week, and the food was lackluster but the cocktails and overall experience were very good. Mini-me is begging to go back.

10. I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all four tires

Before He Cheats, Carrie Underwood who used to be so sweet and now she's destructive and get drunk and hitched in her songs. Guess it sells...

11. This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it

....Nothing But Flowers? Not The Flowers of Guatemala, because that's REM and this is Talking Heads. Mini likes those bands whose lyrics and titles are so random, like she is...

12. Ain't singin' for Pepsi
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke

Neil Young, but not Rockin' in the Free World which is his suckiest song. This is one of the sucky ones, but not the suckiest. And mini saw him in concert, too.

I'd like to display my fresh rhyming skills for you now that you're listening:

I said hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
If your girl starts acting up
Then you take her friend.

So, does that rhyme in, like, Pennsylvania or somewhere? Mini was wondering that in December. And why didn't you use this song?

Maybe because I haven't heard it in years. It used to pop up every once in a while on VH1C. It isn't played on any radio station I listen to, nor have I ever heard it on Radio Mecca. I wasn't even aware Holiday Inn was part of the lyrics, but since there were already

3 rap songs in this game, I didn't really need another anyway
