Dance with meeeeeee, I want to be your partner, can't you seeeeeeeee the music is just starting, night is faaaaaling, and I am caa-aaliiiiiiiing dance with meeeeeeeeeeee!

Fantasyyyyyyy could never be so giving thrilling1, I feel freeeeeeeeee! I hope that you are willing. Pick the beat up, and kick your feet uhhhh-up, dance with meeeeeeeee!

Please. Make. It. Stop.

This is Stephen Colbert's fault. A few days ago, he interviewed this dude that's running for office, and it turns out it's the lead singer from Orleans, the band that had a hit with that song I just "sang" in the 70s. And Stephen made him sing it with him. Although "made" is probably a strong word.

Can't. Get. It. Out.

Won't. Go. Away.

Driving. Me. Crazy.

Dance with meeeeeeee, I want to be your partner, can't you seeeeeee? The music is just starting, night is faaaliiiiing and I am ca-aaaliing, dance with meeeeeeee!

*sob*

By the way, you'd be shocked and amazed at the number of sheer, fucking stupid lyrics there are out there on the web for this song. I had to go with what sounds right to me, but since I don't have an MP3 of this particular song, I can't listen to it over and over except in my head. So, as I said, I went with not only what the lyrics sound like to me, but what makes sense. That's what's lacking in a lot of the lyrics sites on the 'net. What kind of fucking idiot do you have to be, for instance, to hear "Fantasy could never be so killing, I feel free"? That doesn't even make as much sense as my other "favorite" from Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden: "I'd like to change my point of you." Hello, morons? Does that make sense? No!! Does "I'd like to change my point of view" make sense? Yes! So get a fucking brain cell! Gaaaah!!!!!

*panting* I'm going to stop typing, now.

Dance with meeeeee!....


1  [livejournal.com profile] dchenes was right: 'thrilling' makes 100% more sense than either of the two choices I found on various lyrics sites. I'm leaving 'giving' here to show that I changed it, though. :)

Myself, I've got the Marian the Librarian song stuck in my head... (we're singing showtunes at work, it's slow this morning)

My favorite way to get a song out of my head is to sing "Young Angus" (http://www.stmatthewsguild.org/Scotsong.htm#Angus), or, if that won't work, the Black Socks song (http://dragon.sleepdeprived.ca/songbook/songs2/s2_1.htm).

That tears it. I really will have to send you an MP3 of "Tokuoka."

Who said anything about bad music? Either it's a good music-unsticker or I don't mind having it stuck in my own head.

All I need to do is get it converted to MP3 format...

You are the very embodiment of the phrase, "Misery loves company." A pox on your scaly head for infecting your unsuspecting readers with your disease.

OK now, that's just going too far.

One other thing: regarding the line "Fantasy could never be so killing", maybe "thrilling" would make more sense and also rhyme with "willing"... mind you, I don't know (or care!) what the real lyrics are, but that just struck me as I read your note at the bottom.

Curse you for making me think about this so much. Or at all, even.

I read this weekend that the extraordinary Anna Russell had died, and since then I've had her How To Write Your Own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera stuck in my head.

You'd think this is a good thing, since it's unfailingly entertaining, but then you'd realize that when you hum it outloud it's not easily explained to your officemates and your Metro Seatmate.

gah
