Mar. 23rd, 2005 01:14 amAs a BTB, 1940s music, big band... it makes me happy.
Random but true.
Also, Gabe, Steph and I analyzed the lyrics to "Coconut" today. Gabe claims the woman IS silly, because coconut milk will give you the runs. This is not something I really needed to know. Or that you needed to know, either, but now that I know it... You know it too. And adding a lime does nothing.
I maintain that it makes a great drinking song, and a great dance-around-the-room-singing-to-scare-the-neighbors song.
Steph agrees. Wishes to create a skit. And should Matchbox 20 break up, we are going to beat Rob Thomas with lime-filled coconuts. But leave his windpipe intact. Steph says he could sing from a wheelchair that goes 'meep-meep.'
Discovered Tina has never heard "Coconut." This is sad. But as it is Tina and we are all having Tina-issues, we let this slide. She would not appreciate the wonder and glory that IS a lime in a coconut, so there.
Please excuse me. It's about 1:30 in the morning and I've been researching ways to simulate oil spills for fourth graders all night. I have to go buy supplies tomorrow for a super cool experiment I don't even get to DO in class on Thursday, but we need the supplies anyway. (Make sense? NO.) But I think my lesson would ROCK a fourth-grader's world. As a sidenote.
I might just fall over laughing, because I was listening to "Witchcraft," (I think that's the name) which is very much 1940s and what made me need to share my spontaneous 1940s music joy.
'Cause it's witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says 'yes indeed' in me
Proceed in what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you...
Hehe... But anyway, the giggles would be because just now the song switched....
She put the lime in the coconut
She drank 'em all up (repeat)
She call the doctor, woke him up,
Said 'Doctor... ain't there nothing I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache (repeat)
Now let me get this straight...
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em all up... (repeat about 20 times)
You call your doctor, woke him up
Said "Doctor... ain't there nothing I can take
I say, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache'
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
You put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better
You put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em all up
You put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning
Woooo-oooo.... Wooooo-oooooo......
Excuse me while I "wooo-ooo" for a while.
Meanwhile, Brother bought a coconut for a dime and sister had another one, paid it for the lime.
I'd like to pay 20 cents for a lime and a coconut.
The end of the song is the best.
I am so rambly and strange. I should stop randomly posting in the middle of the night. I should sleep. Or write. As I feel like writing. Huh. Whatever I wrote tonight would probably be highly amusing, in any case. Or highly angsty. As I tend to write angst when at my silliest.
So I say Baby, baby!
Won't you join me on this island
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
Sorry. Song changed. Put the lime in the Coke, you nut.
