Alrighty, I like ROCK!!!!!!!! Thousand Foot Krutch is one of my favorites. I would go into detail on all the bands I love, but you could see that on “October Surprise”, and you’ll probably see it again when D_Q posts his list.
I would really like to go into the songs I HATE. Last night I was hanging out with my friend and another girl, whne the subject of musiv vame up. They were naming all these bands and songs that make me want to gag, so my mind is now on that. The number one song on my hate list is: Cristmas Shoes, by Newsong. I dread Christmas every year because I know I will be forced to listen to that song at some point. For those of you who have never heard it, it goes something like this: The guy who is telling the story tells us that he was ina store on Christmas Eve, when he saw this kid about to bkuy something. In the chorus, the kid saysto the store owner: Sir I want to buy thes shoes, For my Mamma please. It’s Christmas Eve and thes shoes are just her style, Could who hurry sir, Daddy says there’s not much time, You see, She’s been sick fo quite a while, and I, know these shoes wiil make her smile, and I, want her to look beautiful, If Mamma meets Jesus tonight.
Sorry, I don’t know what happend, I’ll continue that thought down here.
Then it turns out the kid doesn’t have enough money!! He panics, and is runnig around all upset , not because his mother is dying, but because he can’t buy her shoes!!! Then the guy who is telling the story buys the shoes for the kid, and feels good. Adding to the horro of this song, it is all sung in a very sweet and sappy tone buy the leader of Newsong. It is about as sappy as songs can possibly be. When it comes on, I want to smash my radio! It’s the ultimate sentimental song, if there was such a thing as a “chick tune”, this would be the defintion of one.
I also hate everything by Matthew West. i could drive off a bridge when “it’s Not The End” comes on. HE goes on and on about how it’s not the end of the world, and all the time I’m thinking, “I WISH it was!!!” Same with “Thirteen”. They’re both so fluffy, and just generally TINKIE that Iit makes we want to hit something really, really hard.
And Rebecca St. James!!! Gosh, I just wish she would SING!!! She doesn’t sing, she wines!! It sounds like she’s trying to seduce someone, and she’s singing about God!!! And at the end of every line, she *GASPS*. It’s really trrible.
Sorry, I just really felt like saying all that.

My favorite song is Safety Dance by Men With No Hats
I like “Layla” which is by someone who I forget. Also the Harry Potter 3 soundtrack, by John Williams. I am not really acquainted with any modern pop type music. Oh, there’s this song that I tihnk is called “Dust in the Wind”. Lovely. And another song that is something to do with the words ” I will survive”. Plus a song for which the chorus goes: Sweet dreams are made of these/Something I forget disagrees/Travel the world, and the seven seas/Everybody’s looking for something.
Sad but true. I hear songs at school dances or whereever, and I like them, but I don’t know anything about who made them.
Just out of curiosity, who do I appeal to to start another thread? Maybe we should start a thread where people can post their suggestions for threads?
Such as:
Type in a Language That Is Not English Day
Share Your Favorite Word
Start a Random Quiz (everybody adding a question)
LOTR Discuss
Type Backwards Day
etc etc etc
WoojaKitty: All you have to do to suggest a new thread is to suggest it, just like you did. We like to start new threads. Sometimes we wait a little while to add them, though. That’s because we think that starting too many threads at once might distract musebloggers from giving each individual thread the attention it deserves.
Awright music.
Phoebe’s List ‘O Bands and Songs
Anything Enya

I know I have the randomest stuff.
Layla is by Eric Clapton, I believe, and it was written to Pattie Boyd, who was married to George Harrison, who was in the Beatles and then they got divorced and Pattie married Clapton. George came to the wedding.
Hey, I love Veggie Tales!!! I actually have a CD with a bunch of real contemporary Christian artists performing some of the songs. I also have a Silly Songs With Larry CD, that really rocks!! I always laugh really hard at “Barbara Manatee” and a bunch of others that I’m too lazy to think of and type out right now.
Go Veggie Tales!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeee!!!! I LOVE those songs
is barbara manatee the one w/the stuffed manatee or is that something completely different? was it even a stuffed manatee? it was a stuffed purple something anyway.
i like the spanish one where bob has to translate all of larry’s insults and then he ends up chasing him around the room. that one’s funny!
“Barbara Manatee” did have a stuffed manatee that Larry danced with to show his love for the charater Barbara Manatee,who was on a soap opera. I also love the spanish one. My cousins and I act it out when they come to visit from Colorado. Go freaks!!!
I like Sesame Street. It’s good music.
All together now- C is for cookie..
You know, this whole VeggieTales thing is new to me. Perhaps someone will explain it to me one day.
I personally love UB40 (great, but dead, band that is officially classified as rock, but really isn’t), The Bravery (awesome music, but no personal history, Fishbone (froody 70s music), Simon and Garfunkel (no duh), Eurythmics, Talking Heads (STOP MAKING SENSE IS SO UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC!) and the Clash (no duh. NO DUH. ). Have I used up my parenthese limit yet?
I like Simon and Garfunkel. My last-year-Spanish-teacher got to go see them in concert last summer. She won tickets or something.
Was the title of this “Writing” for a while, or am I going crazy, or both?
I’ve never heard Veggie Tales. Not particularily interested in it, either.
Lizzie, it was titled “Writing” for a day or two. I had meant to title it “Writing about music” but got interrupted and lost my train of thought and then posted it as just “Writing” by mistake! Oops.
Queen J- you’ll find out soon enough what veggie tales is!!
in the meantime…
d is for donkey
e is for elephant
umm.. oh yeah!!
f is for frog……….or something like that!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoom!!!
Oh, and just to let you know, Veggie tales is a funny little cartoon that I see previews at when we go to hotels about cucumbers with faces. They look like the little creatures that you see posted all over olive garden’s walls.
Wootakitty, I lvoe the Sweet Dreams song. I think it’s by Blondie
My dad is a teacher and he is REALLY tough. He always comes to school and teaches the Jonah story first thing, and just before school started my 5 year old brother found the VeggieTales movie about Jonah. So he brought it in and had the students watch it, and analyze how it went, how it compares to OUR version, how it viewed prophets, and whatnot. It was really funny, and, belive it or not, it is mostly accurate in its portrayel of the story and prophets. However (and I don’t want to have a religion war with MontgomoryGurl here, so I just want everyone to know that I do not begrudge this), there were hints all over the movie that Judism is wrong and Christianity is much better. I mean, of course everyone follows a religion because they know it is right, but that still isn’t very nice. I think MY religion is right, too! But it is still a VERY funny movie, even though it is for little kiddies.
Thanks for the assistance.
I have never heard any Veggie Tales stuff. Is it good? What exactly is it? Movies or TV show or music? Ha ha, I’ve gone to the Olive Garden a few times and we got these cheap plastic cups with sappy-looking olives with faces on them. Spooky.
Does anyone besides me look back on previous threads?
yay olive garden! that’s a pretty good place. plus u can laugh at the olive peoples.
i go back to old threads but i mostly lurk. i don’t post much there.
yay! *lurklurklurk*
we should bribe the GAPAs w/ lotsa choklit and have them move the music comments from the oct. thread over to here. or we could do some major copy+paste work. anyhoo, they should just come here just because because because because because blahblahblah yay!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone WoojaKitty. I look back on the previous threads a little too much, in fact. In the “Robin Writing” thread, I read the whole thing.
yaay! veggietales song (from the Jonah story thing):
This is the song that runs under the credits
These are the credits, so this is where it goes
Has nothing to do with the movie so we’ll say
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey
There once was a song, that ran under the credits
That went with the movie, but this is not that song
Has nothing to do with the movie so we’ll say
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Wouldn’t it be nice if the song under the credits,
Had something to do with the movie you just saw
But that is not the case so for now we’ll have to say
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey
There should be a rule that the song under the credits
Remotely pertains to the movie’s basic plot
That rule has not been made so for now we’ll have to say
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey hey (cont forever…)
Ack, major string tuning today because I changed my strings yesterday. Seriously. It took me 10 minutes to get my strings in tune ONCE, because I would get the A in tune, and then try to tune it to the D, and then realize the A was slipping, and then the A, D, and G would slip at the same time and I’d have to tune them all back up, etc, and my A peg is in an uncomfortable position..
oh well. At least I’m not using catgut.
Boxty (20),
You’re close. “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” is by the Eurythmics.
I will clarify Veggie Tlaes further for those poor ignorant bloggers among us. It’s a series of childrens videos wherein vegetables act out Bible stories, with a twist. They’re really hilarious, believe it or not.
Phoenix, I have zero desire to get into a religion war with you, and I strongly suspect that it would annoy everyone else on the blog a ton, as it would be totally irrelevant to them. I think everone is glad we decided not to go into that.
MotgomeryGurl, u spelled Tales wrong in veggie tales-it’s tales, not tlaes!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoom!!!
yay for veggie tales! except there’s really no point to the religious stuff they put in, it just zooms (or as kitten would say zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooms) right over peoples heads. they don’t care about the moral they just think it’s all hilarious! but that’s ok, cuz it is! funnyfunnyfunnyfunnyfunny
whoo’ssssss in maaaaarching baaaaaand? i’ve asked this like a million times already but i neeeed to rant about it w/somebody! it’s sooo cooool. any other band geeks here?
i like bnl. bnl cool. bnl funny. bnl rocks! yaaay i like the song one week.
Veggie Tales lyrics:
“The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything ”
Narrator: “And now it’s time for Silly Songs With Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song. Joining Larry are Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt, who together make up the infamous gang of scalliwags, the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything!”
Larry, Pa, Mr. Lunt: “We are the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything! We just stay home and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we’ll just tell you …”
Larry: “We don’t do anything!”
Pa: “Well, I’ve never been Greenland and I’ve never been to Denver, and I’ve never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul, and I’ve never been to Moscow and I’ve never been to Tampa, and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall.”
All: “‘Cuz we’re the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything! We just stay home and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we’ll just tell you…”
Mr. Lunt: “We don’t do anything. And I never hoist the mainstay and I never swab the poop deck, and I never veer to starboard ‘cuz I never sail at all, and I’ve never walked the gang plank and I’ve never owned a parrot, and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall.”
All: “‘Cuz we’re the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything! We just stay at home and lie around. And if you ask us to do anything, we’ll just tell you… We don’t do anything!”
Larry: “Well, I’ve never plucked a rooster and I’m not too good at ping-pong, and I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall, and I’ve never kissed a chipmunk and I’ve never gotten head lice, and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall!”
Pa: “Huh? What are you talking about? What’s a rooster and mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate??”
Mr. Lunt: “Hey, that’s right! We’re supposed to sing about pirate-y things!”
Larry: “Oh …”
Pa: “And who ever kissed a chipmunk? That’s just nonsense! Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?”
Mr. Lunt: “I think you look like Cap’n Crunch!”
Pa: “Huh? No I don’t!”
Mr. Lunt: “Do too.”
Pa: “Do not!”
Mr. Lunt: “You’re making me hungry.”
Pa: “That’s it, you’re walkin’ the plank!”
Mr. Lunt: “Says who?”
Pa: “Says the captain, that’s who!”
Mr. Lunt: “Oh, yeah? Aye aye, Cap’n Crunch!”
Larry: “And I’ve never licked a spark plug and I’ve never sniffed a stink bug, and I’ve never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball, and I’ve never bathed in yogurt and I don’t look good in leggings …”
Pa: “You just don’t get it!”
All: “And we’ve never been to Boston in the fall!”
“Love My Lips ”
Narrator: “One day while talking with Dr. Archibald, Larry confronts one of his deepest fears …”
Larry: “If my lips ever left my mouth, packed a bag and headed south, that’d be too bad, I’d be so sad.”
Archibald: “I see. That’d be too bad, you’d be so sad?”
Larry: “That’d be too bad. If my lips said “adios, I don’t like you I
think you’re gross,” that’d be too bad, I might get mad.”
Archibald: “That’d be too bad, you might get mad?”
Larry: “That’d be too bad. If my lips moved to Duluth, left a mess and took my tooth, that’d be too bad, I’d call my Dad.”
Archibald: “That’d be too bad, you’d call your Dad?”
Larry: “That’d be too bad.”
Archibald: “Hold it. Did you say your father? Fascinating! So what you’re saying is that if your lips left you …”
Larry: “That’d be too bad, I’d be so sad, I might get mad, I’d call my Dad. That be too bad.”
Archibald: “That’d be to bad?”
Larry: “That’d be too bad.”
Archibald: “Why?”
Larry: “Because I love my lips.” [Scatting]
Archibald: “Oh my … This is more serious than I thought. Larry, tell me, what do you see here?”
Larry: “Um, that looks like a lip.”
Archibald: “And this?”
Larry: “It’s a lip!”
Archibald: “And this?”
Larry: “It’s a lip, it’s a lip, it’s a lip lip lip! It’s a lip, it’s a lip, it’s a lip lip lip! It’s a lip, it’s a lip, it’s a lip lip lip. Liiiiiiiiiiiips. Lip lip lip.”
Archibald: “Larry, tell me about your childhood.”
Larry: “When I was just two years old I left my lips out in the cold and they turned blue. What could I do?”
Archibald: “They turned blue, what could you do?”
Larry: “Oh they turned blue. On the day I got my tooth I had to kiss my Great Aunt Ruth. She had a beard … and it felt weird.”
Archibald: “My, my. She had a beard and it felt weird?”
Larry: “She had a beard. Ten days after I turned eight, got my lips stuck in a gate. My friends all laughed. And I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crow bar and I had to spend the next six weeks in lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got stung by a bee – right on the lip – and we couldn’t even talk to each other until the fifth week because both our lips were so swollen, and when he did start speaking he just spoke Polish and I only knew like three words in Polish except now I know four because Oscar taught me the word for lip: Oosta.”
Archibald: “Your friends all laughed … Oosta? How do you spell that?”
Larry: “I don’t know.”
Archibald: “So what you’re saying is that when you were young …”
Larry: “They turned blue, what could I do? She had a beard and it felt weird. My friends all laughed … Oosta!”
Archibald: “I’m confused …”
Larry: “I love my lips!” [Scatting]
Narrator: “This has been Silly Songs With Larry. Tune in next time to hear Larry say …”
Larry: “Have I ever told you how I feel about my nose?”
Archibald: “Oh, look at the time!”
“His Cheeseburger ”
He said to her I’d like a cheeseburger
And I might like a milkshake as well
She said to him I can’t give you either
And he said isn’t this Burger Bell
She said yes it is but we’re closed now
But we open tomorrow at ten
He said I am extremely hungry
But I guess I can wait until then
Cause you’re his cheeseburger, his yummy cheeseburger
He’ll wait for you
Yeah, he’ll wait for you
Oh, you are his cheeseburger
His tasty cheeseburger
He’ll wait for you
Oh, he will wait for you
He stayed at the drive-thru till sunrise
He may have dozed off once or twice
When he spotted a billboard for Denny’s
Bacon and eggs for half price
How could he resist such an offer?
He really needed something to munch
Cheeseburger, please do not get angry
He’ll eat and be back here for lunch
Cause you’re his cheeseburger
His precious cheeseburger
Be back for you
He’ll be back for you
Won’t be so long cheeseburger
Oh lovely cheeseburger
Be back for you
Oh, he’ll be back for you
Cause he loves you, cheeseburger
With all his heart
And there ain’t nothing
Gonna tear you two apart
And if the world suddenly
Ran out of cheese
He would get down
On his hands and knees
To see if someone accidentally
Dropped some cheese in the dirt
And he would wash it off for you
Wipe it off for you
Clean the dirty cheese off just for you
You are his cheesebur… ger
“Endangered Love”
Narrator: And now it’s time for Silly Songs With Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song. We join Larry as he follows the tragic saga of Barbara Manatee in the day time drama “Endangered Love.”
Larry: Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (up above, up above)
You are the one I love (I love, I love, I love)
Bill: Please dont cry Barbara,
You’re a nice manatee,
You’ve been so good to me
But I must go into the world and to noble things for the good of all
And you can’t come because you don’t speak French
Au revoir!
Barbara: But if you leave, Bill,
Who will take me to the ball?
Who’s going to take me to the ball, Bill?
I have a new dress and shoes
And new manatee lipstick!
Who will take me to the ball?
Larry: I’ll take you to the ball Barbara Manatee!
Barbara: Please don’t go!
Bill: I must!
Barbara: Don’t go!
Bill: I must!
Barbara: Don’t!
Bill: Must!
Barbara: Don’t don’t!

Larry: Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)
Sent from up above (a manatee from heaven)
You are the one I love
Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)
I’ll be your mon amie (mon amie, mon amie)
I’ll take you to the ball (to the ball, to the ball)
I hope you’re not too tall (I hope you’re not too tall for dancing!)
Barbara: Bill, I’ve learned French.
Bill: You have?
Barbara: Mais, oui. Je suis Manatee. See?
Bill: Oui, oui mon amie
I always knew you could
I really hoped you would
Now can we go into the world and do noble things for the good of all?
Barbara: Yes, but first, will you take me to the ball?
Oh, Bill, will you take me to the ball?
Bill: …I can’t dance.
Barbara: You can’t?
Bill: No.
Barbara: I must go.
Bill: Please don’t go!
Barbara: I must!
Bill: Don’t go!
Barbara: I must!
Bill: Don’t!
Barbara: Must!
Bill: Don’t don’t!
Barbara: Must must!
Larry: Barbara Mantee (Manatee, Manatee)
You are the one…
(Door opens)
Bob: Larry? What are you doing?
Larry: Just… watchin’… a little TV… Bob.
Bob: Well, maybe you should read a book.
Larry: Yeah, okay.
Narrator: This has been Silly Songs With Larry. Tune in next time to hear Bill say…
Bill: Oh Barbara, I’ve learned to dance!
Barbara: Oh, Bill!
Have you ever heard the sondtrack to LOTR? I don’t like the classical parts of it, but “Into the West” is so ggggrrrreat!
I have it’s lyrics: Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey’s end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You’re only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
Hope fades
Until the world of night
Through shadows’ falling
Out of memory and time
Don’t say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you’ll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

One of my second favorite songs is “Harumonia” by Rythem.
I’ll post the lyrics some day…
Not to offend anyone, but I’ve always seen Veggie Tales as religious propoganda that distorts things. But that’s just me. I’m Catholic, so I’m not saying religion is bad, but that’s just my opinion.
>:D
Oh, and Yo-Yo Ma. I have a Bach cello suite of his ( at least that’s what the title says) on my iPod.
Of course Veggie Tales is religious propoganda!!! It’s supposed to be a CHRISTIAN show, the fact that people of other religions watch it isn’t the creators’s fault!!!! I’m sorry, I probably shouldn’t have said that because I just might spark a religion war, but I really don’t want to get into all that, I just wanted to defend my beloved Veggie Tales.
i just ignore the religious stuff. actually i think most other people do to. the non-religious stuff, like the silly songs and all, that’s the stuff people remember cuz they’re SO FUNNY!!! it sorta makes it feel like it’s not all religion, y’know? or am i making no sense at all here?
Which Bach Cello Suite? I saw Yo-Yo Ma in concert once- it was really cool. I like Rostrapovich’s (sic) version of the cello suites better, though..
Yay. I made 2nd chair at Region. Which isn’t bad, because I missed the last shift and was all out of tune on the last measure of the last piece.. Everyone else was playing it out of tune, and I guess I just listened to them.. But 2nd chair is good. Yay. And I had to get up at 5:50 to go to the auditions, because they were held 2 hours away from us, so I took a nap when I got back, and now I’m all groggy and disoriented.
YAAAAAAY LIZZIE!!!
i’ve never heard yo-yo ma, but his name rocks.
yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo ma. lol!
wait i might’ve heard him once when i was too small to care…i don’t really remember. either him or some other person.
who likes jaaaaaazz? that’d be me. yaaaay! i saw wynton marsalis (yah eye probeblee spleled hes naym rong) that tooooooooooootally rocked. i went w/my friend and my dad. very cool. again like ages ago but sure that works.
guuuuuuuyssssssssssssssssssss…i doesn’t really wants to do mine homework right nows….grr… but i gots to. arrgh.
things with spirit, as mentioned in the muses thread, include music. especialy “Pines of Rome”.
I just got two brand new CDs by Thousand Foot Krutch!!!! I now ahve Phenomenon, and The Art of Breaking!!!! I’m so happy, I’ve been listening to them all day!!! How many of you have ever heard the song “Rawkfist”? Well, that’s them!!! I’m so totally on a high.
Happy CD day to you.
Cha cha cha!!
Happy CD day to you.

Happy CD day to MontgomeryGurl.
Cha cha cha!!
Happy CD day to you.
CHA CHA CHA!!!!!!
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Krissy also known as Kricket!!!!! I’m actually having alot of fun listening to them. These are the last words I’ll ever really get to say to you…. No!!!!!!!!!! Not really, I just have that song reverberating around my head. ….So listen very carefully, and know that life is more than just the games you’re playing. Sorry, I had a weird moment.
Even though I know no one cares, I’m spazzing and poting some lyrics. From the best song ever, Rewrite
Wanting to spit out the jarred thoughts
Because there’s no other proof of my existence
My future that I should’ve grabbed hold is
Conflicting between “dignity” and “freedom”
Wanting to erase the distorted afterimage
Because I’ll see my limit over there
In the window of the excessively self-conscious me
There are no dates in last year’s calendar
Erase and rewrite
The pointless ultra-fantasy
Revive
The unforgettable sense of being
Rewrite
The meaningless imagination
The driving force that creates you
Give it your whole body and soul
Japanese music owns. XD
I LOVE the HAMSTER DANCE!!!!!
dee dee da dee da doo doo
da dee da dee da doo!
deedeedadeedeedee da da dee dee da dee doo!

I also am a big fan of Ali and AJ!!!!! In fact I’m listening to their song I downloaded from Napster (Walking on Sunshine) !!!!!!
I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I’m suuuure.
And I just can’t wait till the day when you knock on the door.
Now every time I go for the mailbox got to hold myself down.
Cause I just can’t wait till your rap me your coming arooouund.
(Chorus)
I’m walking on sunshine. Whooooowwww!!!!
I’m walking on sunshine. Whooooooowww!!!!!
I’m walking on sunshine. Whooooooowww!!!!
And don’t it feel good!!!! Hey! Allrighty now!
And don’t it feel good!!!! Hey! Allrighty now!
(End of Kricket’s interesting singing)

Flew in from Miami Beach BUAC,
Didn’t get to bed last night,
All the way the paperback was on my knee,
Man I had a dreadful flight.
Major brownie points for knowing what song that is, who it’s by, and what album it’s on.
Third Day’s new CD is coming out Tuesday!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited, I don’t know what ot do!!!!!!!!! I’ve already pre-bought it, and my mom will pick it up the day it comes out. Sadly, I won’t be here to listen ot it until Saturday :cries:. I don’t know how I will live until then.

Since I’m going to a conference tomorrow, we’ll pick it up onthe way there. Maybe I can get a copy of the new CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) magazine!!!!!!!!!!! It has Third Day on the cover.

scroll down to “listen to samples” and click “waking the witch”. it’s about a girl struggling to stay awake in freezing water, and she is hallucinating and remembering her witch trial with other memories melting in.

The 1812 overature was based on the war that happened in 1812 that I can’t remember the name of….
Here’s the lyrics. The music is a bit creepy.
“Wake up!”
“A good morning, ma’am. Your early morning call.”
“You must wake up!”
“[titter] Wake up! [titter]”
“Wake up, man!”
“Wake up, child! Pay attention!”
“Come on, wake up!”
“Wake up, love!”
“We should make the night, but see your little light’s alive!”
“Stop that lyin’ and a-sleepin’ in bed–get up!”
“Ma needs a shower. Get out of bed!” [words uncertain]
“Little light…”
“Can you not see that little light up there?”
“Where?”
“There!”
“Where?”
“Over here!”
“You still in bed?”
“Wake up, sleepy-head!”
“We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water”
“Don’t you know you’ve kept him waiting?”
“Look who’s here to see you!”
“Listen to me, listen to me, baby. Listen, baby, help me,
baby! Help me, help me! Listen to me, talk to me!”
“You won’t burn.”
“Red, red roses.”
“You won’t bleed.”
“Pinks and posies.”
“Confess to me, girl.”
“Red, red roses,”*
“Go down!”
“Spiritus sanctus in nomine…[inaudible]”
“Spiritus sanctus in nomine…[inaudible]”
“Spiritus sanctus in nomine…[inaudible]”
“Spiritus sanctus in nomine…[inaudible]”
“Poor little thing,”
“Red, red roses,”
“The blackbird!”
“Pinks and posies.”
“Wings in the water,”
“Red, red roses, Go down,”**
“Go down.”
“Pinks and posies.”
“Deus et dei domino…[inaudible]”
“Deus et dei domino…[inaudible]”
“Deus et dei domino…[inaudible]”
“Deus et dei domino…[inaudible]”
“What is it, child?”
“Bless me, father, bless me, father, for I have sinned.”
“Red, red roses!”
“Help me, listen to me!”
“Red, red rose!”
“I question your innocence!”
“Help this blackbird!”
“She’s a witch!”
“There’s a stone around my leg.”
“Uh! Damn you, woman!”
“Help this blackbird!
There’s a stone around my leg.”
“What say you, good people?”
“Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!”
“Help this blackbird!”
“I am responsible for your actions.”
“Oh-hoh-hoh!”
“Not guilty!”
“Help this blackbird!”
“Wake up the witch!”
“Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!”
I love that song SOOOO much! I like Kate Bush after she stopped singing in opperetta, but before she stopped writing music for weird people like me. It is still scary, though… also, all the songs together tell a story, did you know?
i have no clue whatsoever… si amigos…
About that song from ………………………………………………………………………………………………………Oliver!…………Who will buy this beautiful morning?
I was getting my hair cut the other day, and some version of it come on the radio. Jazzy bluesy popish, I don’t know how to describe it. The station didn’t say who recorded it and I really want to have it. Does anyone have any idea who it was? And someday if I have an extra million dollars, I will give it to you.
Phoenix, I tottally agree!!!!

End of Random Ranting Orchestra Person Moment.
7th. what is a frumpet?
a frumpet is a marching french horn…wow! i’m answering somebody’s question? unheard of! usually the almost-omniscient Q&A GAPA beats me to it. anyway it’s kinda like a trumpet, except bigger. not as big as a f horn though, and way easier to march with.
and it has a cool name!!! FRUMPET FRUMPET FRUMPET!!!
oooooh! ive seen those! they look kind of like trumpets starting to unravle and loosen up……… i just didn’t know what they were called…… frumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpetfrumpet!
