Anya ,'Storyteller'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
"As" stupid as ... slagging Beck, Outkast and Radiohead
One's feelings towards Beck, Outkast or Radiohead depend on where one's priorities live. They've all got problems and if you find one of those particularly malodorous, then hating them is fair game.
I agree with that, but I should fully disclose that I have Emmett Miller in my record collection but not Outkast and am therefore, obviously, a Grand Poobah of the Klue Klucks Klan.
"As" stupid as ... slagging Beck, Outkast and Radiohead
Um, out of those three, only Outkast doesn't make me wince. I just don't like Beck or Radiohead. And believe me, I've heard plenty by them because Pete does like both of those artists.
Hey, musicistas. I have a question that I'm having a hard time researching.
I was at work one day, and "Brown-Eyed Girl" came on. A coworker commented that she doesn't like that song, as there aren't any songs about girls with green eyes. By the end of the conversation, I had pledged to make her a CD of such songs.
Anybody know any? Preferably up-beat and likely to be liked by someone who likes music like until Brown-Eyed Girl.
How about "Life in a Nutshell" by Barenaked Ladies?
>She memorized
>Every pencil crayon colour in the box
>Her blue-green eyes
>Complement the burnt sienna in her locks
>She's at the movies, I'm on the phone
>When we're separated we're never alone, but still
>it's never enough, it's never enough,
>No it's never enough
A fun, pop-but-smart love song.
"Temptation", by New Order, sort of.
"Oh, you've got green eyes / Oh, you've got grey eyes / Oh, you've got blue eyes"
Way back in the '70s, there was "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf. 'Twas a hit and all....
eta: Google green eyes song for some more...
eta²: From iTunes:
plus about twenty different groups have songs called "Green Eyes"
Of course, I have no idea what any of these songs sound like (Except for the Sugarloaf one).
Oh, and "When She Comes Around" by Steve Wynn - I love that song....
Doesn't Coldplay have a song called "Green Eyes"?
Yeah. That one one of the popular hits when I did the google....
eta: The following google:
"green eyes" lyrics -coldplay
...comes up with quite a lot. (The '-coldplay' eliminates all the Coldplay matches, as there are quite a lot of them.)
Yeah, a friend of mine danced to the Coldplay song at her wedding --both bride and groom have green eyes.
