Ooooh, now that is rich. From the 'start' where he managed (expertly) not to kick her in the face upon turning and stepping over her! The rest is just a 'study' in slippery 'vertebras.' Fabulous!
cool, but not exactly my decade for music. too polished. I'm old school, I like it closer to raw. here's a story for you. back in the early 80's, I decided one full-time night job in the restaurant biz wasn't enough, so I started installing cable TV. being the new kid, guess where I got to install. that's right, the inner city. I spent 3 years in neighborhoods my peers were afraid to drive thru. unfortunately for them, I soon realized that the cable guy had demigod status there. installing cable TV day in and day out for 3 years during the era of "ghetto blasters" on every shoulder and rap music emerging on the local black radio stations, I knew the lyrics to the most popular songs. street cred x2. casper the friendly ghost, er, ... cable guy, me, had people voluntarily watching my truck while I worked. yeah, some sketchy stuff tried to happen a few times, and did once or twice, but nothing outside of the ordinary bullshit some people tried to pull anywhere else, in fact less. most of the time, my new friends would intercede on my behalf, which always made me smile.
apologies to the author for the derail. to make things right I'll dedicate a song to my fan club.
It's a great message! This song was an important 'part' of a chapter of my life. . .as I learned to accept living in a world that did not accept me for whom I am. It's the message. (I was totally surprised by the video presentation of animals. . .even today when I posted it.)
I like sound and when a music project comes together well too. That is, I am not offended by synth music. (I do not enjoy when it is abused, nevertheless!) I am not a music 'purist' either-I came up under alternative music and the disco era too!

Times a-gettin' hard, boys, money's gettin' scarce. If times don't get no better, boys, goin' to leave this place. Take my true love by the hand, lead her through the town, Say good-bye to ev'ryone, good-bye to ev'ryone,
Take my bible from the bed, shotgun from the wall, Take old Sal and hitch her up, the wagon for to haul. Pile the chairs and beds up high, let nothing drag the ground, Sal can pull, and we can push, we're bound to leave this town.
Made a crop a year ago, it withered to the ground, Tried to get more credit, but the banker turned me down. Goin' to Californi-ay, where ev'rything is green, Goin' to have bestest farm that you have ever seen.
I'm in the office on a rare Saturday catching up with work listening to some tunes.
yearly renewal season?
Yup and it's going to be crazy this year with one of the carriers pulling completely out of the market and several others going no commissions.

Poor Little Fool - The Firebirds
Why did you use the turtle as your article image? It is an important symbol in North American Native culture.
It's the album cover for the first song.

nothing beats simple lyrics with a catchy melody and chorus for great rock and roll ...

Not to change the subject (derail), but I love it when our 'resident' badass says he is "Old School."
Back to the subject of morning work music:
Talk Talk: It's My Life (Official Video)
... vintage MTV filler. heavy on the synthesizers. suitable for walkman dance parties ...

TIMES A-GETTIN' HARD
(learned from Pete Seeger and at Teton Tea parties in the 1960s)
-traditional folk song with new words by Lee Hays)
Times a-gettin' hard, boys, money's gettin' scarce.
If times don't get no better, boys, goin' to leave this place.
Take my true love by the hand, lead her through the town,
Say good-bye to ev'ryone, good-bye to ev'ryone,
Take my bible from the bed, shotgun from the wall,
Take old Sal and hitch her up, the wagon for to haul.
Pile the chairs and beds up high, let nothing drag the ground,
Sal can pull, and we can push, we're bound to leave this town.
Made a crop a year ago, it withered to the ground,
Tried to get more credit, but the banker turned me down.
Goin' to Californi-ay, where ev'rything is green,
Goin' to have bestest farm that you have ever seen.
(from miriam berg's folksong collection)
some music videos are very ... avant garde. I like that ...
every time I watch this video, it cracks me up ...
