Anyway, heading to the 'rents house soon, so on to the list.
TTT#8 Playlist
TTT Mega Mix
Twitter For Spotify Playlist
I have decided to do this in two stages. Songs expressing gratitude of some sort that feed some sort of punny creature hidden in the back of my brain and things I am personally thankful for.
On with the show...
Ladies of Gold
This one is a given. I am thankful for 80's TV shows and Erin is thankful for Betty White.
Thank You For Being A Friend - Andrew Gold
Not Eminem
I am thankful that this version exists. I used to love the hook of the Eminem song Stan and I didn't want to listen to that every time.
Thank You - Dido
Beards Make You More Manly
It's true. These guys are the kings, THE Kings, of beards. Period. <--see ZZ Top. Thankful for beards.
I Thank You - ZZ Top
This One Is About Uncle Joey
If you don't get that title, let me explain. The song You Outta Know, at least in part, was about Dave Coulier, of Uncle Joey of Full House fame. That is all. She is thankful for just about everything.
Thank U - Alanis Morissette
Would You Like To See My Mask?
Nooooo, Not that scarecrow. The OG scarecrow. The one who was smart all along but still thought he needed a brain. Remember? Well I am thankful that my sisters and I were raised by caring intelligent people that refused to release children into the world with zero brain power. There is a lot of stupid out there people. They are among us. However, the authors of this blog are (mostly) not among them.
If I Only Had A Brain - THE Scarecrow
Otis Williams and The Distants
I am thankful for my beebs (That's my girlfriend for you uninitiated). This song goes out to her. =) Lerv.
My Girl - The Temptations
The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make
Truer words were never spoken. I am severely thankful for all the cool people in my life. Family. Loved ones. Friends. People on the street. All you need is love people. The rest is just chaff.
All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
BONUS!!!
Ok...so the last thing I am thankful for is Star Wars. I have sooooo many memories attached to it. Going to the special editions with Sherry, Paul and Bobby and Bobby knocked the drink out of the waitresses hands and we had to go back so he could change. The time dad took me to like 8 stores in Houston to try and find the last action figure I needed for my collection, and when we found C-3PO at a random walmart stop on the way home. I have a pic of me when I was very young with an ewok. I am a life long fan. Deal.
Star Wars Title - John Williams
That's it this week folks! Hope you have/had a Happy Thanksgiving!
KKNY signing off. pssssssshhhhhhhhtt *other radio noises* (use your imagination)
*Explanation of the title: it is a mispronunciation of Thanks for the Memories By Fall Out Boy song lyrics by a contestant Montana Martin On Canadian Idol*
Happy Thanksgiving little ewok brother...I too am thankful for such great, loving parents. I love that Dad drove you all over God's creation to find your Star Wars figure. I can remember at about the age of 14 in a teenage "boy obsessed" state I begged Dad to drive me by this boys house to see if he was home. And he did. LOL. Such a patient and understanding father. I'm thankful for all the ridiculous kid requests that Dad granted for us over the years!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, great mix of thankful songs. Who knew Uncle Joey was the source of that bitter song. I didn't think he had it.
And P.S. - Juggalo's made me giggle...
Ok...I missed the Juggalo thing...idk what that's about. I also didn't know that Alanis Morrisette dated one of the mullet-ed lesbians on Full House (credit for that moniker goes to the other "dude" that had a mullet on that show...I have no names for these people.
ReplyDeleteI TOO am grateful for the Golden Girls...ie Betty White, and Bea Arthur cuz they are great! Cuz they tell it like it is!
I (sadly) don't remember a crazy request,like stalking 14 yr old boys, but I know Dad & Mom are always willing to go the extra mile. I HAVE mentioned that aspartame has eaten holes in my brain, haven't I??
And you couldn't look more like one of the original Ewoks if you tried. it's uncanny, really. Also, I read that this song was for "my beebs" but it was right below the link to If I only had a brain, at which point I thought you were going to get into some trouble for that sassy statement...but I kept reading and you are OK!!
Over and out KKNY.....
Ya know all of those little other than white colored words are links. If you clicked "they" it would have brought you to the Juggalos. Which are basically, for the most part (not all, but 98%) human filth. I am glad you guys like my list.
ReplyDeleteMom and Dad are ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond as parents. I feel sorry for anyone that didn't have them as parents. I distinctly remember dad letting me blast the black album at ear splitting volume on the way to Houston. I am pretty sure that isn't generally his style of music, as I don't hear Metallica on his youtube playlists BUT mom is an Eagles fan, so stranger things have happened.
