Super Mega Monkey Ultra Extreme III Alright!!!!

A young person following the news for the first time would probably think that an economist is someone who gets on television to say how surprised he is by the economy.

    Random Lyrics Thursday
    IFO by (hed) pe

    Somewhere, somehow, somewhen
    We'll see it happen again, my friend
    A simple visitation gone wrong like back in '47
    Only this time we'll be on the scene like Kent Brockman
    Or Sam Donaldson live in New Mexico
    But now you can't fool us
    Now you can't lie or deny so much
    It's obvious why none of us trust you
    How does a flying disc turn into a weather balloon
    How long did you think you could trick us with lies?
    Can't put a cover on the skies
    Can't hide that face or those big black eyes
    So how you gonna put a cover up on the skies?
    Realize, I'm not surprised at your deception
    Correction, I welcome the challenge to intercept it
    The message loud & clear
    You think we fear it
    Reverse it
    Me & mine we will embrace it
    So face it
    I got the 411
    I got the CNN
    We on-line
    TV & me we kin
    My click is the mandelbrot set
    My crops lie unbroken
    Your hoaxes, a feeble attempt
    Circle perfect, bring the revelation
    Your realization far too many videotapes to go around erasin'
    This ain't no J.F.K.
    Check the I.F.O.-out the box
    Fresh like sightings on FOX
    Documenting the coming of the chariots
    Gods in the making, no more jiving
    No more fakin' the real
    How long did you think you could trick us with lies
    Tricks are for punks
    Can't hide the face or those deep black eyes
    How you gonna put a cover-up on the skies?
    Take me to your leader
    He don't even know you
    We the niggaz of earth
    Got to show you
    The peckerwoods can't stand the site of the Africans
    What are they gonna do when they face off with a gray man
    Prepare to meet your maker in the skies over the pyramids
    Check Stonehenge
    Go ask the Mayans
    2012 soon come
    I will be waitin' sayin' I told you so
    When the skies are ripped open
    And the mothership lands on your cynical ass
    Maybe then you will believe & concede
    That you can't hide the sun
    Can't hide the moon
    Can't keep some secrets so big
    Yes, the truth must transcend
    And when it does, my friend I will be chillin' by the TV
    Rockin' with CNN
    Yeah, my bong in hand
    Surrounded by friends
    When the world as we know it will end

    Venus In Furs by the Velvet Underground

    shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
    whiplash girlchild in the dark
    comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
    strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

    downy sins of streetlight fancies
    chase the costumes she shall wear
    ermine furs adorn the imperious
    severin, severin awaits you there

    i am tired, i am weary
    i could sleep for a thousand years
    a thousand dreams that would awake me
    different colors made of tears

    kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
    shiny leather in the dark
    tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
    strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

    severin, severin, speak so slightly
    severin, down on your bended knee
    taste the whip, in love not given lightly
    taste the whip, now plead for me

    i am tired, i am weary
    i could sleep for a thousand years
    a thousand dreams that would awake me
    different colors made of tears

    shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
    whiplash girlchild in the dark
    severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
    strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

    Les Paul

    I guess i never realized that Les Paul literally invented the solid-body electric guitar:

    A tinkerer and musician since childhood, he experimented with guitar amplification for years before coming up in 1941 with what he called "The Log," a four-by-four piece of wood strung with steel strings.

    "I went into a nightclub and played it. Of course, everybody had me labeled as a nut." He later put the wooden wings onto the body to give it a traditional guitar shape.

    Update: Reading more about this, it seems Leo Fender and Adolph Rickenbacher also independently came up with their own solid body inventions, so it's not quite as linear as i first thought.

    U Got the Look by Prince

    Here we are folks
    The dream we all dream off

    Mr. Jackhammer Man by Michelle Maldow & the Smoots

    Well my kitchen floor is warm
    And i aint' got no heated floorboards
    I hear the pipes a'flowing
    But the water ain't headin' sink-wards

    We've been eatin' nothin' but take-out
    But our kitchen's almost done
    Just in time for us
    To build another one

    Mr. Jackhammer Man!
    Wake the neighbor's baby!
    Mr. Jackhammer Man!
    Smash our new tiles and cabinets, maybe!
