Song lyric stuck in my head...

"Part of Your World" from Little Mermaid.

Capt Spleen

I wanna tell you 'bout texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
Others, mean and ruthful of the western dream
I love the friends i have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the pharaoh died


The negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."


Listen to this, and i'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of god
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul


I'll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn


I'll tell you 'bout texas radio and the big beat
Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language


Now, listen to this, and i'll tell you 'bout the texas
I'll tell you 'bout the texas radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul

Stuck in my mind for three days....if you have to have one, that isn't too shabby!

We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun,
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.


I have a friend in town, he's heard your name.
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games I don't know
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind.
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;
You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

Rikki don't lose that number
(Rikki don't lose that number)
Rikki don't lose that number

~~Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Steely Dan

Did you know that great guitar solo is NOT Walter Becker but 'Skunk' Baxter? Yep!

I do love me some Steely Dan. One of the best of all bands of the past 50 years. Becker and Fagan are musical geniuses.

If you ever get a chance to see them in concert, GO!

I've seen them five times.  ;D

Their unique sound is attributed to the fact that they started out as studio musicians and employed studio musicians.

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love oh yeah

I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love

I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
I want a Sunday kind of love

~~Sunday Kind of Love, Etta James

I commented on a friend's post on FB just to be sassy and made reference to this song...and damn...now it's stuck in my head. Only posting the chorus because the rest tends to be a bit profane...

'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up?

Over Mountains
Over Trees
Over Oceans
Over Seas
I'll be there

In a whisper on the wind
On the smile of a new friend
Just think of me
And I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
To be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
But I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I'll be there

Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'd fly
To be with you
I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
To be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
But I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

In the breath of a wind that sighs
Oh, there's no need to cry

Just think of me,
And I'll be there
What doesn't kill me-had better run.

In my head all day at work..didn't help that it was on the CD. We had it blasting off the walls.  Great guitar work.

Didn't I hear you cry this mornin'
Didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops flowing down on me
Like rivers in my sleep

In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Tellin' me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tear

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no

Didn't I hear your voice this mornin'
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin' like the sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the laughter never come

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no

Didn't you feel alone this morning
Didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin' back again

That's a strange way to tell me you love me

this song..."We Are Young" that the Chevy uses for one of its cars by the band Fun.
The main refrain

Tonight, we are young.
So I set the world on fire.
We can burn brighter
Than the sun....

Carry me home tonight,
Carry me home tonight...
