Smiling to myself today...54. Killer Queen - Queen

54. Killer Queen – Queen
(I know it is about a prostitute…but I still love the song)

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
‘Let them eat cake’ she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can’t decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She’s a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you’re that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
for cars she couldn’t care less
Fastidious and precise

Drop of a hat she’s as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She’s out to get you

Smiling to myself today...53. Blinded by the light - Manfredd Mann Earth Band

53. Blinded by the light – Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said “I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break”
And go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She’s gonna make it through the night
She’s gonna make it through the night
But mama, that’s where the fun is
But mama, that’s where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye’s of the sun
But mama, that’s where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, “Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it’s funny bone,
that’s where they expect it least”
And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy’s within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band

Smiling to myself today...52. Nina Simone "Feeling Good"

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
For me
And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel 3 months ago


Smiling to myself today...51. "Thrift Shop"

Yep….I’m a 45 yr old mom….my kids find it funny I like this song…but I do like to sing along :)

I tried to cut out the bad words…..lol

“Thrift Shop”
(feat. Wanz)

Hey, Macklemore! Can we go thrift shopping?

What, what, what, what…

I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I – I – I’m hunting, looking for a come-up
This is …... awesome

Now, walk into the club like, “What up, I got a big !”
I’m so pumped about some stuff from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe, it’s so damn frosty
That people like, “Damn! That’s a cold….....”
Rollin’ in, hella deep, headin’ to the mezzanine,
Dressed in all pink, ‘cept my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girls standin’ next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly’s sheets

But, it was ninety-nine cents! (Bag it)
Coppin’ it, washin’ it, ‘bout to go and get some compliments
Passin’ up on those moccasins someone else’s been walkin’ in
Bummy and grungy,
I am stuntin’ and flossin’ and
Savin’ my money and I’m hella happy that’s a bargain,
I’ma take your grandpa’s style, I’ma take your grandpa’s style,
No for real – ask your grandpa – can I have his hand-me-downs? (Thank you)
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie brown leather jacket that I found diggin’
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a kneeboard
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Miller
John Wayne ain’t got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like “Aw, he got the Velcros”

What you know about rockin’ a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowin’ about wearin’ a fur fox skin?
I’m digging, I’m digging, I’m searching right through that luggage
One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come-up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-up shirt
‘Cause right now I’m up in her skirt
I’m at the Goodwill, you can find me in the (Uptons)
I’m that, I’m that sucker searchin’ in that section (Uptons)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second-hand, I rock that

The built-in onesie with the socks on that
I hit the party and they stop in that
They be like, “Oh, that Gucci – that’s hella tight.”
I’m like, “Yo – that’s fifty dollars for a T-shirt.”
Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a T-shirt – that’s just some ignorant
I call that getting swindled and pimped
I call that getting tricked by a business
That shirt’s hella dough
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Trying to get girls from a brand? Then you hella won’t
Then you hella won’t

(Goodwill… poppin’ tags… yeah!)

I wear your granddad’s clothes
I look incredible
I’m in this big coat
From that thrift shop down the road

Is that your grandma’s coat? 3 months ago

as empty as a hole
go to rosie’s cafe, she’ll nourish your soul

(Chorus)
‘Cuz she’s a soul agent for the USA
she’ll be here tomorrow
after she gets through t’day
yeah…)

I know this girl who makes her dollars
one at a time
she folds them lay aways under her pantie line
she wears crushed purple velvet
she’s swimmin’ in my mind
she’s doin’ what she wants to get herself by

yeah
(Chorus) x2
yeah…

Yours is the only soul you can know
and yours is the only road you can go
the finest people that you’ll meet yeah
is just a man on the street

And there’s a fellow i know
he moves like the shifting sands
he earns his daily bread
with his own two hands
when the weight on your shoulders
is wearing you down
well he’ll do his best to bring you around

(Chorus)
‘Cuz he’s a soul agent for the USA
he’ll be here tomorrow
after he gets through t’day

he’s a soul agent for the USA
he’ll be here tomorrow

Smiling to myself today...49. Only Prettier - Miranda Lambert

:) hahaha

Well I’ve been saved by the grace of Southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
And if you wanna pick a fight
Well I’m gonna have to say goodnight
I don’t have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart

And even though I don’t belong with your high life friends
It doesn’t mean we don’t get together and try to make amends
It’s easier can’t you see
Let’s agree to just disagree
We don’t have to like each other but it’s sure fun to pretend

So let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Everybody says you’ve gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way
It’s a universal plan that’ll get you where you can in all societies

So let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Let’s shake hands and reach across those party lines
You’ve got your friends just like I’ve got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you
Only prettier

Well, I’ll keep drinkin’
And you’ll keep gettin’ skinnier
I’m just like you
Only prettier 14 months ago


Smiling to myself today...48. We Are Young lyrics (ft. Janelle Monae) , by F.U.N.

My son said, “Hey, where did you find this song, the one from the commercials?” I don’t know….I just heard it on the radio and liked it…I didn’t realize it was in a commercial till later….

We Are Young lyrics (ft. Janelle Monae)

Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friend’s are in the bathroom getting higher than the
empire state
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking about a
scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
Though holes in my apologies
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Though I know it I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find a way to solve the crime
But our friend isn’t back
So let’s raise the tab
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Come on side
I have no reason to hide
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The end is never right
Where I can
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight 14 months ago

Can you tell I have been listening to some great oldies? :)

Brown Eyed Girl

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin’ a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin’ and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow’s wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I’m all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I’m overcome thinking ‘bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da. 14 months ago

Smiling to myself today...40. "Yeah!" by Usher

I was at a friends house and this song came on Pandora. Her 14 yr old son was walking past and said, “This song always makes me smile”. I hadn’t heard it in forever and realized, yes, it makes me smile too. This is for you Loegan. =)

“Yeah!” (feat. Lil’ Jon, Ludacris)

Usher: Peace up! A Town Down!

Lil’ Jon: Yeah, (Yeah!) OK!

(Usher! Usher! Usher! Usher!)

Lil’ Jon: Lil’ Jon!

Usher:
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!

Usher
Up in the club with my homies, tryna get a lil’ V-I, but keep it down on the low key, ‘cause you know how it is.
I saw shorty she was checkin’ up on me, from the game she was spittin’ in my ear you would think that she knew me.
So we decided to chill

Conversation got heavy, she had me feelin’ like she’s ready to blow!
(Watch Out! Oh! Watch Out!)
She’s saying “Come get me! Come get me”,
So I got up and followed her to the floor, she said “Baby, let’s go”,
That’s when I told her I said

Usher:
Yeah (yeah) Shorty got down low and said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) Her and my girl used to be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!

Usher:
So she’s all up in my head now, got me thinking that it might good idea to take her with me,
‘Cause she’s ready to leave (ready to leave)
But I gotta keep it real now, ‘cause on a one to ten she’s a certified twenty, but that just ain’t me. Hey.

Because I don’t know if I take that chance just where it’s gonna lead,
But what I do know is the way she dance makes shorty alright with me.
The way she (get low!)
I’m like yeah, just work that out for me.
She asked for one more dance and I’m
Like yeah, how the hell am I supposed to leave?
And I said

Yeah (yeah) Shorty got down low and said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) Her and my girl used to be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!

Lil’ Jon: Hey, Luda!

Ludacris:
Watch out!
My outfit’s ridiculous, in the club lookin’ so conspicuous.
And Rowl! These women all on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I’m a milk the cow.
Forget about the game, I’m a spit the truth, I won’t stop till I get ‘em in they birthday suits.
So gimmie the rhythm and it’ll be off with their clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes.
I left the Jag and I took the Rolls, if they ain’t cutting then I put em on foot patrol.
How you like me now, when my pinky’s valued over three hundred thousand,
Lets drank you the one to please, Ludacris fill cups like double D’s.
Me and Usher once more and we leave ‘em dead, we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say

Yeah (yeah) Shorty got down low and said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) Her and my girl used to be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!

Ludacris:
Take that and rewind it back, Lil’ Jon got the beat to make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Usher got the voice to make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Ludacris got the flow to make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Lil’ Jon got the beat to make ya booty go (clap) 16 months ago

Smiling to myself today...37. Oh What A Night

Oh, what a night, late December back in ‘63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!
Oh what a night, You know I didn’t even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night, Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she’d be
Sweet surrender, what a night! I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder Spinning my head around and taking my body under (Oh what a night!)
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night!
Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night!
Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit Oh what a night,
Why’d it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder
Spinning my head around and taking my body under (Oh what a night!)
I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder Spinning my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night!

Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

Smiling to myself today...34. Horse to Mexico - Trini Triggs

Just feels like a floating on the river song…..relaxing…. makes me smile

Horse to Mexico
Trini Triggs

I’m tired of wakin’ up to a world full of problems
Seeing in reality you and me ain’t gonna solve ‘em
There’s a little place in Texas bout a thousand miles from no where
Baby maybe we just oughta pack up and go there

Refrain:
We can sit by the river while we heat up a tortilla watch the Rio Grande go by real slow and if we run out of tequila for
our margarita we can take our horse cross to Mexico.

Saguaro cactus
Coyotes on the hill
Smoke from the fire
Roastin’ Chili’s on the grill
Dirt floor Adobe
Indian blanket on the door
Leave the laptop and the TV
We don’t need ‘em no more

Refrain:
We can sit by the river while we heat up a tortilla watch the Rio Grande go by real slow and if we run out of tequila for
our margarita we can take our horse cross to Mexico, Mexico

Ohhh desert night is big and bright
With a million stars we’re wastin’ time

Here in the city,
We shop in malls
Eat out in restaurants
Screen all our calls
Go to work every mornin’
Behind miles and miles of cars
Just to pay off the interest
On our gold MasterCard

We can sit by the river while we heat up a tortilla watch the Rio Grande go by real slow and if we run out of tequila for
our margarita we can take our horse cross to Mexico, (Mexicooo)
We can take our horse cross to Mexico, (Mexicooo)
We can take our horse cross to Mexicoooooo 16 months ago


Smiling to myself today...33. Toes - Zac Brown Band

I love the Zac Brown Band! All of their songs are so upbeat and fun sounding….but don’t listen to the lyrics….they are kinda sad.

Why do I love upbeat song with sad lyrics????

BTW~ I had to look up to see what PBR is…. Pabst Blue Ribbon….obviously

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today

Well, the plane touched down just about three o’clock
And the city’s still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line

Concrete and cars are their own prison bars
Like this life I’m living in
But the plane brought me farther, I’m surrounded by water
And I’m not going back again

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today

Adios and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I’m leaving GA
And if it weren’t for tequila and pretty senoritas
I’d have no reason to stay

Adios and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I’m leaving GA
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play

Four days flew by like a drunk Friday night
As the summer drew to an end

They can’t believe that I just couldn’t leave
And I bid adieu to my friends

‘Cause my bartender, she’s from the islands
Her body’s been kissed by the sun
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
And I don’t know if it’s her or the rum

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today

Adios and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Yes, and all the muchachas, they call me big poppa
When I throw pesos their way

Adios and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jaeger
And I’ll grab my guitar and play

Adios and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay
The senoritas don’t care-o when there’s no dinero
Yeah, I got no money to stay

Adios and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay

I’m just gonna drive up by the lake
And put my ass in a lawn chair, toes in the clay
Not a worry in the world, a PBR on the way
Life is good today, life is good today

Smiling to myself today...31. White Trash Story - Casey Donahew Band

I saw them with my son last Friday night….gotta love good ole Texas country music…..

My best friend Junior, he lives two trailers down
His wife MaryLou she runs the Caberet in town
They’ve got two kids, and they don’t look like him
He’s a tractor tech, he’s a redneck, now he’s gettin’ drunk again

(Chorus)

I’m talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad
Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had
Now I’m empty, I’m not sad
Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

Miss Sara Ann Bakersmith, she was my girlfriend
I took her top off for the first time at the drive-in
You know those had to be the coolest things I’d seen
She was passed around like a bottle of crown, but she was always sweet to me

(Chorus)

Now Junior’s Junior’s kid, you know they call him “The Duece”
And his grandma she drinks vodka in her orange juice
She sells pot to kids, and she just got out of jail
Junior had to sell his new John-boat just to help to raise the bail.

(Chorus)

Now my name’s Carl Wayne, I’ve had two DUI’s
Three years ago they took my license I don’t drive
These boots can get me there, I live just down the street
It’s last call, it’s too far to crawl, now help me to my feet

(Chorus)

Just talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad
Talkin bout the good times 16 months ago

Smiling to myself today...30. Merry Christmas From The Family - Robert Earl Keen

Sadly…..this is my favorite Christmas song….bah hum bug

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn’t know what to think of him until he sang
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins from his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kay
Who talks all about AA
Chain smoking while the stereo plays Noel, Noel
The First Noel

Carve the Turkey
Turn the ball game on
It’s margaritas when the eggnog’s gone
Send somebody to the Quickpak Store
We need some ice and an extension chord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rites
A box of Pampers, Marlboro Lights
Halelluja everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can’t remember how I’m kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
It’s Bloody Marys
Cause We All Want One!
Send somebody to the Stop ‘N Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprites
A box of Tampons, some Salem Lights
Halelluja, everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the Family

Feliz Navidad! 16 months ago
