Happy love-song lyrics, courtesy of the Dead Milkmen: Punk Rock Girl!
---
One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead,
I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead,

Punk rock girl, Please look at me!
Punk rock girl, What do you see?
Let's travel round the world
Just you and me,
Punk rock girl.

I tapped her on the shoulder and said "Do you have a bell?"
She looked at me and smiled and said she did not know.

Punk rock girl, Give me a chance!
Punk rock girl, Let's go slam dance!
We'll dress like Minnie Pearl,
Just you and me,
Punk rock girl.

We went to the Philly Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "Well no, we only have it iced."
So we jumped up on the table and shouted "Anarchy!"
And someone played a Beach Boys song on the jukebox
It it was 'California Dreamin'
So we started screamin
"On such a winter's day!"

She took me to her parents for a Sunday meal,
Her father took one look at me and he began to squeal.

Punk rock girl, It makes no sense!
Punk rock girl, Your dad is vice president!
Just like the Duke of Earl,
Yeah you're for me,
Punk rock girl.

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said "He don't work here."
We said "If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin!"

We got into her car away we started rollin',
I said "How much you pay for this?"
Said "Nothin man, it's stolen!"

Punk rock girl, You look so wild!
Punk rock girl, Let's have a child!
We'll name her Minnie Pearl!
Just you and me,
Eat fudge banana swirl!
Just you and me,
We'll travel round the world!
Just you... and... me...
Punk rock girl!!!

Ohhh ohohh

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl

My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

"Bitchin' Camaro" is still their best, though.

Bitchin' Camaro, bitchin' Camaro!
Hey, man, where ya headed?
Bitchin Camaro, bitchin' Camaro!
I DON'T WANT UNLEADED!

Doesn't putting Dead Milkmen and Billy Joel lyrics in the same thread create a space-time discontinuity that could endanger the entire human race?

There's a significant era/obscurity-disparity between Elethi and myself, and while he's made valiant efforts in the past to appreciate the music of Times Which Came Before, I think the lad just kinda had a little reflexive reaction to the title "Something Something Girl" and wanted to toss in his own offering. I'll be the first to confess that I am a Billy Joel enthusiast as well! I grew famous among my compatriots at parties in college for my ability to actually play a sing-alongable bit of 'Piano Man' in college while inebriated... drunks love a musician.

*listens to Camper Van Beethoven's "Take The Skinheads Bowling"*

Alas, I failed to look at the deeper impacts of it. I was just sort of continuing on the Girl motief.

Also, I doubt the lyrics are different, but I was listening to the Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies version of Uptown Girl.

I like some of the music you guys listen too. I guess, its sort of a window to the past, if you will. I've enjoyed the stuff Josef's recommended in the past, so I think I'll go get that Dead Milkmen song.

You'd enjoy "Bitchin' Camaro," too.

Are you trying to say we're old? I don't think I've ever been called a window to the past, before!

Now, where's my walker?

There's this girl that's been on my mind
All the time, Sussudio oh oh
Now she don't even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
Sussudio oh oh

Oh if she called me I'd be there
I'd come running anywhere
She's all I need, all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio, just say the word
Oh Sussudio

Now I know that I'm too young
My love has just begun
Sussudio oh oh
Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
I'll show her anytime
Sussudio oh oh

Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now
I've got to get closer but I don't know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio just say the word
Oh Sussudio, oh

Ah, she's all I need all of my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I'll say the word
Sussudio oh oh oh
Just say the word

Meh.

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting, smoking, feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'til morning comes
Watch the sunrise
To fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'til we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop, I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady I will treat you sweetly
Adore you
I mean
You crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know
How I love you
Come on
Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain
we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
Lady
So much you have given love
That I would give you back
Again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please
Let me always

Well, I'm loath the suggest it, but you might search the nethers of the internet on a file-swapping service for the MP3s.

That's true. Friggin' spyware.

I, however, long ago realized that just about EVERY shareware program you ever get has spyware in it. If you have a personal firewall, you really notice it when you crank up the security settings on it.

So I say "Meh!" and let the companies watch me. I can always turn the machine off.
