Houses of the holy
Was an album by Led Zeppelin
I bought it on eight track
Not on cd
Fades out in the middle
The way an eight track’s s’posed to
The way an eight track’s s’posed to

I got the number thirteen
Tattooed on my bicep
The thirteenth letter of the alphabet
Is the letter m
Stands for marijuana
The way that it oughta
The way a letter oughta

The electric kool-aid acid test
Was a novel by Tom Wolfe
It’s about taking lsd
And driving ’cross the country
Drivin’ in a school bus
A school bus on lsd
The way an education oughta be

I wanna drive a school bus
Over to the brady’s
And pick up alice
And then we’ll bake some brownies
And then I’ll grab marcia
And play with her ouija board
And talk to mr. brady

Houses of the holy
Was a really bitchin’ album
Bonzo kicks ass on it
And then he chokes on his vomit
The way a rock star’s s’posed to die
The way a rock star’s s’posed to die
The way a rock star’s s’posed to die

I wanna die wasted
In a room with Eddie Vedder
We could both die together
But he’ll go first
Yeah Eddie’ll go first
’cause he’s more famous
More famous than the rugburns

When you buy our coffins
Put eight tracks in ’em
Playin’ houses of the holy
’cause it’s a really bitchin’ album
Remember when I told you
Remember how it fades out
Remember when I told you

REM - Lightnin' Hopkins

Ben Lee- Catch my disease

My head is a box full of nothing
and that's the way I like it
My garden's a secret compartment
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
Your body's a dream that turns violent
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
The winter is long in the city
and that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your heart
Catch my disease

I was backstage in Pomona
and that's the way I like it
She drank beer with coca-cola
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me about the winds from Santa Anna
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me she loved me like fireworks
and that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your eyes
Catch my disease

So please (PLEASE!)
baby please
Come on
Catch my disease
Catch it

Na na na na na na na na na

They play Good Charlotte on the radio
and that's the way I like it
They play Sleepy Jackson on the radio
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
I hear Beyonce on the radio
and that's the way I like it
cos that's the way I like it
and they play me on the radio (whoo!)
and that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your heart
and catch my disease
So please
baby please
Come on
Catch my disease
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana
(catch my disease)

Brakes - Heard About Your Band

quote:

I heard about your band
I couldn't help it you were screaming in my ear
Coked up arsehole
Waiting for Liars
You shared a cab with Karen O
Oh oh, Oh oh oh
You're talking hyper bollocks
You're talking saleries
Oh yeh, you work in insurance?
30k? OTE
You met Electrelane
AA? AAA
You know the girl from Sleater-Kinney
You said you couldn't understand
Why it was that she continued to play
When she was only earning 10 Grand PA
You know a lot of people in the industry
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
I heard about your band
WHATEVER DUDE!

Loudon Wainwright III - I wish i was a lesbian

Gaat niet echt over K.D. Lang maar ze wordt er wel in genoemd:

I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo!
I wish I were a lesbian and not a hetero!

I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight.
I'd sleep with women only. Man, it would be great.
I'd throw away my diaphragm, I wouldn't want to mate.
I wish I was a lesbian, and that I wasn't straight!

I wish I were a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke.
I'd sleep with k.d. lang. Mel Gibson, take a hike!
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike.
I wish I was a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke!

I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung.
It shouldn't really matter how somebody is hung.
Other things are more important- like how you use your tongue!
I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung!

I DARE Casey Kasem to play this!

I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo
(I hate that machis'mo!)
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero

Ik wilde Ben Folds met Late suggeren, maar die was al geweest, zie ik .

I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group KISS
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
In the garage

Gruppo Sportivo - I Said No

quote:

She asked me: do you like jazz? and I said no
No jazz, big band or dixieland,
can beat the king of rock ‘n’ roll
I told her all about Elvis
she begged me to go on

I thought my hair was okay
but something else went wrong
My voice was going
when I tried to sing a catchy Elvis-song
She said: hey isn’t that Jersey, Jack Jersey?
and put his record on

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong

She said: gee, I’m sorry, would you please go on
I decided to rock her socks off, with a Jerry Lee Lewis song
She said: hey, isn’t that Ernie, Long Tall Ernie?
And put his record on

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong

I said no, don’t put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong

Elkie Brooks - Pearl's a Singer

quote:

Pearl's a singer, she stands up,
When she plays the piano in the night club
Pearl's a singer, she sings songs
For the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks,
Singing songs and telling jokes
In the nightclub

Pearl's a singer, and they say,
That she once was a winner in a contest
Pearl's a singer, and they say,
That she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so,
On the local radio
It never made it

She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at that beer-stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
All those dreams that never came true

Pearl's a singer, she stands up,
When she plays the piano in the night club
Pearl's a singer, she sings songs
For the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks,
Singing songs and telling jokes
In the nightclub

Pearl's a singer, she stands up
When she plays the piano in the night club
Pearl's a singer, she sings songs
For the lost and the lonely
Her job's entertaining folks
Singing songs, telling jokes
In the nightclub

Het refrein van "It's my life" van Bon Jovi heeft een verwijzing naar Frank Sinatra:

quote:

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

Het grappige is dat Paul Anka dit liedje later in een bigband-uitvoering gecovered heeft, met dezelfde tekst. Paul Anka is degene die "My way" voor Frank Sinatra geschreven heeft.

Dat laatste klopt niet. Het is van oorsprong een Frans nummer van Claude François, 'Comme D'Habitude'. Paul Anka vertaalde het alleen naar het Engels, voor zichzelf bovendien. Sinatra coverde Anka's versie.

Pearl was idd de bijnaam van JJ, maar als je de tekst leest kan dat toch niet op haar slaan. JJ zong niet in een nachtclub en droomde echt niet dat ze Betty Grable was. Grappen vertellen kon ze overigens wel als de beste: zie daarvoor de film 'Festival Express' (sowieso een aanrader).
