The Madonna song that samples this (“What It Feels Like For A Girl”) is one of my favorites by her.

Various lyrics address the fact that some men find no intrinsic value in large buttocks and consequently express disinterest. Mix-a-Lot makes clear that he would eagerly strike up relations with any woman overlooked or discarded by such men. The remainder of the narrative is fleshed out with the author’s various attempts to entice women into enjoying a ride in his luxury automobile. [3]

shame this one doesn’t have a contributor associated with it - unlike regulators

Kvelertak LP arrived today (albeit a bit damaged).  As promised, no lyrics, even in Norwegian.  But there are synopses, in English, and they’re hilarious.

Alkaline Trio - Maybe I’ll Catch Fire

This house is full of ears, but I can’t talk to anyone
They’ve heard this one a thousand times
Most exciting thing I do
Hand halfway out a third floor window
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down
And maybe I’ll catch fire
Something warm to hold me
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil shit’s not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice 

This house is full of eyes, but I can’t look at anyone
They’ve seen this face a thousand times
The most relaxing thing I do
Hang halfway out a third floor window
And look at rocks, if I fall out
Well maybe I’ll fall hard
Something tough to break me
Something sharp to rip into my insides
And bleed out all that pain
Sorry I don’t even know your name
I guess for me it’s easy this way

Maybe I’ll catch fire
Something warm to hold me
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil shit’s not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice 

from shit for brains

This man is awesome.  Also, I want to do this karaoke.

Also, I’d love to link to/reblog the person who originally put this on my dash, but since tumblr’s search is approximately 3,729 hours behind real time, I can’t find that post.

The Riot Before - 5 To 9 (from Fists Buried In Pockets)

The Riot Before - 5 to 9

WTF are these rhymes I don’t even…?!?!  

Tired muscles, tired eyes
Can’t sleep through this Oaxacan night
He’s kept away from dreaming, haunted by thoughts of failing
The family whom he shares a bed
A tiny room even less bread
He cries out to himself silently

I am not a man
I can’t feed my children
This is no life for them

So he’s out of bed with the sunrise
He kisses his wife and kids goodbye
Then heads north to the border
To work, become a provider
But gathered at the country line
Are protesters all holding signs
He can’t read but translates perfectly

I am not a man
I’m just a Mexican
Illegal immigrant

The politicians the pundits the public debate
But one question’s lost in policy
“Is a man not a man if he’s born outside a boundary?”
Stumbling through the desert alone and afraid
He almost dies from the heat
But he thinks of his family and that keeps him going
He won’t stop for death least the laws of a country
Arrested is no threat when you’re already living unfree

So he works the fields from 5 to 9
Plus any job that he can find
Saves up all his money, sends it to his family
Before he falls asleep at night
A thousand miles from his life
He assuredly repeats

I am a human
A father a husband
A global citizen

Not a debatable statistic
I’m not your problem economic
I’m not a threat to patriotic
That’s idiotic
I am a…

dudes are playing Austin later this month, should be a blast.  Apparently Magoo told them they owe me a beer for consulting on their wordpress migration.  I think I’ll be buying the beer, though - my consulting was definitely on the order of “nope, that won’t work, yer screwed”
