The Heckler - by Primus

[Verse 1]
Through the door, it slithers in, accompanied by its peers
Always groveling for attention while no one ever hears
In its mind, it's full of wit and quite the social king
Plants itself among the rest to give the deadly sting

[Chorus]
It's just a matter of opinion
It's just a matter of opinion
It's just a matter of opinion

[Verse 2]
Further now there's a man of taste, of talent and precision
To work and strive at his art form has been his life's decision
The stage is set, the perfect show is put before the mass
Only to be ridiculed by some slimy, pompous-

[Chorus]
It's just a matter of opinion
It's just a matter of opinion
Yeah!

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
It's just a matter of opinion

Pudding Time

[Verse 1]
You can have a lollipop, a candy bar, a jelly bean
I'll buy you a rainbow to hang above your door

[Chorus]
It's pudding time
It's pudding time
It's pudding time

[Verse 2]
Laughter is a sweet
You can't put a price on
When laughter's all gone
Daddy won't buy you more

[Chorus]
It's pudding time
It's pudding time children

[Bridge]
Money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money to buy you things
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

[Verse 3]
San Francisco Bay
The striped bass are dying
But you're gonna get that brand new bike
Oh joy

[Chorus]
It's pudding time
It's pudding time children

[Outro]
Pudding time children, pudding time children
Pudding time children, pudding time children
Pudding time children, pudding time children
Pudding time children

Narayan - The Prodigy

[Verse 1]
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you're breaking free and the morning's come
If you would know your time has come
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you're feeling firm, then I'll travel on
If you feel it burn, your time has come

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it!

[Chorus]
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow

[Verse 2]
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you're breaking free and the morning's come
If you would know your time has come
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
And you feel it burn, don't try to run
And you feel it burn, your time has come

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it!

[Chorus]
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow

[Bridge]
Om Namo Narayana
Om Namo Narayana

Om Namo Narayana

Om Namo Narayana (And I feel it!)
Om Namo Narayana (And I feel it!)
Om Namo Narayana (And I feel it!)
Om Namo Narayana (You feel another energy!)
Om Namo Narayana

[Chorus]
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow

The #EarWorm is taking me back to the mid-1990s to my Drum & Bass days. This is my favorite D&B song of all time. Blast it for best effect.

The #EarWorm has been running this through my head since I watched #DancingQueens yesterday.

I was talking with my eldest about one of his friends, and I misheard his name as Dave. Then the #EarWorm struck and this is stuck in my head, even after showing it to my kid to try to exorcise it.

To roll with rollerina is never quite as it seems

You only wanna be in a garage band
You know you wanna give the gong a bang
But nothing ever works out as you planned
You only ever seem to can the canned

Today's #EarWorm brought to you by #Primus

Too Many Puppies

[Verse 1]
Too many puppies are being shot in the dark
Too many puppies are trained not to bark
At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we may maintain our oil fields

[Chorus]
Too many puppies
Too many puppies

[Verse 2]
Too many puppies are taught to heel
Too many puppies are trained to kill
On the command of men wearing money belts that buy mistresses sleek animal pelts

[Chorus]
Too many puppies
Too many puppies
Too many pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-puppies
Too many puppies

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
(Peanut sat on a railroad track)
(His heart was all a flutter)
(Along came the train)
(Toot, toot, peanut butter)

[Verse 3]
Too many puppies with guns in their hands
Too many puppies in foreign lands
Are dressed up sharp in suits of green and placed upon the war machine
Too many puppies are just like me
Too many puppies are afraid to see
The visions of the past brought to life again
Too many puppies, too many dead men

[Outro]
(El Sobrante number one)

I got into Arabic rap during Occupy and gave myself an #EarWorm revisiting Omar Offendum while taking a shower last night. The whole album this is from, SyrianamericanA, is just fantastic.

#Music #RadioRue #OmarOffendum

Destiny - Omar Offendum

Chorus:
You are my ...
(Destiny)
Its hard livin in the West - when I know the East got the best of me ...
(Destiny)
Could be lookin in my eyes - but you'll never really see the rest of me ...
(Destiny)
Can you hear me "maseeri" (my destiny)? ... bi-lingual's what im blessed to be ...
(Destiny)
7amamet Salameh - ifta7ee ajni7atikee oo 6eeree
(dove of Peace - spread your wings & fly)

Verse 1:
وين الوعي - وين؟
امشوا معي هين
وادي بين الجبلين
عين حب للطرفين
أمهاتنا حبت ذاتنا
بس مو عاجبهن مسباتنا
هذا الحكي بين اخواتنا
زين العرب والأمريكان
وألله يرحم كل أمواتنا
أغاني
'مثل 'المهاتمة
إذا قلنا: العين بالعين
ما صفى عندنا عيون بالشام
بلاد الشام
من فلسطين إلى جبال لبنان
قبل ما اخترعوا الحدود
من الإسكندرون إلى كردستان
فهمان؟
جنجس خان ما خان قد ما خانونا أولاد العم
بس دمنا دمهم .
بني أدم - بنو ذنمبهم
على أكتافنا - شلنا همهم
ليه؟
الله بيعلم .
بس ليك هذا الفتيش والبسكليت
احسنلك من ١٠٠٬٠٠٠٬٠٠٠ مسدس
تعرف ليه؟
لأن مو عاجبهم بسمتك
بس إبتسم برسمتك
شابٌ عربيٌ ومثقف
أعطيهم ختمتك
وإذا لسة مو راضين
(ذكرهم بكلام ' إيليية (أبي ماضي
' نسي الطين ساعةً أنه طين '
وهذه هي .
القضاء والقدر يا حبيبي
(English translation)
Consciousness? What consciousness - where is it?
Take a walk with me
Here - in this valley between two "mountains"
Where the source of love for both "sides" can be found
Our mothers like us - but dont like our foul language
So lets keep this between the siblings
The best of Arabs & Americans
And may God have mercy on all our dead
Songs i sing like the Mahatma ("aghani-d" means these songs ... which sounds like Ghandi & in turn relates to the next quote)
If we say 'an eye for an eye'
There won't be any eyes left in Sham
Bilad al-Sham (i.e. greater syria ... since "Sham" refers to Damascus ... but "bilad al-sham" means Greater Syria ... the distinction is made for the sake of unity across borders)
From Palestine to the mountains of Lebanon
Before they made up these borders
From Iskandaroon to Kurdistan - understand?
Genghis Khan never deceived us quite like our "paternal cousins" (Khan also means deceive in arabic)
But our blood is their blood
Children of Adam
Who built their sins
Upon our shoulders
We carried their burden
Why?
God knows
But listen, this little firecracker & bicycle are better for you than 100 million guns - wanna know why?
Because they dont like seeing you smile
But smile you will - in your human being
A young cultured/educated Arab male - give them your stamp of approval
And if they still dont accept you then remind them of the words of Elliye (Elliye Abi-Madhee is a famous Lebanese poet who wrote a poem that started with the following words)
"How soon a piece of dirt can forget that that is all he/she really is ... just dirt" (i.e. we are all from this earth & will come back to it ... so there is no logic in viewing yourself as better than someone else)
And that my friend is ...
Our Destiny

Chorus:
You are my ...
(Destiny)
Its hard livin in the West - when I know the East got the best of me ...
(Destiny)
Could be lookin in my eyes - but you'll never really see the rest of me ...
(Destiny)
Can you hear me "maseeri" (my destiny)? ... bi-lingual's what im blessed to be ...
(Destiny)
7amamet Salameh - ifta7ee ajni7atikee oo 6eeree
(dove of Peace - spread your wings & fly)

Verse 2:
I write right to left ...
You write left to right ...
Metaphor of a foreigner's plight...
Dressed to type...
Stereo & a mic...
Scenario of a fight...
The burial of a white...
Imperial at his height's...
A Turkish Rapper's Delight
Semetic etiquette might
Just have you rollin your "R's"
Poetic & light
And grab a hold of your sorrows
To relieve your tomorrows
Make it easier to borrow
The aesthetics you bite
Like all the Arabic loanwords
From Spaniards & Morros
The Karma of Inquisition
Visions of horror
So who's the Explorer?
Really was it Columbus?
Muhammad al-Idrisi or Alfaragnus
Throw a Hobson Jobson
While you figure it out
Im gonna start with a cipher
Thats a "siffir" (zero) - no doubt
See you might not have learned to live with me
But sure as hell can't without
Chorus:
You are my ...
(Destiny)
Its hard livin in the West - when I know the East got the best of me ...
(Destiny)
Could be lookin in my eyes - but you'll never really see the rest of me ...
(Destiny)
Can you hear me "maseeri" (my destiny)? ... bi-lingual's what im blessed to be ...
(Destiny)
7amamet Salameh - ifta7ee ajni7atikee oo 6eeree
(dove of Peace - spread your wings & fly)

Verse 3:
See 3arab shootin at each other
From iraq to falasteen
Syria to libnan...algeria to sudan
Pedagogy of the oppressed, tricklin' down...
Conquerin' through divisions
& sadly this isn't the first time...
One land - one love - one chance - one blood
No fuss, no fight...yeah right young blood
AK's cheaper than a book
Crooked leaders in a hook
Gettin' fished out
Missles gettin' dished out...
Bitched out by the West
Press get a big shout
From the people gettin' rich out of this (bout)...
Now what's this really all about...
Land - money - or power?
It was the colonizer's fault
But now it's really just ours...
Leavin' a sour tase in our mouths...
Like generational slave names
Whenever speakin out
Out-spoken leaders gettin taken out
Quicker than belligerent drunks in a bar...
We a far cry from livin' as one...
