Thought I'd try a non-political, fun thread for a change. Dedicate a song to whomever and post the lyrics here and tell us why you chose that song for that person/group.

I dedicate this song to everyone who posts on this forum:

"It's Saturday" by King missile

I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
I want to be just like all the different people
I have no further interest in being the same,
because I have seen difference all around,
and now I know that that's what I want
I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable,
I want to be a part of the different crowd,
and assert my individuality along with the others
who are different like me
I don't want to be identical to anyone or anything
I don't even want to be identical to myself
I want to look in the mirror and wonder,
"who is that person? I've never seen that person before;
I've never seen anyone like that before."
I want to call into question the very idea that
identity can be attached
I want a floating, shifting, ever changing persona:
Invisibility and obscurity,
detachment from the ego and all of its pursuits.
Unity is useless
Comformity is competitive and divisive and leads only to
stagnation and death.
If what I'm saying doesn't make any sense,
that's because sense can not be made
It's something that must be sensed
And I, for one, am incensed by all this complacency
Why oppose war only when there's a war?
Why defend the clinics only when they're attacked?
Why are we always reactive?
Let's activate something
Let's fuck shit up
Whatever happened to revolution for the hell of it?
Whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular, just
protesting cause it's Saturday and there's nothing else to do

I'll dedicate this to myself, though i'm still on a high from Serenity, so not as applicable at the moment...


SIMPLE PLAN
Welcome To My Life


Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

This one is for our very own Malachi:

Rocky Rococo by Cap'n Jazz

Norman fell. Pick him up.
Mr. Ropers, I'm Mr. Roped.

Please don't push. I'm so scared. Everybody's so good looking in the Republic Banana. (na na na na na na na na wa pa bada badaloop ba ba ba ba wa pa bada badaloop ba ba ba)

I've been humming your jingle. I've been chanting your slogan. But I must've missed your alibi. (buy buy buy buy buy buy)

I recognize your billboard. But I must've missed your alibi. (buy buy buy buy buy buy buy sell sell buy buy buy buy buy buy wa pa bada badaloop ba ba ba ba wa pa bada badaloop ba ba ba bye bye.)

If I could do anything. If I could do anything in your world I'd be doing nothing.

:D

An Oldie But A Goodie

I know this is old, and many of you will find it cheesy, but after watching the overwhelming outpouring of charity in this country in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita, I think it's appropriate. So I dedicate this one to all the volunteers and all those who've given of themselves in this time of crisis. This is truly America at her best.

Hands Across America

Hands Across the land I love
United we fall
United we stand
Hands Across America
Mother and Father
Daughter and Son
Learn to live as one
I can not stop thinking again and again
How the heart of a stranger
Beats the same as a friend
Learn to love each other
See these people over there?
They are my brother and sister
When they laugh I laugh
When they cry I cry
When they need I'll be there by their side
We are the river of hope
That runs through the valley of fear
And there is a lady whose smile shines upon us
Saying all is welcome here.
Learn to love each other
See the man over there?
He's my brother
When he laughs I laugh
When he cries I cry
When he needs me
I'll be right there, right by his side
The kiss never felt so sincere
Full of countless dreams
This earth, it never smelt so sweet
Cradles a song in its great heartbeat
Learn to love each other
See the man over there?
Hes my brother
When he laughs I laugh
When he cries I cry
When he needs me
I'll be right there by his side

Dedicated to myself, as I need to chill out a little... :mad:

Zion by Aswad

How many times I've heard you say
You want to see Zion
How many times I've heard you say
I and I belong
In this road we trodding,
Winding and turning
As we bend a new corner,
In this bright, bright morning time
The sun has fallen from the sky
Clouds and rain now filling the sky
Your will is strong,
Fret not humble lion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion
Waste not so that you may never say
Oh how I wish I had
The bread I once threw away
Make haste now in this time
While the sun is still shining
And then one bright morning
You'll up and fly away
How many times I've heard you say
You want to see Zion
How many times I've heard you say
I and I belong

In this road we trotting,
Winding and turning
As we bend a new corner,
In this bright, bright morning time
The sun has fallen from the sky
Clouds and rain now filling the sky
Your will is strong,
Fret not humble lion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion

In the road we trotting,
Winding and turning
As we bend a new corner,
In this bright, bright morning time
The sun has fallen from the sky
Clouds and rain now in the sky
Your will is strong,
Fret not humble lion

You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion
You soon see Mount Zion

There's this song by Edguy...
10-04-2005 09:48
... it's called "But here I am"

Now, Either they play the hell out of a chord, or there are two versions.

The internet insists that there are no lyrics to this song; that it is an instrumental.

But dangit. I know what I'm hearing.

So whatever those lyrics are...

:dedicates to self:

::Edit:: Finally!

From: someone

Always listen to what they tell - Dreamer
Crazy habits are a work of hell - Dreamer
Dressed in black and ordinary suits - Dreamer
All my life I have paid my dues - Goodbye

But here I am
To go my way
But here I am
I am sick of being here to pay

Never try to understand - Dreamer
What I do and what I can - Dreamer
Making love in the middle of a street - Dramer
Let them talk about how we treat ourselves - That's right

But here I am
To go my way
But here I am
I am sick of being here to stay

My dinner's on fire while she watches tv
And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me
She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that i can
She's got time for the dog and none for her man
And i'm no dope, but i can't cope
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope

You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, i don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And i can't cope -- piss up a rope

Uh, you can piss up a rope and feel the pissy dribble
You can piss up a rope and watch me giggle
For the last 6 months i been packin' your bag
You can wash my balls with a warm, wet rag
Till my balls feel smooth and soft like silk
I'm sick of your mouth and your 2 percent milk
And i'm no dope, but i've lost all hope
So hit the fuckin' road and piss up a rope

You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, i don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And i can't cope -- piss up a rope

And for my non-SL friend...
10-04-2005 09:58
Please pardon this as being a song from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical...
Taken in context it's alright for the venue, but for these purposes, lets think of this soley as metaphore. And only I, naturally, have any Idea what this is talking about, metaphoricly, of course.

From: someone

I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day
Or maybe melt away
I guess its all the same

So I will walk through the fire
'Cos where else can I turn?
And I will walk through the fire
And let it..

The torch i bear is scorching me
Buffy's laughin' I've no doubt
I hope she fries--
I'm free if that bitch dies--
(I better help her out.)

'cuz she is drawn to the fire
some people/she will never learn
and she will walk through the fire
and let it...

Will this do a thing to change her
Am i leaving Dawn in danger
Is my slayer to far gone to care
What if Buffy can't defeat it

Beady-eyes is right we're needed...
Or we could just sit around and glare.

We'll see it through it what we're always here to do
So we will walk through the fire...

So one by one they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
(What can't we face)
But why I froze...not one among them knows
And never can be told.

She came from the grave much graver
First he'll kill her then I'll save her
Everything is turning out so dark
(Going through the motions)
No, I'll save her then I'll kill her
I think this line's mostly filler
What its gonna take to strike the spark.
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
and we are
Caught in the fire
The point of no return
So we will walk through the fire and let it
Burn
let it Burn
let it Burn...Showtime!


Followup

From: someone

Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here

The battle's done,
And we kinda won...

So we sound our victory cheer.
Where do we go from here?

Why is the path unclear,
When we know home is near?

Understand we'll go hand in hand,
But we'll walk alone in fear. (Tell me)
Tell me where do we go from here.

When does the end appear,
(Bugger this.)
When do the trumpets cheer?

The curtain's close, on a kiss God knows,
We can tell the end is near...

[[Hey.

You should go back inside
Finish the group song,
Get your kumbayaya's out.

But I don't want to.

The day you sus out what you do want,
There'll probably be a parade.
76 bloody trombones.

Spike.

Look, you don't have to say anything.]]

I touch the fire and it freezes me. (I died)

I look into it and its black. (So many years ago)

This isn't real, but I just wanna feel. (But you can make me feel)

Where do we go from here?

For Siggy, Taco and pandastrong *muah*

"Now, let's you just drop them pants."
"...Drop?"
"Just take 'em right off."
"Come on, squeal! Squeal! EEEEEEEE!"

Minds are empty, heads are hollow.
You might find out the truth is hard to swallow.
There's a place down there, where heads are square.
Laws are tough, and you are bare.
There is a law and there is a lawman.
Who is the right, and who is the wrong man.

It doesn't take much to kill that guy.
Don't get in my face and ask me why...
Texas is the place.
HANG 'EM HIGH!!!!

Beers, steers, and queers.

Texas is full of women and willing,
Eyes too close, ...
Who are these people, raised in bars,
..., sex on farms.
Texas hoedown, this is the lowdown,
You're full of shit, destined to go down.

Let's go down, herd 'em up.
If you agree, then let's word 'em up.
And if you don't...
THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Beers, steers, and queers.

"Now, let's you just drop them pants."

I've spent my life, go kicking shit,
Not gonna give up, ain't about to quit.
Life is a bucket of ...,
Gettin' rough, feeding stock.
Get in my way,
I'LL KNOCK YOU OFF.

Beers, steers, and queers.

I'm a crazy mother in a drunken state,
A redneck asswipe who thinks he's great,
So full of shit, diarrhea for fingers,
Everywhere I go, personality lingers.
Say you don't like...
I don't give a damn, so fuck your respect.
If you're looking for a reason, don't go any farther,
'Cuz I'll give it to you baby, like to your grandmother.
Take what you get if it does the job,
Texas has religion...
REVOLTING COCKS ARE GOD!!!

"What did they call it?"
"The Revolting Cocks."

Beers, steers, and queers.

"This is our house, and our house music. I am the creator

I dedicate this song to me. I love me. And I still love Chris Cornell, haterz.

Actually, it fits in nicely with my blog post.

From: Soundgarden, and not that "superunknown" shit either



Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook


Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me


Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took


Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what is in it for me

GodSmack- I fucking hate you, i would like to personally dedicate this song to anshe chung.

For everything you do
I’d like to swallow you
And everyday I’m gonna blame you
Even if you justify
Every fucking bullshit lie
It only makes me want to break you
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It’s broken now
Don’t ever look my way
Don’t even think I’m playin’
‘Cause I fucking hate you
You’re such a liar
And I love to HANG you
You’re all BUT SATAN to me
When you repeatedly
Take advantage of me
The only thought I get of you sickens me
Everybody knows your fake
You’re everything I fucking hate
And I’m everything that you could never be
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It’s broken now
Don’t ever look my way
Don’t even think I’m playin’
‘Cause I fucking hate you
You’re such a liar
And I love to hang you
You’re all but satan to me
I fucking you hate you
You’re such a liar
And I love to hate you
You’re all the same to me
(Fuck you)
(Fuck you)
(Fuck you)
You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It’s broken now
Don’t ever look my way
Don’t even think I’m playin’
‘Cause I fucking hate you
You’re such a liar
And I love to hang you
You’re all but satan to me
And I fucking hate you
You’re such a liar
And I love to hate you
You’re all the same to me
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you (fuck you)

I would also like to dedicate this next one personally to anshe chung. Tupac- you wonder why they call you a bitch

You wonda why they call U bitch
You wonda why they call U bitch.
You wonda why they call U bitch
You wonda why they call U bitch.
You wonda why they call U bitch
You wonda why they call U bitch.

[Verse One: 2Pac]

Look here Miss Thang
hate to salt your game
but yous a money hungry woman
and you need to change.

In tha locker room
all the homies do is laugh.
High five's cuz anotha nigga
played your ass.

It was said you were sleeezy
even easy
sleepin around for what
you need

See it's your thang
and you can shake it how you wanna.
Give it up free
or make your money on the corner.

But don't be bad and play the game
get mad and change.
Then you wonda why these muthafuckas
call you names.

Still lookin' for a way out
and that's OK
I can see you wanna stray
there's a way out.

Keep your mind on your money,
enroll in school.
And as the years pass by
you can show them fools.

But you ain't tryin' to hear me
cuz your stuck,
you're headin' for the bathroom
'bout to get tossed up.

Still lookin' for a rich man
you dug a ditch,
got your legs up
tryin' to get rich.

I love you like a sista
but you need to switch
and that's why they called
U bitch, I betcha.

[Chorus]

[Verse Two: 2Pac]

You leave your kids with your mama
cuz your headin' for the club
in a skin tight miniskirt
lookin' for some love.

Got them legs wide open
while you're sittin' at the bar
Talkin' to some nigga
'bout his car.

I guess he said he
had a Lexxxus, what's next?
You headin' to his car for some sex

I pass by
can't hold back tears inside
cuz, lord knows
for years I tried.

And all the other people
on my block hate your guts
Then you wonda why they stare
and call you slut.

It's like your mind don't understand
you don't have to kill your
dreams ploten'
schemes on a man

Keep your head up, legs closed, eyes open
either a nigga wear a rubber or he die smokin'
I'm hearin' rumors so you need to switch
and niggas wouldn't call you bitch, I betcha.

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: 2Pac]

I guess times gettin' hard
even harder for you
cuz, hey now, got a baby
on the way now

More money from the county
and thanks to the welfare
you're about to
get your hair done.

Got a dinner date
can't be late
trick or treat, sweet thang
got anotha trick to meet.

The way he did it
it was smooth
plottin' while he gamin' you
So baby, peep tha rules.

I shoulda seen it in the first case
the worst case
I shoulda never called you back
in the first place.

I remember back in high school
baby you was fast
straight sex
and barely move your ass.

But now things change
cuz you don't look the same
let the ghetto get the best of you
baby, that's a shame

Caught HIV and now you 'bout to be deceased
and finally be in peace.

So where your niggas at now
cuz everybody left
they stepped
and left you on your own

See I loved you like a sista
but you died to quick
And that's why we called U bitch, I betcha.

[Chorus]

[Outro: 2Pac]

Dear Ms. Deloris Tucker
keep stressen me
fuckin' with a muthafucken mind
I figured you wanted to know
you know
why we call them hos bitches
and maybe this might help you understand
it ain't personal
strictly business baby
strictly business

So If you wonder why we call U bitch
You wonder why we call U bitch
If you wonder why we call U bitch
You wonder why we call U bitch

Why is your forum icon a picture of such a determinedly nice guy when you are so clearly full of hate? :)

Edit: Sorry, this is quite a hateful thing to say in itself isn't it? Apologies.

I'd like to dedicate this to everyone who doesn't otherwise get a song dedicated to them.


Mr. Horrible
Mr. Horrible
Telephone call for Mr. Horrible
But before he can talk to the ugliness men
There's some horrible business left
For him to attend to
Something unpleasant has spilled on his brain
As he sponges it off they say

"Is this Horrible?
Is this Horrible?
It's the ugliness men, Mr. Horrible
We're just trying to bug you
We thought that our dreadfulness
Might be a thing to annoy you with"

But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"

"Would you mind if we balance this glass of milk
Where your visiting friend accidentally was killed?
Would it be okay with you if we wrote a reminder
Of things we'll forget to do today otherwise,
Using a green magic marker, if it's alright
On the back of your head?"

Mr. Horrible
Mr. Horrible
We're not done with you yet Mr. Horrible
You have to try on these pants so the Ugliness Men
Can decide if they're just as embarrassing as we think
We have to be sure about this

But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"

Someone keeps moving my chair

Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
