Norman Greenbaum must be a Jew with that name. His song seems otherwise.
I like that song.
Me 2.
Heās from Massachusetts.
I read this-
Norman Greenbaum was kind enough to tell us about this song. He set out to write a religious rock song, and he is Jewish. Instead of using a Jewish word for God, he used āJesusā because he thought it would be more marketable.
Smart move. Lots Christmas songs written by Jews, too.
The most beautiful girl in the room
Yeah
Looking 'round the room
I can tell that you
Are the most beautiful girl in the room
(In the whole wide room)
And when youāre on the street
Depending on the street
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Good looking girls on the street, yeah
Depending on the street, ooh
And when I saw you at my mateās place
I thought, āWhat is she doing
At my mateās place?ā
How did Dave get a hottie like that to a party like this?
Good one Dave
(Youāre a legend Dave)
I ask Dave if heās gonna make a move on you
Heās not sure
I said āDave do you mind if I do?ā
He says he doesnāt mind
But I can tell he kinda minds
But Iām gonna do it anyway
I see you standing all alone by the stereo
I dim the lights down to very low here we go
Youāre so beautiful (beautiful)
You could be a waitress
Youāre so beautiful (beautiful)
You could be an air hostess in the 60s
Youāre so beautiful
Well, you could be a part time model
And then I seal the deal
I do my moves
I do my dance moves
(Both of my dance moves)
Itās twelve-oh-two
Just me and you
And seven other dudes
Around you on the dance-floor
I draw you near
Letās get out of here
Letās get in a cab
Iāll buy you a kebab
Now I canāt believe
That Iām sharing a kebab with the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
With a kebab, ooh
Why donāt we leave?
Letās go to my house and we can feel each other up on the couch
Oh no, I donāt mind taking it slow, no
Because youāre so beautiful
Like a, tree
Or a high class prostitute
Youāre so beautiful
You could be a part time model
But youād probably still have to keep your normal job
A part time model
Spending part of your time modelling
And part of your time next to me
And the rest of your time doing your normal job, ooh
My place is usually tidier than this
Willie Nelson was at Winstar last night. My guests told me he is losing his voice but the show was really good.
Tom Waits turned 70 today.
I read somewhere that you were ill, Dan. I hope I donāt catch what you have because Iām leaving tomorrow.
Me 2. You wont be able to fly if you are. Although I am MUCH better today. Will be all better tomorrow minus weakness.
Stomach bugs are one of those things you can pass on after you are symptom free.
My work doesnāt let you come to work if you are symptom free from a stomach virus for less than 24 hours. Although if you are 2 minutes late because of 2 feet of snow, that is a problem. Not me though. Iām never late.
He doesnāt look a day over 80.
Haha. Very true.
Tried to post another song but your website wouldnāt let me. It said post is too similar to the last one. WTF! WTF! WTF!
When I came back from Luang Prabang
I didnāt have a thing where my balls used to hang
But I had a wooden medal and a fine harangue
Now Iām a fucking hero
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
Mour your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero follow me
And the boys back home all envy me
I fought for Christian democracy
With nothing but air where my balls used to be
Now Iām a fucking hero
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero follow me
One and twenty cannons thunder
Into the mighty wild blue yonder
For a patriotic ball-less wonder
Now Iām a fucking hero
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
Mour your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
In Lunag Prabang there is a spot
Where the corpses of your brothers rot
And every corpse is a patriot
Every corpse is a hero
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
Mourn your dead land of the free
If you wanna be a hero, follow me
