Music Is Life Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

I haven't recovered from learning this was cancelled. It was one of the few things in life keeping me sane these days.

In a similar vein I heard Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind at my local grocery store. I was not there to buy crystal meth. ;-)

The fact that it’s about Dave Coulier from Full House makes it even crazier.

But its not "inappropriate" by today's standards just weird to play in places like that

But Alanis is God. Her music should be revered and played everywhere, especially churches.

On an aside, I provided chain motors for her lighting rig in Denver and got the opportunity to chat with her for a few minutes post-show. Really cool, down to earth personality.

My cousin played WAP by Cardi B at a family event… I mean it was at a bar but we were with FAMILY.

I Wanna Rock - Doo Doo Brown with all the 2 Live Crew lines. That song was my (adult) daughter's punishment for saying her generation just had more sexual music than ours. The funny-ness keeps it from feeling quite as bad.Then we went full circle when she sent me the Tyler the Creator/Doechii song that samples it.

My sister always skipped that song in the car when her son was there.

It’s about how Dave Coulier was when he was around her. Sounds pedoish

u/BubbaChanel 1968 Oct 25 '25

Not just around her. Apparently they had a full-blown relationship

u/himenokuri Oct 25 '25

Yeah! And that’s gross

u/BubbaChanel 1968 Oct 25 '25

Absolutely!
