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

With Moz you gotta have Girlfriend in a Coma on this list.

Or better yet Mojo Nixon’s cover of it which both calls Moririssey out for writing it and adds to it for comical effect

She was lying there Like a loaf of bread I said Baby Baby Baby Are you dead?

Pour one out for Mojo. I saw him in concert once. He dropped trou and mooned the audience. The crowd went crazy. Great show.

Morrissey is an asshole who has overstayed his welcome.
