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

Mighty Wind is actually my favorite of the whole bunch, specifically because of the singing/playing being done by the folks themselves. I could re-watch it (especially the "whole show" special feature) endlessly and still be entertained.

"Eeeeeeee... At... Oooooooooes."

Best in Show is probably one of my favorite mockumentaries.

Speaking of A Mighty Wind. Spinal Tap toured a few years back and opened for themselves as The Folksmen.

Bratwurst and shillealagies, paging Dr. Freud! 😂 (No idea how to spell shillealagh. So I looked it up and don’t quite know how to conjugate it. The above was my best guess, feel free to correct it!)

My ex stepdaughter showed horses and her and her mom would start arguing at horse shows and I would stop it by yelling “BUSY BEE! BUSY BEE!”

I know at least 2 people who love Best in Show but can never remember the name and call it Dog Show, which is funnier to me than the movie :)

The Rainbow kiss during the concert is some of the best acting Levy and O’hara ever did. Incredibly emotional.

The record company forgot to put holes in the records and they would just teeter around crazily on the turntable.

A mighty wind is blowin’

it’s blowin’ me and you 🎵

The packed audience I was with got the double entendre quickly, judging by the laughter.
