I was thinking of some songs that I would want to look up to put on my mp3ish player tonight. I was driving home and I heard a song that I knew from a movie (Shag to be specific) and I tried to remember it so I could look it up tonight and I was getting nowhere. I even went through my tape of Shag (I gotta buy the DVD) only to get to the end and not have any of the song information on the end like they do now. It wasn't on the actual music CD (either is Stagger Lee- WTF?) I had to watch my favorite parts while I was fast forwarding through.
anyway...I finally found the title and the singers. It's 'Let Me In' by The Sensations. The song that constantly says wee ooo wee ooo... Anyway that led to finding about twenty other songs that I love and then led me to a song I would play constantly on my parents' record player. I'll Be Your Long Haired Lover From Liverpool by Jimmy Osmond. Yes, he an Osmond and this song kicks Puppy Love's butt. I used to play it over and over again. I think that song can roughly sum up that fact that I was not in the cool crowd in elementary school or anytime since...
If you haven't ever heard the song I suggest you do-- I would marry some guy if he tried to sing this to me. A young child probably wrote the song- but it is one of the most beautiful love songs I know.
Lyrics--
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
and I'll do anything you say.
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool,
if you'll be my sunshine daisy from L.A.
I'll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toad stool,
I'll serenade you till I'm old and gray.
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
you'll be my sunshine daisy from L.A.
You'll be my lovely daisy on the mountainside,
there are lots of other flowers, too.
But all the other flowers hung their heads and cried
because the loveliest of all of them was you.
But you were evidently the exception to the rule,
I picked you quickly then I ran away.
'Cause I was your long haired lover from Liverpool,
you were my sunshine daisy from L.A.
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
and I'll do anything you ask.
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool,
cut my hair, I'll even wear a mask.
I'll be your Valentine, and you'll be mine, and things'll be cool.
We'll move along together every day.
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
you'll be my sunshine daisy from L.A.,
you'll be my sunshine daisy from L.A.
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
and I'll do anything you ask.
I'll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool,
cut my hair I'll even wear a mask.
I'll be your Valentine, and you'll be mine, and things'll be cool.
We'll move along together every day.
I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool,
you'll be my sunshine daisy from L.A....
An Example of my cool factor when I was younger- note the well fashioned Barbie and the Rockers design of my shirt.
I really hate how women are being treated in this society lately. I'm not an ultra feminist, but shows like Rock of Love and Flavor of Love, and my most recent hate Millionaire Matchmaker. The 'lady' who runs this disgusting organization can try to make it seem all about love, but she is nothing but a fucking pimp. It sickens me. I started watching it just by flipping through and landing on it accidentally.
Patti from Millionaire Matchmaker
She services men who are millionaires and 'helps' them to find their mate (aka whore). Not only do I hate how she treats the women on the show- dismissing some women because of their age, hair color (she hates red heads), and her standard of beauty-- but she is not much better at how she transforms the men. Since these men are rich she tells them how to do everything from how they dress, to how they decorate their houses. I could go on and on about how much this show pisses me off... And I'm sure if I watch anymore I may go on another crazy tangent
There is another matchmaker named Patti that I do like from A&E's Confessions of a Matchmaker. She is down to earth and you can sense that she truly is trying to help the person find someone to share their life with. She is beyond awesome and she could beat the shit out of Bravo's Patti.
Rest In Peace Heath Ledger. Too young and too talented to die at 28. I've never been a big crazy fan, but I have liked him in the movies I've seen that he was in. It's sad.
The actor, Allan Melvin, who played Alice's old man died on Thursday. He was 84. I posted this mainly because I love this picture.
But I just watched about ten minutes of Rock of Love 2 tonight and I was totally A. disgusted and B. horrified and C. ashamed to recognize one of the 'girls' as a former Beauty and the Geek contestant. That made me sad for her that this is her life.
her on Beauty and the Geek with Scooter (who I loved)
her on Rock of Love 2
