Oh crappy day!

So...I'm sitting here, "waisting time" by doing various job searches, looking around on Facebook, playing solitair (I've won 3 out 10 so far) and looking for some "peppy and snappy" songs to play on this very grey day. (What is the correct spelling of that word please? I always use grey and then I'm corrected to use gray)

A few Facebook pals gave me suggestions for some peppy songs: Kari suggested: And She Was by the Talking Heads...very peppy indeed.

My pal Jenni in Chicago threw in: Mr. Blue Sky by ELO...also very peppy and quite apporpriate for a crappy day!

I played them both...felt a little better for about 8 minutes or so and then I started looking around on YouTube.

I typed in: Snappy and I found the Snappy Theatre Vagina Dance!

This would definitely fall into Dive's WTF? Monday because...WTF.

There are some strange things going on in this dance.

Around 1:22 I think these vagina's get crabs. But that is just my interpretation.

Then around 2:15 I'm thinking there is a yeast infection of some kind. But again...that is just my interpretation.

But I only have one opinion...I would LOVE to hear yours!

The ending is kind of odd, but cute...but still kind of odd.

Enjoy!

Musical Musings

My apologies to you all.

I had in my mind to have a "guest poster" today. The Marvelous Miss "M". She reads my blog quite often and has suggested a song or two to post on occasion.

We discussed it.

I know she picked out a song.

I asked her about it last night so I could write it all up today.

And we BOTH forgot which song it was.

Ain't gettin' old fun?

Then - things got busy at work and I spaced out there for a little while and ...

Excuses, excuses, excuses!

:::sigh:::

SO....I found myself scrambling around for something to post.

Finding no inspiration on the 3500 songs I have on my iPod, I went to my vinyl collection to see what kind of obscure piece o' musical brilliance I could WOW you all with.

You all have seen my posts...you know my taste in music is crap...but it's FUN crap!

I found a few albums that I think don't belong to me. Or at least not originally anyway. I may "borrowed" them from someone else and then have forgotten to return them later. My memory has always been a bit flaky.

Conveniently so.

A few things I learned about my vinyl collection that I never realized before:

I have 1 too many Barbra Streisand Albums (I have 2)

I have a few weird soundtrack albums: A Clockwork Orange. Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar, A Chorus Line and Little Miss Sunshine (how's that for diverse)

I hope that if someone found these records someday, they don't think I'm complete dork. (that will be hard)

I think I have 1 too many Anne Murray albums too. (I have 4)

There are some interesting highlights though:

• I forgot I had Stevie Nicks Bella Donna album.



• The Debbie Harry KooKoo album cover still freaks me out.




• I think I own the only album Quarterflash ever made.



• When the hell did I buy Paul Simon's Graceland album and why?

Hmmmm...oh well.

One little gem shined out through all the rest though. I had completely forgotten I had this and I just grinned from ear to ear as soon as I saw the cover.

Gilda Radner Live from New York!

This album never fails to cheer me up when I'm feelin' down. I LOVE Gilda! She was such a cutie and so talented too. She is surely missed.

I looked at the back cover and there are all over her characters that she created over the years:

Candy Slice

Emily Litella (Nevermind!)

Lisa Loopner

Rhonda Weiss and the Rhondettes

and of course - Rosanne Roassnadanna!

I don't have a turntable anymore unfortunately so I can't play this at the moment, but I found a few segments on YouTube and I have the VHS of this show that I still watch occasionally.

Gilda was another one of those comic geniuses whose life was cut way too short.

So for this weeks Musical Musings I leave you with the opening song from that performance and hope it brings a little smile to your day!
