Country Kick Over?

For the past few years I have been on a big country music kick. It really turned into a habit. But recently i have found my desire for the country twang declining... Now, that does not mean I still don't like my australian hottie Keith Urban!

My affection for new Edwin McCain music is also at an all time low. His new album, Lost in America... I am not even going to talk about it. I refuse...

So - the replacement? Justin's EMO rock stuff or whatever it is called. He just dropped me a batch of mp3s today - some I requested - others I did not. One that I did request was Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, we're goin' down swining" With much of rock music on today understanding the lyrics is tough. In fact after the little incident I am about to describe I realized I was missing half of the words in this song.

Justin IMs me over to his desk - I scurry over. He hands me his ear phones and on one monitor I see what appears to be the intro page to a bad animation video for the Fall Out Boy (FOB) song just mentioned. On the other monutor a page with the lyrics for the song.

I immediately catch words I did not know and had horribly replaced with other things. This video really did a great job of emphasizing the terrible diction and annunciation that this song so clearly presents listers with. Thank you Andrew Mathas.

The Lyrics:

Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cus that's just who i am this week
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song
Drop a heart and break a name
We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're goin down swingin
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded gun complex
Cock it and pull it x2

Is this more then you bargined for yet
Oh don't mind me. I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Is'nt it messed up how i'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song
Drop a heart and break a name
We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down down in an earlier round
And sugar we're goin down swingin
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded gun complex cock it and pull it....


So - when you thought this good post was about over I have 1 more thing for you...
EASTER TURDUKEN. Heck yes!

Turducken is really quite good, very tender and I recommend it highly!! Our family usually reserves it for Christmas though.
