Here is another installment of
my blog feature "Stoopid lyrics" where I share with you a
well-known song with lyrics that don't make sense.
Keep
in mind this doesn't mean the song is stoopid or that I don't
like the
song. In fact, most of the time I like the songs and only discover they
contain stoopid lyrics when I try to sing along. But in all cases, the
lyrics make absolutely no sense.
Blinded By the Light
performed by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground. But she was...
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride. But she was...
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired. She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night. But mama, that's where the fun is.
But mama, that's where the fun is. Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is.
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground. But she was...
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"
She got down but she never got tired, she's gonna make it through the night.
Sun afternoon Kerry & Hugh stopped in for a visit. They had been to Ocean City to open up their condo for the upcoming rental season, and stopped here before heading home. The weather was nice so we wound up visiting on the back porch for a while, and then went for a late lunch/early dinner at Pickled Pig Pub. It was really nice to visit with them, as always.
Now comes the hard part: reducing or eliminating all the delicious and tasty foods that have contributed to my high blood pressure and cholesterol, which is basically everything that is worth eating. Anybody have any heart-healthy recipes to share?
I wasn't scheduled for office duty on Sat or Sun, so I was kind of "off" from work, except that I had to go into the office and meet a client who was signing an offer which I
had to upload to finicky website, then meet another client to let them
show their visiting parents the home they are buying. So I was working
from 1-4pm on my "off" day. Other than that Spouse & I didn't do
much on Sat, honestly. Spouse was feeling kind of lazy and didn't feel
like doing anything I suggested. We did have dinner at Dos Locos with Steven & Thad, Robin, Alisha & Jack, and 1 of the Bobs. I tried the spicy pork tomatillo burrito and loved it! Why had I never tried it before? Its my new favorite item there. I also had a jalepeno margarita which was muy sabroso. Afterward we went to Steven & Thad's house for dessert and saw that they had gotten new living room furniture! Spouse & I both really liked the colors and style.
When I got home Spouse & I decided to take Marvin for a walk on the boardwalk. It was rather warm (again in the 60s) but turned out to be rather windy on the boardwalk so we still needed jackets. Marvin seemed to really enjoy the walk and the exposure to different people, dogs, and smells. We stopped at Lowes on the way home to walk through their garden center. We are planning to freshen up our yard for Spring and wanted to see if there were any unusual/interesting low-maintenance plants on sale. We left empty-handed.
