Well, I woke up at 5 AM this Mornin'...Still on Euro Time, Circadian-Rhythm-Wise...and since I had to borrow the Son's dented car for Lunch Break, it came with EMINEM a-Playin' on the new Cassette System he'd recently installed. "Slim Shady" musta gotten to me, 'cuz I was in a Sorta "Screw It ALL" Sorta Mood when I wrote this Today...(Hadn't had a MINUTE to rewrite any of the Eurotunes yesterday, as-Planned...) Ah Well...

I'M TIRED Of "BEIN' RESPECTIBLE"
In a World of "Censure" & "Correctable"
I'd Rather "Create-a-Spectacle"
('Cuz Sometimes...I DON'T CARE!)

Gonna Grow My Hair into a PONYTAIL
Wear a Little EYESHADOW, make the Ladies Wail
Maybe FOCUS on "Gettin' a Little MORE Tail?"
('Cuz Sometimes...I DON'T CARE!)

& Get a Gold EARRING for My Ear
A Rear-View Of CHER Tattooed On My Rear
Then "Shakin' BOOTY" Does "DOUBLE DUTY" Here
('Cuz Sometimes...I DON'T CARE!)

Maybe Get a STUD put Thru my Lip
Let My Pants Hang WAY below My Hips
& TRY Some Absynthe, Just a Little Sip
('Cuz Sometimes...I DON'T CARE!)

(MUSICAL BRIDGE)

Gonna Get some RED DYE For My Hair
Find the Same Shade of LIPSTICK Tom Cruise Wears
Get "F*** OFF" Branded on My Arm There
('Cuz Sometimes...I DON'T CARE!)

(TAGS)
'Cuz..Sometimes...I Don't CARE!

Yeah, SOMETIMES...I Don't Care...

(Sometimes, I Just DON'T CARE!)

Howdy Dawg!

Yeah, maybe I oughta Change The Title seems to be The Concensus...but I sorta DO Care...even in "EMINEM Mode"...

WAS Fascinated with His lyric (Title Forgotten) dealing with "Star Worship"...same song he Duetted with Elton John on the Grammys...shows Surprising CARING & Insights on His Part dealing with Fanatical Fans (He actually Urges the more Suicidal Ones to "Seek Counselling!") Anyways, This Kid can WRITE a Compelling Song (Or Two) & I've found him to be Inspiring--even if for only one sorta Iconoclastic Number by The Ol' Guy! (He makes BIG Points about how PARENTS let their Kids DOWN...DO Give the Kid a Good Listen {Sounds like YOU Already have, Dawg...guess I'm in Soapbox Mode even yet!})

Anyways, I thank ya Kindly for the Nice Feedback & Yeah, perhaps Will Change that Title!

Hope the Foot's Doin' Better Today, Buddy!

Big Guy-Hug,
Stan

Hi Tampa....Well, I've got something to say, and if you don't like it, I DON'T CARE [Linked Image] (just kidding, of course). I vote for the I DON'T CARE title. You really did a good job with this. The only place I tripped a bit was "rear-view" on my "rear". Now, I know right above you said "earring" in your "ear", and think maybe you were trying to play with that repeat sort of thing. I'd try to do something with gold HOOP for my ear....and maybe the BACKSIDE of Cher....but then, I'm not writing the song (nor could I...I'd ruin it). So, do whatever you think is best. You've done well so far! [Linked Image]

Hiya Pam!

I really had a Ball in Europe listening to What's Hot on the Radio...AND heard a few of EMINEM's Over There, too...

It's HARD to Not Remember the Boinky Little Melodies that underpin many of his Fine (& Some NOT So Fine) Angst-Laden Songs...Collaborator Sue is in L.A. this Week, & she works with Media Education for Jr. High Schoolers, is pretty Hip to what Melodies are workin' well with the Kiddies, so I'm hopin' she'll Demo This with me next Thursday when she's returned.

I'm not sure YET whether this'n's a Parrody or Not...heh-heh...sung by an Old Duck like Me, it sure IS, but in the Hands of a Punk Rocker, could well be an Anthem, eh? :-)

Thanks for the Kind Words, & yeah, guess I Should Change the Title...

Big Hug,
Stan

Hidee John-John!

I couldn't RESIST puttin' in this little Tom Cruise Tweek...it's so Eminem-esque!

Cruise probably COULDN'T sue me because MOST actors DO wear Lipstick (& Mascaraed Eyebrows) for many a Shoot. Pancake, too!
As-penned, there's NO Real allusion to WHATEVER Sexual Preferrence Tom HAS whatsoever. So he could just Sit There & Sulk...'cuz, Yeah, "I Don't Care!"

I actually LIKE the Guy's Acting, just kinda abhor him walkin' out on that Gorgeous Wife & adopted kid, that's all.
REALLY Respect him for that Rock-Climbing Intro in one of his More Recent Flicks (Naturally, I've Forgotten the Title, Rats!) 'cuz it takes REAL 'Nads to climb a vertical face like that with NO Net.

Just havin' a Wee Bit O' Fun; think even Tom'd get a laugh outta this line after he slept on it...

Yeah, at My Age, "Once a Day" certainly applies Primarily to Songwriting, sure glad I can Keep It Up! :-)

Big Thanks for the Feedback/Warning!

Big Guy-Hug...(So Sue Me for it, Eh?) :-)

K, I'm gonna weigh in on the title, think you best change it, JMO, natch. [Linked Image]

There were some really really funny lines in here, the stuff about Tom crushes me as a fan from way back, but it's not like I had or wanted a chance with him anyway.... [Linked Image]

But what's "Absynthe"? Nobody else asked, so I feel a bit Tinkish, but if you don't ask, how ya gonna find out?

Really fun one!! I enjoyed the read and seeing you back again! Wished I could have been there with you to meet Letty. She's another member of the boards, I've wanted to meet. Bet she was really a doll.

Hiya Sunshine!

Thanks for Commentin', Kind Lady!

Yeah, the "Rear-Back View" WAS a Toughie Line, one that never Quite perfectly Gelled, now DID It? Strangely (The way MY Mind Works) this whole Lyric was Inspired by a little Butt-pat my Wife gave me as I was waking up. Somehow I connected that with that Battleship Video
Cher made ("IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME")
& Then The EMINEM Influence of Yesterday's Listening to my Son's Tape Deck en route to lunch--and the Lyric took on a Life of Its Own!

I'll confess to Bangin' this'n out in 15 Minutes. Actually DID rewrite the Cher Line Twice...& "Backside" got Nixed 'cuz it sounded too much like I'd be tattooing her BUTT on My Butt... Maybe "Back VIEW of Cher'd" work better? (I didn't consciously GO For The "Repeat" in those 2 lines...but seems to BE There, don't it?)

Well, I DO Thank You for givin' me Something To Think About!

Big Hug,
Stan

Hi {{{{{{{Tinkabella!}}}}}}}

Hey, think I can Weasel Out by SUBTITLING
this Urchin like So:

"TIRED OF BEIN' RESPECTIBLE (Sometimes I Just Don't CARE!)"

Hope that Soothes the Reviewers?

Sorry 'bout Tom, but those are the Typical Rumors that get Launched during
Messy Divorces..and are Usually Blatantly Untrue. (The Guy is One Handsome HUNK, Whichever Gender lands him!) And a Fine Actor/ Human Being!

The Referrence to "Absynthe", a fin du Siecle Dangerous Drink (Think it had Wormwood in it, among Other Wonnaful Stuff), is somewhat an Hommage to Nicole Kidman, now playin' in "MOULIN ROUGE"...
Absynthe was probably "The Drink of Choice" in that Temple of Forbidden Pleasures. It's also the Only "Drug Referrence" in the entire Song/ Serves the Plotline Well!

Good Ol' Letty...(& Fun, Wonnaful Peter, too!) Meetin' them Both for the First Time made this trek to Europe Especially Meaningful! Peter (Jenkins) Kristian really DOES Look like Paul McCartney/Plays a Mean Guitar, too! Some Serious Male-Bondin' took place at his Bayeux Estate!

Letty I met at a nice Pizza Restaurant in Nyons, Switzerland, sorta between Neuchatel and Geneva, where Letty lives & works. I'd scheduled a Visit/Sleepover with Longtime Swiss Bannker Chum, Frank Traber, & his Italian-American Knockout Wife, MariaLouisa. ML didn't show up 'till Later that Eve (was shoppin' in Paris with Gal Chums) so Frank, His Daughter, Veronique, Letty, My Wife & I, all "Connected" for Supper at the Pizza Place. Letty arrived there First, so was initially overwhelmed by all the New Faces when Our Group showed up!

She's slightly Tall, Lithe (was expectin' Plumper, for some Reason...), Shapely, nicely Blonde, with a Great Smile & bright Eyes. Good Wit, GREAT Songs (We each had a Cassette Player & CD player along...but no Ghetto Blaster, Alas, so we all took turns with the Headphones & passed Songs back & Forth all Evening like a Pot Pipe! (Frank, it turned out, used to play in a 3 Piece band all over Geneva in his Younger years, so he was a Good Listener as well as Critiquer. Veronique prefers CLASSICAL MUSIC {What a SHOCK!} so obviously MOM had gotten to her at an Early Age!)

End of the Eve, I traded the Best of Big Hugs with this Fine Lady Writer, now Well on Her Way writin' Serious CD Cuts for Israeli Producer Yuri (What is his Last Name, I Forget, Dern!)...12, at last count! (Only in Europe can you give a Fine Lookin' Blonde Lady a Big Hug in front of Your Wife AND Get Away With It!)
God, It was Fun!

Hopefully You & Larry had as much fun up in (was it Detroit?) while I was away...

Thanks again for the Welcome back {{Hug}} & here's a Bigg'n Backatcha!

{{{{{{{Tink!}}}}}}}

Cute lyric, Stan. I enjoyed it. But are you kidding about not knowing the title of the song Eminem and Elton duetted on at the Grammys? Because it's called..... "Stan"!

You Gotta be KIDDIN' me, Anth'! Is It REALLY? Well, I been Accused of Forgettin' EVABODY'S Name before, & now I guess it's Full-Circle!

Well, add THIS to the "Annecdote Pile," eh?

What a Hoot!

Thanks for the Feedback/Fresh Info! (Still Chucklin'!)

Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
