Roller Derby Queen
Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen
Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers
Chorus:
The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen
(Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)
The meanest hunk o' woman
That anybody ever seen
Down in the arena
She is a five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
That she were built like a 'fridgerator with a head
The fans called her "Tuffy"
But all her buddies called her "Spike"
Chorus
Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)
Well I could not help it but to fall in love
With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin' of
Things looked kind of bad
Until the day she skated into my life
Well she might be nasty she might be fat
But I never met a person who would tell her that
She's my big blonde bomber
My heavy handed Hackensack mama
Chorus
Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

I find most commercials annoying, but this one for the Discovery Channel is both entertaining and well done. A special place in my heart for the :51, :52 and :53 second interval

Dedicated to the Funkiest person I've ever known.
From www.wisegeek.com
Tupelo honey includes table and baking grades of honey made from the blossoms of the tupelo gum tree, nyssa aquatica. The tupelo gum tree grows in flooded forest areas in states such as Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and Virginia as well as along the Mississippi River, but tupelo honey is mainly only produced commercially in areas along the Choctawhatchee, Apalachicola and Ochlockonee rivers. Tupelo honey made from the white tupelo gum tree, nyssa ogeche, is top quality table honey and is valued for its uniquely delicious flavor and its inability to granulate.
White tupelo honey is sometimes called fine tupelo honey and is the most expensive honey because it is the most expensive to produce. Care must be taken by the beekeepers to clean the combs at the right time so that when the white tupelo gum tree blossoms, only the honey from these blossoms is collected. White tupelo honey is a prized, sweet and delicious light amber table honey with a greenish hue to it and it won't granulate or crystallize.
Black tupelo honey is made from the blossoms of the black tupelo gum tree, nyssa sylvatica, and it produces a darker honey that will granulate. Black tupelo is not prized for table honey and is often used as a bakery grade honey. Both white and black types of tupelo honey are produced by placing bees on platforms on the tupelo gum trees in the spring months. As the bees travel through the swamps they produce the honey from the gum trees' nectar.
If top quality white tupelo honey is mixed with any other type of honey such as black tupelo, wildflower or gallberry, it will granulate. Only fine white tupelo honey won't granulate or crystallize. The delightful taste of pure white tupelo honey can be savored on hot buttered toast or cold vanilla ice cream as well as on or in many other foods.
Sing it, Van......

All this talk of gumbo and beignets, I'm sorry, I just had to...
I Will Play For Gumbo
Jimmy Buffett
I don't smoke I don't shoot smack
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back
Don't eat beignets too much sugar and dough
But I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo
It started in my grandma's in her kitchen by the sea
She warned me when where she told me "son the first one's free"
It hit me like a rock or some Tae-Kwon-Do
'Cause, I will play for gumbo
Oh Yeah, I will play for gumbo
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo
Yes, I will play for gumbo
I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes
Or a pile of caviar that's a rich man's dream
No banana split or filet of pompano
No, I will play for gumbo
Yeah, I will play for gumbo
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
It could be it's that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
Maybe it's that voodoo from Marie Laveau
But I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo
Now the Sauce Boss makes his cookin' on the stage
Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage
Sweating and a frettin' from his head to his toe
Playin' and swayin' with the gumbo
Prayin' and buffetin' with the gumbo
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo
I will play for gumbo
I will play for gumbo

The Mills Brothers - "Cab Driver"
My favorite piece of music ever, Santo and Johnny, "Sleepwalk"
Acker Bilk - "Stranger On The Shore"
This melody is just simply gorgeous...
Percy Faith - "Theme From A Summer Place"
I called a local oldies station and whistled this one to the DJ, and he cheerfully gave me the title that had been eluding me for years,
Bent Fabric, "Alley Cat"
This was Gramma's favorite, and she always wanted me to dance with her at weddings to it. I miss her, a lot..Hit it Al,
This guy's voice makes me think of my Mom and Dad's console stereo, real oak, red cloth speaker grills, big as a chest freezer..

The prettiest father/daughter duo, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, "Something Stupid"
I'm not a huge Sinatra fan, but I do love this song. Frank Sinatra, "Summer Wind"

Lovely Katie. You share your Birthday with the one and only Gene Simmons.

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
"Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio?"
The Ramones.

My God, will there ever be anyone else that will be as cool? No Wiki links because they wouldn't have wanted that.
Baby I Love You (A true gem)
The funniest excerpt from the Ramones "Anthology" disc is from their road manager. He was driving them in a van from gig to gig. They had stopped for gas, and a woman approached him and commended him for taking 'those retarded men out for the day.'
Gabba Gabba Hey!
