France Gall, Y’all!

I’ll Keep My Nose Clean

I Hate California Girls

See them on their big bright screen
tan and blonde and seventeen
Eating nonfood keeps them mean
but they’re young forever
If they must grow up
they marry dukes and earls
I hate California girls

They ain’t broke, so they put on airs,
the faux folk sans derrieres
They breathe coke and they have affairs
with each passing rock star
They come on like squares
then get off like squirrels
I hate California girls

Looking down their perfect noses
at me and my kind
do they think we won’t
well, never mind

Laughing through their perfect teeth
at everyone I know
do they think we won’t
get up and go?

So
I have planned my grand attacks
I will stand behind their backs
with my brand-new battle ax
Then will they taste my wrath
They will hear me say
as the pavement whirls
“I hate California girls…”

There Isn’t An Atom In Our Bodies That Isn’t Forged In The Furnace Of The Sun

Intermittent Sound

gone are the days of fuzzy vids from space. this is 2010. the sound goes in and out, though, so okay, we’re back to the 60s. boingboing made a great suggestion: play boards of canada while viewing. that suggestion kinda makes me wish i still smoked dope..

can you believe that sts-128 has 2 mexican american crew members? yeah, i know, the picture only seems to have one.  why you gotta be so stereotypical? john olivas, front right - he’s the other one.. they made him ‘lead spacewalker’. yep, give the mexican the dangerous job, yo. i watched the video and he’s got the thinnest little line attached to him while he’s dangling from the outside of the ship, like super-thin. you would think they’d have 5 huge cables hooked up to him, right?  no, just a thin little line separating him from a deep space vacu-death. who’s the mexican al sharpton? i need to make a call. we want aztlan back. you know, this land used to belong to the dinosaurs. this land was maybe once the ocean floor. we oughtta give it back to the manta rays. like now.

jose hernandez is the more stereotypical mexican looking guy. you’re terrible. don’t you know mexicans ‘come in all colors’? that sounds even more ghastly..anyway, he’s the flight engineer.

so yeah, we’ve got black presidents and spacewalking mexicans and dudes from scotland claiming they’re from canada. music has the right to children. the egyptian magician has a lovely mountain cat that mauls him live on stage. 2010 is a strange time, indeed. i do dearly miss gg allin and wesley willis, though. aint nothing ever gonna bring them back. not even a million spacewalking mexicans.

SUDDENLY THERE IS A TIDAL WAVE

You held me upside-down till I couldn’t breathe anymore 

Then you held me like a baby  

Television, like wine; and cigarettes, like grains of sand; 
and raspberry schnapps, like a thousand sunsets.  

The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries 

but suddenly there’s a tidal wave 
and everything is sucked out to sea.  

There were probably birds outside our little room 
I don’t remember anything but you  
We must have been the butt of all the jokes in the world 
for trying to live like Pippi Longstocking.
