A Thousand (Musical) Monkeys
I was being very drunk last week, and tried quoting some song lyrics that I thought were relevant to a conversation I was having. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember what the lyrics were, and they weren’t as deep an meaningful as I thought anyway, but that wasn’t the point really.
What I was doing though, was trying to put into practise one of my theories of life. I can almost make it through each day quoting only Southpark (for it is great), especially a certain Mr Cartman (and his special song - "I hate you guys / you guys are assholes / especially (insert name of my current target) / I hate him the most / Come on you guys, you know the words"). For anything slightly more meaningful, however, I turn to other sources. With over 3600 songs in my playlist at the moment, I’m pretty sure that I can find lyrics to cover every emotion that I want to express. What I wasn’t so sure of is if the one song can consistently say what I feel; they usually miss the mark after a few verses. Yesterday I found it though - number 2814 says everything I want to say, and nothing else. But to tell you what the song is would ruin all the fun…
