Fried Eggs

I've been away for a while. What's fryin', eggs? (Have we come up with some sort of terminology for people who post here?)

My answer to an age-old question: what songs would you bring if you were stranded on an island? http://www.squidoo.com/desert-island-songs

Once I added "knowing you'll be rescued in a month" I had a much easier time narrowing down my list. Which songs would YOU restrict yourself to for a month along on a desert isle?

Mornin' Fryers! Saw Harry Potter yesterday. All I remember is the Tron preview. ;)

I spent most of the movie noticing how very thin Mr. Radcliffe's lips are and wondering why they couldn't get poor Ron a haircut. But hubby and I did a very subdued little geek dance of happiness after two minutes of Tron. I subdued my squee since we were in a theater with so many others.

I went looking for Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing I won't dance. I found Hugh Jackman.

So, you not only get a great history lesson from Suzanne Sommers but you get a song my mother actually took away from us when I was eight.

Honestly, the song makes my head ache, it's so shrill, but we played the record to death 'way back when. It was this one and On the Radio. Maybe we only loved them so much BECAUSE they drove my mother nuts.

Didn't someone recently post a video for Will It Go 'Round in Circles? I've got a great one to follow up that one: Billy Preston.

This could be the best version of In the Mood ever. I heart Glenn Miller.

I love this song. Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad. It was on the first Clash album I ever bought.

So, the news of the week is the stereotypical Guido who rented a warehouse and opened a strip club named Bada Bing...in Fargo.

He might have forgotten to mention it to the city, thinking that somehow the zoning and building codes didn't apply to him or to naked women or whatever his over-gelled little brain thought. And that a single toilet and no sewer connection was a good plan.

Best. Video. Ever.

I've discovered that there's no way to say that someone's video looks like the opening for really raunchy gay porn without sounding phobic.

All I wanted to point out was that a bunch of very pretty young men in a variety of leather outfits, some with collars covering their lower faces, and full eye make-up doing cheer routines out of sync with cheesy music doesn't make me understand why you would swoon over them as a young girl.…

I remember driving roads like this to get anywhere, once. I would so love to go back.

Hydrangeas grow wild there and line many roads, a riot of blue and purple that lasts all year long. As a kid that stunned me, coming from flatland suburbia.

I'm working on an article about The Lady Is a Tramp and this version blew me away. Sinatra and Ella!!!

Seriously, I just wanted to jump up and dance and sing with them!

Search term of the day: old people can't hear gangsta rap.

This is still one of my favorite songs ever. Usually they're so wiped out by the end of a concert it doesn't sound nearly this energetic!

The last one I went to they played four encores and then came back for this one. It was the most amazing live show I've ever seen.

I've been hunting down people to follow here in the hopes that a notification will bring them back to check out FE once more. Couldn't hurt.
