Frankenmix 12.0 [Apr 07]
April Showers Mix

1. A song that ends with the letter “A”: “Amnesia” - Chumbawamba
You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue for better or worse
What goes around comes around
Again again again


2. A song that features a guitar solo: “Pinball Wizard (Acoustic)” – Pete Townsend
He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist


3. A song that mentions a literary character: “House of Tom Bombadil” – Nickel Creek
(One geek point if you identify this one. Kitten, you're ineligible.)

4. A song that isn't sweet at all: “My Little Town” – Simon & Garfunkel
And after it rains, there's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack


5. A song you would sing in the shower: “Vienna” – Linda Eder
(Yes, I really do sing this in the shower.)
Watching the rain fall in Vienna
Pictures of another time
From the corner of a small cafe
We watched the world go by


6. A song that your friends wouldn't expect you to like: “King of the Dance Hall” – Beanie Man
Pon bed pon floor against wall
We sex dem all till dem call mi
Im di girls dem sugar dats all
Welcome di king of di dancehall


7. A song that isn't a poem, but could be: “Thunder Road” – Bruce Springsteen
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets


8. A song that mentions an insect: “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love)” – Alanis Morissette, De-Lovely
Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love


9. A song for filling out paperwork: “Toccata in D Minor” – Johann Sebastian Bach
(Paperwork tends to fill me with a feeling of dread.)

10. Your favorite mash-up: “El Tango de Roxanne” – Moulin Rouge
Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me
But just don't deceive me
And please, believe me
When I say, I love you


11. A song for being stuck in the elevator with an attractive stranger: “Love You for a Day” – Ricky Martin
Let me love you for a day
Let me have you for a night
Let me take you far away
Take you to forever


12. A song about transportation: “The MTA” – The Kingston Trio
(I don't have a copy of this one with me, somehow, but I should have it in a few weeks.)
Now, you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal:
How the people have to pay and pay?
Fight the fare increase! Vote for whoever the hell is running up there.
Get old Charlie off the M. T. A.
