Frankenmix 20.0 [Dec 07]
Winter Break Mix

1. A cynical song: “Experiment” – Kevin Klein (De-Lovely)
Be curious,
Though interfering friends may frown.
Get furious
At each attempt to hold you down.


2. A song that starts with the letter "K": “Keep on Lovin’ You” – Lisa Loeb
And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you.
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do.
I don't wanna sleep.
I just wanna keep on lovin' you.


3. The unofficial theme song of your family: “Monkees Theme” – The Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singin'
To put anybody down


4. A song that uses bells: “Bells: Tolling of the Knell” – Kronos Quartet

5. A song for a long and boring drive: “Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche
Scaramouche
Will you do the fandango?

[I have been known to sing along with this song at full volume when tired of the people I'm with.]


6. A song that includes the word "fire": “Fire in the Sky” – The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
There's a fire in the sky
It's like the light in your eyes


7. A cold song: “Funeral Tango” – Jack Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris
They've laid my poor soul bare,
And all they do is laugh.

8. A song that you only listen to in December: “The Atheist Christmas Carol” – Vienna Teng
It's the season of grace
Coming out of the void,
Where a man is saved
By a voice in the distance.


9. A song that's thisclose to driving you nuts: “The Boy With the Violin” – Buskin and Batteau
But the window was wide open.
There were footprints in the dew.
And in her heart, she was hopin',
But deep inside, she knew.

[Rapists and bad prose: the song I love to hate.]


10. A song that makes you smile, despite yourself: “Marvin” – Stephen Moore
Outer alloy,
Inner void:
Marvin.


11. A song for working retail: “Say Something Funny” – A Class Act
Make mine a double special, please, on rye.
Say something funny,
Right on the money.
Say something funny.
Try.

12. A song for your loved ones: “What I Did for Love” – A Chorus Line
Gone.
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.

13. A song for hiding out from your loved ones: “Looking for Space” – John Denver
And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand


14. A song for the end of a too-short vacation: “Spring Street” – Dar Williams
Yeah, let's watch the tour bus stop and tell us:
"Here's the scene of a spring green life dream.
Take the best part,
Write it in your caffeine diary."
