This Explains a Lot, or Stupid Songs I've Set Aside For Shits and Giggles, or Totally Not an FST
An FST would have a fancy cover with graphics and stuff. This does not. You're just getting a zip of songs you probably already have. Speaking of which, this probably can't be classified as an FST because it's considerably lacking in songs by Fiona Apple and Vienna Teng, and isn't really all too regretful or melancholy in tone. This is just Stupid Shit I Keep in Mind When Playing Him. Which probably Explains a Lot, when you think about it. It's also probably embarassingly revealing with regard to my musical tastes. So, that said, you've been warned. Onto the downloads and song list--
1. I Just Can't Wait to be King, from the Lion King
Can't give you exemplary lyrics on this one, just because it's hard to single out any significant chunk in a song that's going in like, three different directions at once. It's also just funny.
2. Take on the World, by Judas Priest
Put yourself in our hands, so our voices can be heard,
And together we will take on all the world.
Move a little nearer, you know you gotta follow your leaders,
Cause we need you, like you need us for sure.
His dealings with most others. It's about solidarity! And by "solidarity", he usually means "shaddup and listen to me". But it's really for your own good, duh.
3. The Monster is Loose, by Meat Loaf
The monster is loose,
This game is win or lose!
Sometimes you gotta do it
And show the world you want it all...
So, that pillaging and destruction. There is a method to his madness...just not a very good one.
4. I'm On a Boat, by The Lonely Island
I'm on a boat motherfucker, take a look at me!
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea,
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat,
You can't stop me motherfucker, 'cause I'm on a boat!
I'm on a boat, motherfucker, don't you ever forget.
5. Rock You Like a Hurricane, by The Scorpions
The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight, for love at first sting
He thinks he's such hot shit.
6. Jug of Punch, by The Clancy Brothers
What more diversion can a man desire
Than to sit him down by a snug turf fire:
Upon his knee a pretty wench
And upon his table a jug of punch?
I can't believe it took this long to get to the booze.
7. Mountain Dew, by The Clancy Brothers
Throw away your pills; it will cure all ills,
Be ye pagan, Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat
With the rare old mountain dew!
Ah, booze. Blood is thicker than water, but so is beer. Or any kind of hooch.
8. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, ver. Rufus Wainwright
So on we go,
His welfare is of my concern.
No burden is he to bear,
We'll get there,
For I know
He would not encumber me
The more benign side of this "solidarity" business. There isn't a lot he won't do for those he considers family...when he's not busy imposing his will on them and on the whole smothering them.
9. The Wrong Company, by Flogging Molly
No I drink when I want!
He said, "You'll never be sober."
"Sure. Why would I want that?
I only drink to be merry..."
..."but unfortunately, I'm in the wrong political infrastructure, and the wrong century!"
10. Seven Deadly Sins, by Flogging Molly
But It's the only life we'll know,
Blagards to the bone!
So don't wreck yourself,
Take an honest grip
For there's more tales beyond the shore!
What it's all really about, in the end.
11. You May Be Right, by Billy Joel
Friday night I crashed your party,
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed it out again
I was only having fun,
Wasn't hurting anyone,
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change!
C'mon, guys, lighten up, huh?
12. Teenage Rampage, by Sweet
All over the land
The kids are finally startin' to get the upper hand
They're out in the streets, they turn on the heat
And soon they could be completely in command!
Oh, those crazy teenage years.
13. I Am Downright Amazed (At What I Can Destroy With Just a Hammer), by Atom and His Package
Nails in drywall, paint haul, blah blah.
Move in, no sink, new broom, I think.
I bribed the garbage man!
I am a super bad boy again.
And I am downright amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer.
And I am downright amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer.
He's not allowed to hold kids or fragile things. This mentality is why.
