…And so it ends.

365 days.

365 days straight. It’s been fun, I’ve enjoyed myself, but all things must pass. This is my last post for this blog…most likely.

I’ve had fun, for the most part. There’s been some frustration–particularly in terms of some of the songs I wanted to cover but could not for various reasons–but by and large I’ve enjoyed doing this.

At the same time, it’s also been a bit of a grind. Anyone who’s followed this knows that I’ve frequently had a hard time finding something new to say about each one. I certainly got sick of saying “it’s fun” or “it’s got a great beat and you can dance to it”, but at the same time, that’s about as much as I can find frequently.

Anyway, I feel good about 365 days. I think that’s a good run, and a good number to go out on.

Thanks to everyone who’s read and commented. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Farewell.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax
Posted by Randy Jackson at 12:00 am in Uncategorized

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

This is one of the all time great dance songs, at least in my estimation. It’s a fun song about–well, about sex. Nothing wrong with that.

There’s tons of information about the song at Wikipedia.

Here’s a link to the video

And of course, the lyrics:

Oh oh
Wellllll now!

Relax don’t do it
When you want to go to it
Relax don’t do it
When you want to come
Relax don’t do it
When you want to come
When you want to come

Relax don’t do it
When you want to to go to it
Relax don’t do it
When you want to come
Relax don’t do it
When you want to suck to it
Relax don’t do it
When you want to come
Come — oh oh oh

But shoot it in the right direction
Make making it your intention — ooh yeah
Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me
Hit me
Hit me with those laser beams

I’m coming
I’m coming — yeah

Relax don’t do it
When you want to go to it
Relax don’t do it
When you want to come

Relax don’t do it
When you want to suck to it
Relax don’t do it (love)
When you want to come
When you want to come
When you want to come
Come — huh

Get it up
The scene of love
Oh feel it

Relax
Higher higher

Hey
Pray

Once in a while…
Posted by Randy Jackson at 12:18 am in Uncategorized

Music makes me weep with joy.

Right now, I am watching Roy Orbison: Black and White. Later, i may well watch Stop Making Sens with Talking Heads.

I may well weep the entire night.
