  1. I’ve been on a Joni Mitchell kick lately. I can’t believe she wrote this song when she was a teenager.

    Oh, but now old friends, they’re acting strange
    And they shake their heads and they tell me that I’ve changed
    Well, something’s lost, but something’s gained
    In living every day

    I’ve looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It’s life’s illusions I recall
    I really don’t know life at all

    She sings the same song at 70 and it sounds so different.

    1. “on a Joni Mitchell kick lately”

      Weirdly…. I lurve Joni Mitchell but Both Sides Now has never been that high on my personal list…

      You turn me on, I’m a radio,

      Down to you

      Just like this train,

      People’s parties – the same situation

      Shades of Scarlett conquering

      In France they kiss on Main street

      the Boho Dance

      Are all above it for me…

  2. “my favorite song ever”

    If it did nothing else again, the internet totally justified its existence with the literal video of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” (Bonnie Tyler has said that she loves it too).

    So many great lines….

    “And they shouldn’t fence at night, or they’re going to hurt the gymnasts”

    “I’m totally shaking his hand.”

  4. Writer-producer Jim Steinman created a lot of terrific songs, and “Total Eclipse…” is one of his best. Semi-fun fact–this song stayed in the #1 spot in the US for four weeks, keeping the Air Supply song “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” another Jim Steinman composition, at #2.

  5. My absolute favorite song, though, is “Bitch betta have my money” by AMG. Lyrics by William Butler Yeats.

    I’m no joke when I stroke for a client
    Bitches need dick, so they buying it
    G with the high-top fade
    Open up your Coach bag, bitch, so I can get paid
    And take off your G-string drawers
    Bitch eat your Wheaties, ’cause I don’t pause
    What are you laughing at, ain’t a damn thing funny
    (Bitch betta have my money)

    I don’t charge by the inch, I charge by the foot
    Think I’m lyin’, bitch, here, take a look
    100% USDA grade-A beef, here’s my card, call me
    You look like you ain’t been pumped in a while
    Pick up the motherfucking phone and dial
