Good, good, good, good, the good eleven, yeah
It's almost as easy as multiplying by one
Good, good, good, good eleven (Mmm)
Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun

Some people get up at a quarter until seven
Other people lie abed until 8:45 or nine
But I'm happy just to hang in there until eleven
Because eleven has always been a friend of mine

Good, good, good, good eleven
Never gave me any trouble until after nine
Good, good, good, good eleven (Mmm)
Eleven will always be a friend of mine

Now when you get a chance to multiply by eleven (Eleven, yeah!)
It's almost as easy as multiplying by one
You don't even have to use a pencil when you use eleven
And eleven almost makes multiplication fun

You know why? (Yeah!)
Because you get those funny-looking double-digit doojies as an answer
Like 22, 33, 44 and 55
66, 77, 88, and 99 is your answer
When you multiply 11 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Good, good, good, good eleven
Never gave me any trouble until after nine
Good, good, good, good eleven (Mmm)
I can always get that answer easy every time

Now eleven times ten is the same is ten times eleven (Ten times eleven)
It's 110 no matter what you do
And 121 is the answer to eleven times eleven
And eleven times twelve is 132

Eleven thirteens are 143, now (That's 1-4-3)
Eleven fourteens are 154 (Dig it, it's 1-5-4)
1-6-5 and 1-7-6 are fifteen and sixteen
You'd better pick up on the pattern
Because I ain't got time to tell you any more

I've got a date with the good eleven
She never gave me any trouble until after nine
(Good, good, good, good)
Good, g-g-g-good, eleven (Mmm)
Yes, eleven will always be a friend of mine

    I sang some of this to my oldest son when he turned 11. "Good, good eleven. You never gave me any trouble 'til after nine." (He didn't appreciate the second line.) :)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
