| Utah Phillips – The Goodnight-Loving Trail Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
My favorite song by Utah, the song is about an old cowboy reluctantly working on a chuck crew as a cook and general camp hand (sometimes referred to as "old women") as they can no longer handle the riggers of riding (riding the swing meaning to the side of a herd) on a cattle drive up the Goodnight–Loving trail (a route stretching from Texas to Wyoming) left alone to tend to camp for the evening while the rest of the group are off enjoying themselves. The song has unfortunately become even more relevant these days with longer living populations and fast changes to the job market more and more people are seeing the jobs they trained and worked for their whole lives becoming redundant, having to take any work they can do to keep themselves going. |

| MC Chris – Nrrrd Grrrl Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Probably my favorite MC Chris song just due to the comic book references, first verse mentions Wallflower who was in the New Mutants with (and close to) Elixir before she was assassinated by one of William Strykers Purifers Second verse has Kang (the Conquerer) and Cassie Lang (Stature) who kissed in the Young Avengers (when Kang was young and not the Conquerer .... its a time travel thing) Third verse talks about X-23 and Hellion who also like each other though thats yet to be developed anywhere beyond a few points showing they both like the other as far as i know. There are a few more obvious general refs as well like the Ghostbusters Egon and Annie Potts (played the secretary Janine in the movie) Ragnarok The Animation (anime based on the game) Serenity and 1 or 2 more I can't be bothered to mention. as for the Lucas and the Locusts it could mean either the movie Lucas or George n a GoW ref as said before so who knows eh. |
