Couldn't Care Less

Barenaked Ladies

I guess I lied to you when I told you I like baseball
It's not so much the game I like it's the hats
See this white band around my neck? It's nice!
It's not just fashion
Hartz made it to protect me from ticks, fleas, and gnats

I couldn't care less what's in a chocolate mousse
I couldn't care less what are the five fruits in five alive juice
I couldn't care less how old are Ernie and Bert
I couldn't care less what's under KD Lang's skirt

Shaggy said to Velma, "Hey now Velma how you doing?"
And Velma said "Jinkies Shag I'm just fine."
Then Daphne said to Fred "Hey let's get drunk down in the forest"
And all night Fred was yakking up red wine

I couldn't care less why was Fonzie cool
I couldn't care less how sweat hogs do in school
I couldn't care less how do they fill the Caramilk bar
I couldn't care less my car says "the door is ajar."

I couldn't care less what's in a chocolate mousse
I couldn't care less what are the five fruits in five alive juice
I couldn't care less how old are Ernie and Bert
I couldn't care less what's under KD Lang's skirt

I wish I had a nickname like Crusher, Snake or Kenneth
Cause guys with nicknames always get the gals
When I grow up I'll name my children Alice Albert and Alfred
I'll call them for supper like this, "Dinner's ready, Al!"

I couldn't care less what Morton Downey says
I couldn't care less what's on the head of my Pez
I couldn't care less do Zoodles need a trained zookeeper?
I couldn't care less why's the Super Big Gulp cheaper
No really, that's ridiculous

I couldn't care less what's in a chocolate mousse
It’s ground up antlers
I couldn't care less what are the five fruits in five alive juice
Apples, cheese, broccoli
I couldn't care less how old are Ernie and Bert
Their like fourty or something
I couldn't care less what's under KD Lang's skirt
I really don’t know

    This song is great. I think the funniest part is after the line "Jinkies, shaggy I'm fine" one of the guys says "Roobie doobie doo!" LOL

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
