This is like our...Hippy fantasy come true...Ah, campfires...Who got the marshmellows? Well, I heard there's marshmallows and s'mores this year, are there? F'real? Ahhhh....

(Band speaks out of the range of the microphone)

...Scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly,
Also known as a busta',
Always talkin' about what he want,
Wanna' get wit' a guy like that,

So...No, I don't want your number
No, I don't wanna' give you mine, and
No, I don't wanna' meet you nowhere
No, I don't wanna' none'a your time

I don't want no scrub,
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Sittin' on the passenger side of his best friend's ride, tryin' to holler at me(microphone malfunction)

Hello? (Sorry.)
(Laughter)

Yeah! Shit...We should do more covers, huh?

    Brittney Engel Thesis: Imagination and things unseen are themes used in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as a security to explain the unexplainable and as an escape from understanding and dealing with reality. I. Deaf and Dumb A. It is an escape from dealing with reality. B. It is a result of the past.

    1. Chief’s childhood Story
    2. McMurphy’s childhood Story II. Cartoons A. They show people as cartoons. B. They explain things that seem unreal.
    3. Nurse Ratched
    4. Fights in the ward C. They give a comical approach to terrible events.
    5. Swelling hands
    6. Truck imagery
    7. Sliding down wall III. Machines A. They show people as Machines B. They show the ward as a Machine
    8. Combine
    9. Invisible Mechanical devices within ward C. They give reasons for things that happen on the ward D. They are used because Chief Bromden understood machines better than people

    IV. Fog A. It is used as an escape from reality and not dealing with the issues at hand. B. It diminishes after Chief Bromden owns up to his existence. V. Glass A. It shows a breakthrough of things unseen. B. McMurphy owns up to reality.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
