Muppet N.A.M.B.L.A (Namblin')


why are there so many songs about rainbows
& who gives a fuck anyway
rainbows are stupid, they only remind me
that my life is sick with decay
And so you are stupid, you choose to believe it
I know we're all gonna die
we'll never find it, the Rainbow Connection
the sickly, the worthless & I

who said that "every wish would be heard & answered
when wished on the morning star"
some asshole thought of it

some sucker believed it
& look what it's done so far
and it's so pathetic, that you are pathetic
& it's all you aspire to be
you'll never find it, the rainbow connection
the homeless, the wealthy & me
all of us are gonna die
you could say nature's a facist

have you been half asleep
& have you heard voices
swimming around in your head
some say "i'm lucky!" & some say "I'm Happy!"
but most say "i'd rather be dead"
& I know i'm lazy and apathetic
sometimes that is all that I do
& i'll never find it, the rainbow connection
the leftover crizack & you

    This song goes along with Fifteen's "Rainbow Connection", it almost seems like an attack against the song...very fun.

    this song is fucking great.

    not only is it great, it's hilarious.

    first, they go for "the rainbow connection" which was covered by various (and mostly) country singers of the 50's, then, they manage to incorperate nambla (north american man/boy love association) into the title.

    not only is leftover crack wonderful, they keep a sense of humor mixed into their otherwise dreary view on the future.

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,

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.
