You Decided....
You'd think I would have learned my lesson by now. But no....I keep lettin' y'all choose those really important things in my life. You know, the name of my abode, now the theme song for Lana.
So, the winner is: They Got Lost, by They Might Be Giants. Suggested by the sweet? SarahK
Now, I didn't know the song, so I had to do some research. Damn. I was hoping for something Hot and Fast and Upbeat. But......you have spoken.
I figured if this is gonna be the song, I ought to "personalize" it a bit, so my changes are in italics under the original line.
Julie at the station says They'll be here any minute now
Tammi's on the phone cause she doesn't have a map in tow
But she's running out of records and her show is ending anyhow.
But she's running out of patience and her gas is sayin' low
They can hear her saying Their name on the car radio
She just dropped a call, her lack of direction now shows
But the signal keeps fading out no matter which way They go.
But the signal keeps fading out no matter which way she goes.
I heard They Might Be somewhere in this town
I heard she might be somewhere in this town
They Might Be Giants got lost driving around
The Road Warrior just got lost driving around
John said to John, I think we make a left at the light
She's got a problem, like she can't drive late at night
There should be a big crinkle, assuming this map is right
She gets a little sleepy, but it usually turns out alright
John looked over and said, Hey, no its not
She only did it once but hey, that was bad
It's a crumpled up wrapper from the fast food that we got
And now no one lets her forget and that makes her sad
I heard They Might Be somewhere in this town
I heard she might be somewhere in this town
They Might Be Giants got lost driving around
The Road Warrior just got lost driving around
Dan said to Hal, I see somebody walking this way
She needed gas, so she pulled in to a station downtown
So They rolled down the window and said, Hello. Hey excuse me, hey
A hooker and a john both thought there was a new girl runnin' 'round
Could you tell us where we are and the best way out of here
She got back into the car and hollard Bye Bye all Y'all
They could tell from his expression he had absolutely no idea
So she's back out on the road now, monstrously tall
I heard They Might Be somewhere near this town
I heard she might be somewhere in this town
They Might Be Giants got lost driving around
The Road Warrior just got lost driving around
Driving around
Driving Around
Driving around
Driving around
They're still driving around
She's still driving around
That was not as easy as I thought it would be. By the third verse that damn syntax was makin' me crazy. In fact, I keep catching myself talkin' in that rhythm! Ouch.
And while I was looking for that song, I came across THIS song. Figured I might know a person or two who might enjoy it.....
Oh I thought of a couple right away, but I don't want to be hunted down!
