What could you do in the back of a cab?

Slackity Slack Slack

This is too good not to draw extra attention to. More

You’re So Vain

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht More

But Was it Acceptable in the 80s?

It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time

He’s An Egg Man

Henry is not a drinker
He rarely takes a nip
He don’t need a napkin
‘Cause the things he eats don’t drip – blip!

Monday

One day I don’t like
One day I don’t like
One day I don’t like
Is a Monday Monday Monday Monday

– Lyrics from “Monday”, by Black Uhuru

I Won’t Sell Even if I Die

I won’t sell if I die
Buy stocks because they are investments
Don’t care if the market is good or bad
I won’t care what others say
Use intuition to buy stocks and make money
I won’t be excited unless my investment goes up multiple times
I won’t be excited unless my investment hits irrational highs
As stock investors, we must persist
Don’t be afraid of losing money or stock suspensions
There is a future for investing in stocks

– lyrics from song by Kaijie Gong, an IT engineer/Chinese trader on the Chinese domestic stock market (via Matthews Asia Weekly)

Surrender

Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don’t give yourself away

Whatever happened to all this season’s losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where’d they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

– Lyrics from “Surrender”, Cheap Trick

Top Trick

I’ma make these suckers recognize I ain’t playin’ hoe
If you violate off the top trick you gotta go
I den held in a lot of shit and I’m bout to flip
Now I think it’s time to show you bitches who you fuckin’ with
DJay that’s the name and I came to bring the pain
Ana on my chest got me bustin’ at you lemon lames
You ain’t know you fuckin’ with a street nigga
From the gutta pimp tight slash drug dealer
– Lyrics excerpted from “Whoop That Trick” (soundtrack to Hustle & Flow)

What Have You Done for Me Lately?

What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

– Lyrics excerpted from “What Have You Done for Me Lately,” Janet Jackson
