GC Song Dedications

[Lil' Hannah]

For my girls Geeky Penguin and ADPiQTMel who are thinking about coming out to DC to further their studies - "Washington, D.C." by the Magnetic Fields

W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
Washington, D.C.
It's paradise to me
It's not because it is the grand old seat
Of precious freedom and democracy
No, no, no
It's not the greenery turning gold in fall
The scenery circling them all
It's just that's where my baby lives
That's all.
Washington D.C.!
It's the greatest place to be
It's not the cherries everywhere in bloom
It's not the way they put folks on the moon
No, no, no
It's not the spectacles and pagaent tree
The thousand things you've got to see
It's just that's where my baby waits for me
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.!
Washington, D.C.!
It fits me to a T
It's not the people doing something real
It's not the way the springtime makes you feel
No, no, no
It ain't no famous name on a golden plaque
That keeps me that makes me ride on railroad track
It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back

[KSig RC]

In honor of my impending trip to boston in 2 weeks for alumni weekend (and the fact that work clearance finally came through, jesus tittyf-ing christ), two songs:

-"Brighton Memories" by the Allstonians

-"Mr. Brightside" by the Killers

oh boy

[lifesaver]

I dont really have anyone to dedicate this song to. I just think it rocks.

Celia Cruz - Guantanamera

Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera
Guajira Guantanamera

Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas.
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas.
Y antes de morir yo quiero
cantar mis versos del alma.

Guantanamera ....

Cultivo una rosa blanca
En junio como en enero.
Cultivo una rosa blanca
En junio como en enero.
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca.

Guantanamera ....

Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido.
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido.
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo.

Guantanamera ....

[33girl]

Damn dude, talk about kicking it old school. I thought I was the only person under 50 who knew that song.

[lifesaver]

Since we kickin' it old school, I gotta throw in my boy Lou Rawls. At the time of the breakup, this was dedicated to my ex.


You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else, no-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one else

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

You're gonna, You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gone
I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lovin....

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

My mom loves lou rawls and at my graduation party she had the band do this song and she tried singing along...it was amusing.

[ISUKappa]

You know, nobody writes gunfighter ballads anymore. It's a shame.

EL PASO
Marty Robbins

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain I could tell

One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved

So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

Just for a moment I stood there In silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride
Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Everything's gone; in life nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death

I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's Cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Felina I go

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door

Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride

But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

From out of nowhere Felina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss, then Felina good-bye

Okay, so nobody writes western gunfighter ballads anymore.

You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man) - Loretta Lynn

You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me any more, and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him, oh but I don't think you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Women like you, they're a dime a dozen
You can buy them anywhere
For you to have him, I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here

It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

Sometimes a man's caught looking at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you, but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where that leave's you, ah but I know where I stand
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man

[Optimist Prime]

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
Totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lump’s pajamas
She totally confused all the passing pihranas

She’s lump, she’s lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she’s lump, she’s lump
She might be dead

Lump lingered last in line for brains
And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is lump fast asleep or rockin’ out with the band?

She’s lump, she’s lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she’s lump, she’s lump
She might be dead

Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She spent her twenties between the sheets
Life limped along at sub-sonic speeds

She’s lump, she’s lump
She’s in my head
She’s lump, she’s lump, she’s lump
She might be dead

Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?

I'd like to dedicate "Another One Bites the Dust" to BobbythDon!

...but that's what Monday Night Football will do to you!

Worst Hangover Ever by the Offspring

ballroom scene, but the fire underneath.
gonna eat you alive,
gonna bring you to you're knees.
went out drinking late last night,
i had a blast.
but now the morning light has come
and kicked my ass.
i've got the worst hangover ever
i'm crawling to the bathroom again
it hurts so bad that i'm never gonna drink again
and by my seventh shot i was invincible
i would have never thought i'd be this miserable
i've got the worst hangover ever
i'm rolling back and forth on the bed
i'm worked so bad that i'm never gonna drink again
won't someone just kill me?
let me out of my misery
i'm making deals with god
i'll do anything
make it stop please!
make it stop please!
make it stop please!
make it stop please!
i've got the worst hangover ever
i'm crawling to the bathroom again
it hurts so bad that i'm never gonna drink again
i'll probably never drink again
i may not ever drink again
at least not til next weekend
i'm never gonna drink again
