I realized that I HATE the song that NPR plays along with
the Art&Seek spot. I don’t know what it is, but it’s horrible and annoying.
Especially the end that goes “Woooo” “Woooooo”. Gag me.
Nyquil now just makes Quil. It’s basically a sleep drink
without all the stuffy, aching, fever stuff. ZzzQuil!!! Be honest, you need to sleep
and don’t feel like chugging down vodka, have some ZzzQuil!
I was behind a cop in line at Starbucks and asked him what
the green epaulets were about on his shoulder. Apparently, green = 911 response
guys and red = traffic cops. So if you get pulled over by a guy with red lines
on his shoulders, you’re hosed. Green? You might have a chance. Nice guy. Free
coffee and he still tipped a buck and waited in line like the rest of us.
Ford Prefect came by my cube and taught me how to find
really cool weather stuff. More interesting though was that I learned his two brothers
were Prefects AND Head Boys! Not so much for Ford… he wasn’t even a Prefect.
Nor was he familiar with “Hitchhiker's Guide” because he was too busy making out
with some bird to watch the BBC version. He is fantastic with voices (Kennedy and
Sean Connery) and started calling me MoneyPenny. So he is forgiven.
Finally… I now have “Candy”.I can say with absolute honesty that I did not steal it. Nor did I ask
it to be downloaded illegally. And I WILL buy the single legally when it comes
out in the USA as well as purchase the double, super, extra filled album from
RW’s website. Terribly sorry to the
person who allegedly downloaded it and got a whole bunch of malware and
viruses.
On a typical Wednesday, you would come to my blog and find a wrap up of last nights SYTYCD. I would be commenting on the lack of energy during the Nutcracker Suite ballet routine, or the OMFBALLS that number with the two guys and the music from District 13 which was striking!
But no.
Instead, I am completely frazzled because for some RIDICULOUS reason, iTunes USA does not have the new Robbie Williams single, "Candy", available for purchase! WHAT THE FRAK!?!?! COME ON! Argentina can get it. Vietnam can purchase, no problem. LAOS and FRAKING Brunei can get this FRAKING SONG AND I CAN'T!!!>?!?! You know, Cuba and North Korea are the only two countries that don't sell coca-cola... BUT I BET THEY COULD BUY THIS SONG!
You can get THIS song on iTunes, but not Robbie Williams "Candy"?!?!
This is BULLShizz.
See RW sticking out his tongue here? That's pretty much what it feels like. "Hey G, you can't legally buy my new single. You'll have to wait for the album in November. HAHAHAHAHA"
You're kind of forcing me to get your song illegally Rob, do you realize this?
If the YouTube to Mp3 converter site had not been pulled, I would have already done it. As it stands, I have to wait for someone to upload it. I'm not saying I'll steal it... but it's that or I have to wait until the full album is available for purchase.
You know me, (or maybe you don't - so go with me on this,) I love Robbie Williams. I really do. He's my Elvis. My Beatles. (Insert your very important person here - it could even be this guy.)
Smoochie boochiums Mister Gibb!
I love Robbie. I have all his albums, even the imports. I have his DVDs. I have books about him, I flew to Amsterdam to see him in concert. I had a poster over my bed of the Robster during COLLEGE! I do not believe the boyfriends I had during this period liked it very much, but I didn't care. I.... HEART.... RW! (updated: just remember that I had the poster on the wall of my closet through the first year of my marriage.)
Too make a long story short (too late) back in 2003 or so I had the amazing opportunity to meet him in person at a radio station interview/performance. He won't remember meeting me of course; he was there in all his Rob-Glory, taking photos, signing autographs, kissing the girls - this was pre-wife of course - and yes, I got one of those kisses. Even more awesome is that Hubster was overseas fighting in that little Iraq thingy so it TRULY made my day. (Hubster has since gotten over it... I think... how can you turn down a kiss from THIS guy?)
Amiright?!?
So imagine my SQUEEEEEEE when I heard he's releasing a new album!
Here's the video for the first single.
First listen: Great beat and bouncy. Oh, I want to work out to this one! I want to dance to it. I WANT TO BUY IT NOW AND LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER! Second time: Trying to get the chorus down. Hey Ho. Here's she goes. either a little too high or something blow no self esteem and vertigo (?) and she thinks she's a pansy (?) Hey Ho. Here we go. a little too loud or a little too slow? there's a hurricane in the back of her nose and She thinks she's made of candy (?) Three times a charm! You gotta love a song with brass. I'm so self-obsessed I think he's singing about me and I'm the girl he's angel shadowing. *sigh* Any whooooo, here's what I'm pretty sure the lyrics are:
Candy - Robbie Williams, lyrics
I was there to witness
Candice's inner princess
She wants the boys to notice
Her rainbows and ponies
She was educated
But could not count to ten
Now she got lots of different horses
By lots of different men and I say
Liberate your
sons and daughters
the push is high but
in the hole there’s water
You can get some
When their given
Nothing’s sacred
but it’s a livin’
CHORUS
Hey Ho. Here she go. Either a little too high or a little too low Got No self esteem and vertigo Cause she thinks she's made of candy. Hey Ho. Here she go. a little too loud or a little too close Got a hurricane in the back of her throat and
She thinks she's made of candy
Ring a ring a roses
Whoever gets the closest
She comes and she goes
As the war of the roses
Mother was a victim
Father beat the system
By moving bricks to Brixton
And learning how to fix them
Liberate your
sons and daughters
the push is high
but in the hole there’s water
as you wish
you’ll be the (unknown)
if it don’t feel good
what are you doing it for
now tell me
CHORUS
(repeat)
'Take The Crown' will be released on November 5th. * 'I' before 'E' except after 'C' ... and apparently 'H'.
