i think pat's getting the hang of this computer stuff..
this missive ended up in my inbox and unsettled my stuffed stomach:
> Been talking to Deirdre O'Donoghue, who put me on to Jimmy Webb's website.
> (Pause for humorous plays on words)
> On visiting, it turns out that Jim is running a survey among his visitors
> as to their top songs of all time. His plot is to come up with a Top 100 Tunes
> affair. Each visitor can vote for ten tunes.
> Now, at the moment, Jim is only displaying tunes that have amassed 5 votes
> or more. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of his tunes in there. No. 1 is,
> quite correctly, God Only Knows. Thing is, there are only 47 tunes up
> there that HAVE amassed five or more votes. I THINK that bottom of the list
> (with, presumably, 5 votes) is Your Piece Of Crap, sorry, Song by Elton John.
> So...uh...if we can mobilise just six jbc list fiends (and, of course,
> get the fuckers to agree on one song) we can get a Butch tune up there
> with all this Paul McCartney, Jim Webb, Brian Wilson, Ray Davies shit.
> Which would have a LOT of coke-addled rich middle-aged American hippies
> scratching their beautifully oiled heads.
> We need to tell them what tune to vote for, don't we?
> How about Cowgirl Fever?
> I mean, we're getting to close to Eric Cartman for Time Man Of The Year
> with that, I feel. (Fuck it, I don't care what tune it is, as long as
> they agree.....Water?)
> Go forth, Dave, and mess up the lives of Real Songwriting Lovers everywhere!
> It's (and this may come as a surprise...) www.jimmywebb.com
> Go get 'em!
>
> Yours megalomaniacally,
> Pat
> xxx
alright.. Water is the song, www.jimmywebb.com is the website.
feel free to round-out the 10 songs with 9 of your other JBC favorites.
this'll never work, but what the fuck!
