songs: Why do I have so much trouble with song lyrics? More about my "lazy ear syndrome" - 02/20/08 09:51 AM
I was 9 years old when I started listening to the Beatles. My mom bought me some of their albums, and others I purchased with lawn-mowing money. I would study the lyrics as I played the records over and over again, since precision was important to me for some reason. Even difficult and intricate lyrics like this one from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" remain a part of my memory vault:
Picture yourself on a train in a station,With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,The girl with kaleidoscope eyes...
As a side note, yes, this song is … (28 comments)

songs: Do You Believe in Love? Summer of 1984 - 11/07/07 02:36 PM

I am approaching my 15-year college reunion, which means I have been out of high school nearly 20 years now. I graduated in 1988, which sometimes seems like a long time ago, and other times seems very near in my memory.
My final semester of high school, we went on a ski trip and one of my fondest memories was of re-enacting "Hanz and Franz" Pump You Up from SNL with my friends. We all had nicknames for this - Hanz, Franz, Mueller, LeManz, etc. Good, clean, goofy fun.
During that trip, I played the most successful practical joke that I … (122 comments)

songs: MORE song stuff - Am I hard of hearing? My Lazy Ear Syndrome - 10/06/07 01:08 AM
At the risk of being pigeonholed in a specific genre this week, I have another music topic that came to me last night. While I was writing my last post (Radio Ga Ga - The Jukebox of my Mind and Life (The Early Years)), I started thinking about song lyrics.
Over the years, I have probably been among the laziest music fans around. I don't typically take time to learn the actual lyrics to songs, and so I end up singing whatever I think they are saying without bothering to look it up. My wife has made fun of me for years for … (71 comments)
