Friday Random Ten - The “Name This Mix” Edition

Posted by terrance in memes, movies

It’s that time again. I’m not sure why I started doing this meme again every Friday, but it feels like a good idea lately; a nice, light way to start the last day of the week before getting into anything serious. The only problem is I’m running out of context-driven subtitles for these posts. So this one is officially “you name it.” Is there a context that fits all the songs? Or do they fit into some context of what’s been going on this week in the news?

I don’t know. I’m asking.

  1. Fire up the MP3 player
  2. Randomize
  3. Gimme ten

Here’s what I got.

  1. Boogie Oogie Oogie from the album “Greatest Disco Groups” by A Taste Of Honey
  2. Love Is a Stranger from the album “Ultimate Collection” by Eurythmics
  3. Looking for a New Love from the album “Sounds of the Eighties: Rockin’ 80’s” by Jody Watley
  4. Ode to Billy Joe by Bobby Gentry
  5. Do You Miss Me from the album “Fired Up!” by Jocelyn Enriquez
  6. I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday from the album “The Best of Morrissey” by Morrissey
  7. Alla That’s All Right, But from the album “Breaths” by Sweet Honey In The Rock
  8. Last Dance from the album “Divas Of Dance (Disco Nights Volume 1)” by Various Artists
  9. The Humpty Dance from the album “Old School Rap” by Digital Underground
  10. I’m Not Worried At All from the album “18″ by Moby

I’m not sure what to call it. But I do have a favorite line from one of the songs listed above: “Somebody come and carry me into a seven day kiss…” (That’ll have to wait until I get home, tho’.)

And after writing this post, I just let iTunes keep playing and the next song that came up was Someday from the album “No One Is Alone” by Laurie Beecham. The lyrics? Well, I can’t pick a favorite line, but right about now it seems appropriate to post the whole song.

SOMEDAY

Music by Alan Menken

Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

SOMEDAY

WHEN WE ARE WISER

WHEN THE WORLD’S OLDER

WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED

I PRAY

SOMEDAY WE MAY YET LIVE

TO LIVE AND LET LIVE

SOMEDAY

LIFE WILL BE FAIRER

NEED WILL BE RARER

GREED WILL NOT PAY

SOME SAY

THAT’S JUST A DREAM THAT WE’LL

NEVER FEEL

MAKE IT REAL

SOMEDAY

SOMEDAY

FEAR WON’T DIVIDE US

LIARS WON’T GUIDE US

MESSIAHS WILL STAY

GOD SPEED

THIS BRIGHT MILLENIUM

ON ITS WAY

LET IT COME

SOMEDAY

THERE ARE SOME DAYS DARK AND BITTER

SEEMS WE HAVEN’T GOT A PRAYER

BUT A PRAYER FOR SOMEDAY BETTER

IS THE ONE THING WE ALL SHARE

SOMEDAY

WHEN WE ARE WISER

WHEN THE WORLD’S OLDER

WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED

SOMEDAY

MANKIND WILL BE KINDER

JUSTICE BLINDER

SOMEDAY

OUR FIGHT WILL BE WON THEN

THAT BRIGHT AFTERNOON

TILL THEN

ON DAYS WHEN THE SUN IS GONE

WE’LL HANG ON

WISH UPON THE MOON

CHANGE WILL COME

ONE DAY

SOMEDAY

SOON.

Someday. Right?

    • Mark this day on your calendar: August 4, 2009. It may not all happen on that day, but it will mark 9 months since November 4, 2008: the day Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the presidential election. So, that  would be "zero day" for the Obama baby boom.

    • Well, I'd hope so. Anyone stupid or careless enough to put an uzi inthe hands of an eight-year-old ought to be charged with something. The D.A. looking into "whether anyone committed a reckless or wanton act" by allowing the child to fire a weapon. Oh, I'd say that qualifies as reckless and wanton. If it doesn't, then nothing does.

    • I admit it. My first thought when I saw this was, "Honest, officer. I don't know what happened. I totally meant to hit the brakes. I guess my foot just slipped."

    • I'm not saying its the kind of thing that anyone should base their vote on, but I gotta admire a campaign when I find out about the candidate's economic plan on an LGBT social network, and then get a link to read or download the entire plan on Scribd. It tells me that a campaign is making a special effort to reach out to people like me, and that the campaign is up to date on the latest ways to disseminate information.

    • If you haven't yet, take the time to stop by Box Turtle Bulletin, where they have been doing a great series of day-by-day posts on the Matthew Shepard murder. Today's post is a particularly heartbreaking one, about the moment ten years ago when Dennis and Judy Shepard walked into their son's intensive care room and saw him for the first time since the attack. It also links to the earlier posts in the series.

    • Sarah Palin says she's trying to keep Tina Fey. Huh? With a hit show, an Emmy win, and a $6 million book deal, I don't think Tina Fey needs Sarah Palin. In fact, she was doing fine even when Sarah Palin was "Sarah 'Who?'" to most of the country. But, maybe she can help Fey find her purse.

    • Its sounds like a joke, but it's true. You know the economy has gone South when folks around in Macon (or anywhere else in the south) are going to restaurants and not ordering sweet tea.

    • Big news. Clay Aiken is gay. Bigger news. So is Lindsey Lohan. Or, at least, she's been dating a woman "for a really long time." I don't know what counts as "a really long time" for Lohan. But kudos to Aiken, at least, for finally coming out. The closet is no place to raise a kid.
