It's MUSIC NIGHT, right?

[jojo54]

O.K. beings we're talking alot about music, let me throw this one out: what is your favorite track on an album/CD etc?

Mine is The Baby Tree from Blows Against The Empire by Jefferson Starship. This is how it goes:

There's an island way out in the sea
Where the babies they all grow on trees
And its jolly good fun To swing in the sun
But you gotta watch out if you sneeze-sneeze
You gotta watch out if you sneeze

Yeah you gotta watch out if you sneeze
For swingin' up there in the breeze
You're liable to cough
You might very well fall off
And tumble down flop on your knees-knees
Tumble down flop on your knees

And when the stormy winds wail
And the breezes blow high in a gale
There's a curious dropping and flopping and plopping
And fat little babies just hail-hail
Fat little babies just hail

And the babies lie there in a pile
And the grown-ups they come after awhile
And they always pass by
All the babies that cry
And take only babies that smile-smile
Take only babies that smile...
Even triplets and twins if they'll smile

1. BATE One of the greatest albums ever.

I was a big Airplane fanatic, and love Kantner. This was perhaps his greates achievement.

On the Music topic: I am watching the Hendrix Band of Gypsies documentary right now.

2. "Tô" by Tom Zé

"Tô"

Tô bem de baixo prá poder subir
Tô bem de cima prá poder cair
Tô dividindo prá poder sobrar
Disperdiçando prá poder faltar
Devagarinho prá poder caber
Bem de leve prá não perdoar
Tô estudando prá saber ignorar
Eu tô aqui comendo pra vomitar

Tô te explicando
Prá te confundir
Tô te confundindo
Prá te esclarecer
Tô iluminando
Pra te esclarecer
Tô iluminando
Prá poder cegar
Tô ficando cego
Prá poder guiar

Devagarinho prá poder rasgar
Olho fechado prá ver melhor
Com alegria prá poder chorar
Desesperado prá ter paciência
Carinhoso prá poder ferir
Lentamente prá não atrasar
Atrás da vida prá poder morrer
Eu tô me despedindo prá poder voltar

English translation:

"I’m"

I’m too low to get up
I’m too high to fall off
I’m too split up to be left over
Too wasted to be gone
Slowly so I can fit
Glancingly so I won’t forgive
I’m studying to know
how not to know
I’m eating so I can vomit

I’m making it clear
To confuse you
I’m confusing you
To make things clear
I’m illuminating
So I can blind
I going blind
So I can guide

Slowly so I can rip
Eyes shut to see you better
Happily so I can cry
Desperately to be patient
Slowly so I won’t be late
Running after life to be able to die
I’m saying goodbye
so I can come back
