Venus
Recording Artist: Frankie Avalon 1959
Written by: Ed Marshall

Hey Venus oh Venus
Venus if you will
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you

Venus make her fair
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
And take the brightest stars up in the sky
And place them in her eyes for me

Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task

Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live.

Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask
Can't be too great a task

Venus, if you do
I promise that I always will be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall live.

Hey Venus oh Venus
Make my wish come true

3. Birthday

Although I don't know what environment a song about a love affair between a 50 year old man and a 5 year old girl would be appropriate in.

Birthday
Recording Artist: The Sugarcubes
Written by: Bjork Guðmundsdóttir

She lives in this house over there
Has her world outside it
Scrapples in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
She's five years old

Thread worms on a string
Keeps spiders in her pocket
Collects fly wings in a jar
Scrubs horse flies
And pinches them on a line

She has one friend, he lives next door
They're listenening to the weather
He knows how many freckles she's got
She scratches his beard

She's painting huge books
And glues them together
They saw a big raven
It glided down the sky
She touched it


Today is a birthday
They're smoking cigars
He's got a chain of flowers
And sows a bird in her knickers


They're smoking cigars
They lie in the bathtub
A chain of ... flowers

4. Great White ruined a Bottle Rockets song

Something tells me they no longer perform "The Bar's On Fire": Oh my God the bar's on fire, somebody save the beer!

5. Stay Down Where You Belong

Harry Ruby, ca. 1914:

Down below, down below
Caught the devil talking to his son
Who wanted to go up above, up above
He cried, "It's getting to warm for me down here and so,
I'm going up to Earth where I can have a little fun."
The devil slowly smiled and then he answered his son

*Chorus*
"Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong
To please their king, they've all gone out to war
And not one of them knows what he's fighting for
Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
Breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers of their brothers
You'll find more heat up there than there is down below"

"Kings up there, they don't care
For the mothers who must stay at home, their troubles to bear
Stay at home, don't you roam
Although it's warm down here, it's warmer up there
If you go way up there, my son, I know you'll be surprised
You'll find a lot of people who are not civilized"

*Chorus*
