Current mood:	silly
Current music:	Rockin' cool music list above!

Best V-day list so far!
I love music! I love it like I love orange juice in the mornings! And since today is the holiday celebrating Saint Valentine, or the Goddess Hera (or Juno, depending on the pantheon) bitch-queen of the Gods in Greece and Rome, I figured I'd display it here for all to see! Huzzah!

"You Can Leave Your Hat On" - Billie Holliday (because it's a freakin' hot song and since Saint Valentine was martyred by being beaten and decapitated for marrying couples when the Emperor Claudius II of Rome had forbidden marriage in order to swell the ranks of his army...Valentine couldn't leave his hat on, but Billie sure could! )

"Suzanne" - Weezer (I think anyone, Roman or otherwise, can appreciate this stirring song, popularized by two men and a monkey!)

"Oh! What a Night!" - Frankie Valli (Because if you can't celebrate a fabulous one-night stand on Valentines Day, when CAN you celebrate it???)

"I'm in Love with a Girl Named Spike" - Skankin' Pickle (just because it's an awesome song! Besides, I think Hera could've dug the nickname "Spike"...)

"99 Red Balloons" - Goldfinger (For the woman in my office whose massive red-and-pink balloon thing is blocking our fire escape...)

"Take Me Back" - The Atari's (Just for the lyrics "I'm sorry that I gave you that infection and said we had sex on the Love Connection." Those lyrics earn them a place in the all-time most amazing song hall of fame!)

"Polythene Pam" - The Beatles (Also for lyrical purposes, most notably these: "Well, you should see Polythene Pam, she's so good-looking but she looks like a man."...besides, I've seen some of the busts of Hera...she was definitely rather mannish...why do you think Zeus strayed so much? )

"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" - The Beatles (Because it is an awesome song, and because when Claudius banned marriage, Valentine married people where he could...the same went for that whole consummating thing...)

"Young James Dean" - Girlyman (Because it's about a woman falling for a Bond Girl...'nuff said!)

"If I ever Leave this World Alive" - Flogging Molly (Because it's sweet and fun and funny at the same time! And because those martyrs were probably hoping for something closer to that than what he got...)

"If I had $1,000,000" - BareNaked Ladies (Many in the Christian community tried to buy Valentine's way out of a death sentence...didn't work, but this is a wonderful song!)

"Eric the Half A Bee" - Monty Python's Flying Circus (Because St. Valentine is the patron saint of flowers, and because I love this hive employee-yee, bisected accidentally, one summer afternoon by me! )

"Subbaculcha" - The Pixies (Just for the lyrics: "I was looking handsome - she was looking like an erotic vulture." Huzzah!)

"Darling Loraine" - Paul Simon (Because she doesn't like the way he chews...and it's a glorious, glorious song! Why don't noisy eaters get more mention in love songs???)

"I Wanna Be Sedated" - The Ramones (Because that tends to be how I feel on this holiday )

Any other songs would be welcome additions to the list! Huzzah for music!
