"The Piano Man," "Mr. Bojangles," and "Unchained Melody." Oh, and Hendrix's "Manic Depression."

Not many five year olds like mustard, in my experience. I have most certainly had them with mustard in the ensuing 38 years.

Waltz
 

more more more

Waltz
 

Paticularly as covered by John Easdale of Dramarama.

Cold
 

Mercifully, no. But thanks for the update from everybody's favorite vast cultural wasteland.

Waltz
 

Is Kermit implying that he is neither a lover nor a dreamer?

Waltz
 

"Kiss from a Rose" and "Edelweiss." I think that's everything, unless you go country.

Waltz
 

Go country, baby.

Edelweiss????

And "Adore" by Prince is also waltz.

Cold
 

Fantastic show. The actress who played Fay Furillo (isn't she Mrs. Bochco?) was the corrupt mayor. I remember watching the first episode when the mean cop arrested a group of black gang members, and the arrestees broke into a rap song evocative of "Fight The Power" -- something about having all the power in the streets or something. It was like an updated "West Side Story."

Waltz
 

I am so going to regret this...

Why are we engaging in this waltz exercise?

Waltz
 

Apropos of nothing, isn't there a Richard Thompson song about waltzes?

ETA: Yes. "Waltzing's for Dreamers." Sweet and sad.

One step for aching
Two steps for breaking
Waltzing's for dreamers
And losers in love

Waltz
 

I'm getting MARRIED!

hah.

I'm just curious.

Waltz
 

Is that the guy who played John Boy Walton?

Oh, and I don't know.

Cold
 

It was a "holiday lunch". The holiday party was fully alcohol-fueled. This was just an add-on in light of the strike.

Waltz
 

Take this Waltz by Leonard Cohen. That is so obvious even I could get it!

Waltz
 

"Waltz No. 1" and "Waltz No. 2" off of Elliott Smith's XO. Good stuff.

Waltz
 

No. British folk musician -- Fairport Convention, solo, etc.

1952 Vincent Black Lightning. One of my favorite songs.

Waltz
 

Oooh! I just thought of two more:

Three times a Lady
Can I Have this Dance (for the rest of my life)

Waltz
 

Are you over hating everyone? I am. The whole world no longer sucks.

Waltz
 

More importantly, waltz a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

Waltz
 

Think weddings... think weddings...

Can I have this dance, for the rest of my life?

OK, someone else got it while I was thinking.

How about something quite the opposite:

Are you lonesome tonight?

Waltz
 

If you have a vinyl 45 of The Ramones' Comando and you play it at 33 speed, it sounds waltz like.

Fouuuuuuuuurthhhhhhhhh ruuuuuuule is: Eeeeeeeat koooooosher salaaaaaamiiiiiiiis

Waltz
 

I see your Take this Waltz and Raise it by a Tennessee Waltz.

Waltz
 

I think songs with "waltz" in the title are too easy and could be searched for.

I have not been able to locate a list online. Well, I found one, but it had stuff I didn't know on it.

Waltz
 

"Could I have this Dance" by Anne Murray.

ETA: STP. I should have known the Canadian would get it.

Waltz
 

I just want it noted for the record that I did not search for the Leonard Cohen song. It was in my head.

Too bad November Rain is not a waltz.

Waltz
 

Why? I am dumb again today.

I didn't think either of you searched for your offerings. It's just that the word "waltz" in the title kinda hints at the tempo of the song.

Waltz
 

"THe Whole World" by Outkast. And "Zebra" by the Magnetic Fields.

.Zebra

So we got married in Venice in June
So what?
We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon
So what?
and the rest of our lives
is one long honeymoon
well, that doesn't mean we're in love


If you really loved me
you'd buy me a beautiful pearl
but you've already bought me
all of the pearls in the world
so there's one thing I crave
when my days become ho-hum and blah
I want a zebra


We've got so many tchotchkes
we've practically emptied the Louvre
In most of our palaces
there's hardly room to manouvre
Well, I shan't go to Bali today
I must stay home and Hoovre
up the gold dust
That doesn't mean we're in love

If you really loved me
you'd buy me the Great Pyramid
Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did
But there's one thing I need
if you won't think I'm greedy, my deah
another zebra

Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra

Waltz
 

You're not dumb. I just wanted it noted for the record.

I believe "Open Arms" by Journey is also a waltz. And there is a Neil Diamond song I'm thinking of, but so far have not been able to put my finger on.

ETA: My Favorite Things is also a waltz. The Penises in Buttholes version is especially waltz-y.

Waltz
 

Remember that loberry sock read through all 200000 posts and decided who was most-everything? he picked someone for dumbest- right? anyone remember who?

Waltz
 

Pick up the "Live in Austin, TX" CD that came out a few months ago. Great live version. Plus, "Persuasion," which I think is beautiful.

It's a new series of CDs and DVDs put out by the Austin City Limits folks. I think they haven't released a lot of the performances so far on CD and DVD because of the number of rights involved, and I've noticed that most of the performances that have been released so far are from singer/songwriter types who generally play their own music. But they're releasing them quickly, so someone over at ACL has decided to fast-track the series. It didn't exist when I was at the festival in 2004.

The first set was Steve Earle, Steve Earle, Susan Tedeschi, Robert Earl Keen, and The Flatlanders. The second set was Lucinda Williams, Sun Volt and Richard Thompson. The third set (came out November 1) was Dwight Yoakam, John Hiatt, Eric Johnson and the Texas Tornados.

Johnny Cash came out two days ago.

ETA: Link to series website.

ETA2: The Stevie Ray Vaughn DVD called "Live from Austin, TX" is also from his ACL performance, but it's not part of the same series. You can get it, and all of the other ACL spun off CDs and DVDs off of the Waterloo Records* website. I really rather like this compilation CD.

I'm #1!

I've accepted my spinsterdom, where is my membership card
 

So, I got rid of some guy I'd been out with twice because I found out he had a second car (I'd only seen the tahoe to that point) and it was a cheesey sports car. I realized this means that I'm not desparately trying to find a mate while operating under the delusion that it's still possible to find someone who doesn't make me want to gag like all other women who hit 30. I've accepted the spinsterhood. I'm embracing my spinsterhood...and just in time for the holidays.

Happy Festivus

The anal sex is inherently waltz-y. They really should have called that movie "Last Waltz in Paris." Little known fact: the Band broke up because they'd had enough of fucking each other in the ass.

I've accepted my spinsterdom, where is my membership card
 

Was it a Corvette, the pinnacle of cheese?

I've accepted my spinsterdom, where is my membership card
 

Okay, maybe not.

Waltz
 

Elliot Smith, Waltz #2 -- one of the loveliest songs ever. It's the one that goes "I'm never going to know you now/but I'm going to love you anyhow"

Waltz
 

STP, fucker.

Waltz
 

Adds new meaning to the "take a load for free/take a load off fanny/and put the load right on me"

Poll, Best song with a xylophone in it
 

I guess mine is Haircut 100's "Love Plus One". I guess I'm more PLF than I care to admit.
