Poetry / Lyrics: Skanks

Title: Skanks
Genre: poetry, song lyrics
Theme: nightclub shenanigans, sex
Comments: After being ditched by a previous group at the Dome, friends and I moved to the Attic (right above the Dome and plays a different kind of music and has live bands). Ryan and James were standing around the couch where Robert, I and Sean were on, and Robert asked Ryan something, and Ryan pointed at James and said "well, breeder" and then at me and Sean, "Skanks". Sean and I were like "cool, we're skanks."

This really ought to be a song, and I know it would've made for a pretty awesome one if I had any song-writing capability, but as it happens, I score nil in that department, so blah. Anything in brackets would be spoken. It should be rather radio-friendly - if dirty slutty chavunist hiphop songs can make it on the airwaves, this should be able to XD

Lyrics: Boy, You'll Want A Woman Soon

Title: Boy, You'll Want A Woman Soon
Genre: Song re-write
Theme: Growing up
Comments: Neil Diamond's Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon was covered by Urge Overkill for the Pulp Fiction movie, and while I adore the Urge Overkill cover (it's got such great music), the lyrics really really really aggravate me. The relationship propoganda of "when you grow up you need a partner", the idea of a man getting all emo because his girlfriend's family doesn't approve of him (there's probably a reason, dammit), and the general tone of "please be with me" annoys me a great deal.

So, I re-wrote the lyrics. Obviously, the song is directed to all young straight males out there, and also to girls too. Please, girls and boys, grow the hell up before embarking on a relationship. And guys, if I'm dancing in front of you, don't assume I'm dancing with you and try to stop me from my groove! *mad*
