The fifteen songs my $39 mp3 player will play me, out of the 500 songs saved to selfsame player. Ver. guess-from-the-lyrics-what they are.
There's a definite, um. Theme. Left to be identified are two non-Regina Spektor tracks and three Regina Spektor tracks, thanks to my very discerning tiny mp3 player.
*
1.been stuck in airports, terrorized, sent to meetings hypnotized, overexposed, commercialized (Traveling Wilburys' "Handle With Care" as sung by Jenny Lewis, thx

sloganeer)
2. let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy, I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys (More Regina Spektor, "Folding Chair")

arglefraster!)
4. but now the fields are all four lanes, and the moon's not just a name, are you more amazed at how things change or how they stay the same? (Cheryl Wheeler's sniffly "75 Septembers")
5.oh little bag of cocaine, oh little bag of cocaine, oh who's the girl wearing my dress (More Regina Spektor, "Hotel Song," as per

8.he steps right into somebody's fat loogie and everyone who sees him says "ew" (
_swallow correctly located "The Ghost of Corporate Future," yet another Regina Spektor song.)
9.lately I've been thinking about combustication as a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D (Is "Pardon Me" by Incubus, go team
sloganeer)
10. they'll grow right through if I don't watch it, they'll grow right through even if I watch it and a sunset wouldn't save me now (And yet MORE Regina Spektor, "Baobabs")

runpunkrun)
13.I bang my own drum, some think it's noise, I think it's pretty! (As
marinwood correctly stated, The Divine Ms. Gloria Gaynor sings "I Am What I Am" as part of a gay pride mix that samples, among other things, the Northern Exposure theme song. Faaaahhbulous!)
