So…from last week, yet another couple of answers to the song meme.
Lyric #1:
1. Ramblin’ woman makes no change in me
I’m gonna ramble back to my used to becho: Hear me talkin’ to ya–I don’t bite my tongue
You want to be my woman, you got to fetch it with you when you come.
Actually, in this version, “woman” is changed to “man”, which is a little bit of a clue. The song? Hear Me Talkin’ to Ya; originally written by Louis Armstrong. The artist? Ma Rainey. Ma Rainey rocks.
Next song:
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stock is in the ground.
The song: Fruit Tree. The artist: the original writer, Nick Drake. Not everybody’s thing, I know, but I kind of like his songs.
Each time I read ‘memeage’, I parse it as ‘menage’…
Does this mean I need help?
Why, um, no…
Oh, good. I didn’t think so, but it never hurts to get an outside opinion.
