Yes, but then Noooo!

"I Can't Go For That" - Hall & Oates (Cover by Nicki Bluhm & the Gamblers)



I love it when I'm introduced to something so fascinating as this awesome video that I have to show it off (even if over 1.5 million viewers watched it before me). Now normally I'm anti-cover, but I can't help but appreciate a version almost as good as the original (and one that I actually enjoy more than the original). This was like the time I saw the 5-on-1-guitar rendition of the now overplayed Gotye feat. Kimbra song, "Somebody That I Used to Know" except I doubt this song will flood the airwaves since it's ions old. But...they did bring back the ridiculous fashion sense of the 80's and 90's, so I can't be too sure this isn't going to happen. The only difference is that I'd embrace it because unlike clothes, music gets better with time.

On a different note, I found the title of this song fitting for what I just discovered a few days ago. As some of you may have noticed, Playlist went berserk! My patience has been tested many times, but this by far takes the cake! I log on only to discover that Playlist "changed" its ways and now the thing won't play unless you click on the link. Now, it's not a huge deal but it bothers me nonetheless because it breaks the flow that inspires this whole blog. And inspiration is the driving force behind keeping this blog alive. So, to reiterate, "No, I can't go for that!"

Lyrics:

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say, no go
I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice
I can go for just repeating
The same old lines
Use the body
Now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it
Now say, no go

I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, yeah

Ya I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Ya, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh ya

But I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, ya

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
