A group of BNL songs - Lord Aries Greymon - 06-08-2010
Allright, I read the Vodka song and had to bring up Alcohol by Bare Naked ladies, then thought, Ya know, they have other songs too, ...
4 songs included here. 3 Power, 4 indeterminate
I'll post You-tube links as well, since that seems to be the thing to do now. No promises on them being any good, they won't play right for me.
Alcohol by the
Bare Naked Ladies
Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Forget the caffe latte,
screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?
I really have no idea what this one would do, Save maybe summon a whole
freaking bar.
Actually, scratch that, I know what it'll do. It'll get his mage-gift
Drunk. Not Doug, just the mage-gift. What potentially delightful havock.

Be my Yoko Ono by the Bare Naked Ladies
If there's someone you can live without,
then do so.
And if there's someone you can just shove out;
do so.
[Chorus]
You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my,
Be my Yoko Ono.
Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove.
Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain.
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.
[Chorus]
Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun.
Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings
Aieee!
I know that when I say this,
I may be stepping on pins and needles;
But I don't like all these people
slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.
(Don't blame it on Yokey)
if I was John and you were Yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius,
just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.
(Hit it)
[Chorus]
Power would as a side effect render poor Doug into a look-alike of John Lennon, and someone else into Yoko Ono.
To be honest, I can't see any truly good effect to this one, other than as a fanatic's wet dream made real.
However, it just might let Doug write his own songs, or the Yoko alike to write them.

If
I Had $1000000 (Maybe we could put a little tiny fridge in there
somwhere.)
We could just go up and hang out. (Open the fridge and

sausages and things.) Mmmm. (They have

I'd
be rich.
Possibly a song that normally backfires, from, say, not enough mana. He gets Monopoly money. Or, the stated 10 million Dollars in, oh, Australian or Canadian rather than the (I think) usually stronger USA. (I'm not good with money, so forgive me if I was just insulting)
Most assuredly not 10 million worth of Local currency, which, depending on where he's at, could be livestock.
Or, for giggles, it makes a simulacra of Nabiki Tendo

The Ninjas by the Bare Naked Ladies
I woke up this morning and everything was
different
Something was strange in the air
I woke up this morning and everything was different
I knew that the ninjas had been there
I looked all around my bedroom, underneath the dresser
Behind the bed, but nothing could be found
There was nothing left behind them, nowhere that I could find them
No fingerprints or crumbs on the ground
The ninjas are deadly and silent
They're also unspeakably violent
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
And sometimes they vacation in Ireland
The ninjas are deadly and silent
They're also unspeakably violent
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
And if you tear off their masks they'll be smiling
No Clue here, as the song implies the Ninja have allready vacated the premisis.

Quote:If I had 10,000,000 Dollars by the Bare Naked Ladies$1,000,000, not $10,000,000... and, with the relative purchasing power of the dollar having changed since the song was written, the lyrics have been updated from that first-album version you posted. (Anybody know how to save the audio tracks http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/concerts/20100414baren]linked from this page?)
And, since BNL's a Canadian group, it'd be in Canadian dollars (which are currently close to on par with US dollars).
