Choose as many as you like. IT sort of builds on the "5 things people don't know about me", but you can only describe yourself with song titles. They can be as obvious or subtle as you like. Wishful thinking rather than reality, is also fine.
Here are a few that are appropriate for the Dog.
"I Wanna Be Adored" - Stone Roses
"Be Gentle With Me" - The Boy Least Likely To
"Fire Eye'd Boy" - Broken Social Scene
"Soft Rock Star" - Metric
'This Charming Man" - The Smiths
"You Want To Join My Cult" - North Of America

I must've re-read Ken's list a dozen times to realize the stunning lack of one man in particular. I believe his name rhymes with Spruuuuuuuuuce.

Nicely done Holzman.
Btw Frag, "Deep Inside (Is Where I Need Riley)" just cracked top 20 on the Much Music video chart. You guys should be pleased. Holzman is drafting my royalty contract as we speak. I suggest once you guys start seeing some cash, you send a little this way for trademark usage, otherwise i may be far deeper inside Rocky von Rocksalot & the Fragtones than you guys originally planned.
Thought of a few more for me.
"How Can I Apply?" - Trash Can Sinatras
"Metal Baby" Teenage Fanclub
"New World Man" - Rush
"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers
"Game Of Pricks" - Guided By Voices

I think the best songtitle to describe myself is The Kinks' "Lola". Thats the tune many people sing to me by mistake.
"oh, theres a song with your name in it! Layla, la la la la Layla"
My boyfriend says the song to sum him up is APC "The Package"
haha. what a dork.

You mean you don't get seranaded with guys yelling "Layla! you got me on knees" and playing wicked air-guitar? Don't these guys know that Clapton wrote his best song just for you?  |

Oh, I do. And how. I especially like the boys who reword the "got me on my knees" in a more, ahem, smutty way. Thats the best. Poor Clapton.

Just for Frag ... Springsteen titles that have to do with me ... 1. Born to Run (duh!) 2. Born in the USA (yep, I sure was) 3. The Promised Land (the dogs on main street howl, and I still believe it's out there) 4. It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City (all the very worst things I've ever done have been in urban areas, maybe I need to move back to a small town) 5. Darkness on the Edge of Town (one of my favorite places, both metaphorically and literally) 6. The Ties That Bind (you can't escape ...) 7. Brilliant Disguise 8. I Wish I Were Blind (ever see the right person for you, but circumstances conspire against you being together ... um, well, me neither, but I bet this song describes it perfectly ... I bet it does) 9. Waiting On a Sunny Day 10. My City of Ruins That should take care of some Springsteen titles for ya to puzzle over Frag. Though looking at everything I've put up here, you'd proabably have the impression I'm not a real happy guy, with a bunch of issues. I guess you'd be write, then. Oh yeah, one more ... I'm the Greatest -- Ringo Star (written by John Lennon)I may be generally less than happy, and I've got more than my share of issues, but I've also got a pretty good sized ego. I rock! |

See, for you Kenny H, I could sing 'Whats the Frequency Kenneth'. *thinking of any other Ken songs* There aren't any other Kenneth songs. None. At least not that I know of. I'd love a girl to sing that to me, actually ... I guess I just generally would love to be involved in that stage of a love affair again. But like J.Geils said, "Love stinks. Yeah. Yeah." Hell, that should've been in my autobiographical titles, too. That's been like my theme song for the last year/year and a half. |
