Uncle Floyd

[visionshadows]

AHHH!

Julia! Chrissy!

He really DOES say Twinkle, twinkle Uncle Floyd!

OH MY GOD!

I can't believe that's the real lyric.

That makes it even BETTER!

No, no. It gets even better than Uncle Floyd. It's a damn good thing you can't really understand what he's saying on this song. I take it back. This is SO not about him and JC besides the one line. David's just gone crazy.

See:

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

CHORUS
Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-oo

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What's-a matter with you

C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-oo

Oh my dear sweet god. There are no words.

[re-reads and laughs insanely]

Give the man some coke, dammit!

He needs the drugs. Look! Look! It's so fucking obvious.

He NEEDS the drugs.

Seriously. Good LORD, don't let him write clean and sober.

It's the same thing as not letting JC and Justin get drunk and write together because then we get the godforsaken spoken word break in "Up Against the Wall".

Re:

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Yes, but in that case we got a song about JC being fucked up against a wall by [insert boyband member or rock star of your choice].

In Slip Away, we get a song about Bones and Oogie. And no fucking!

Need I say more?

Re:

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

Just out of curiosity, who the fuck are Bones and Oogie?

Re:

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Apparently there's some show called The Uncle Floyd Hour and Bones and Oogie are characters on the show.

[smacks forehead]

I know his daughter is only 22 months now and all, but really, does he need to write songs about freakin' kids shows?

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

Okay, it took me a while to actually determine if you were kidding or not.

The fact that you're not is just frightening.

[shoves mound of coke at david]

Snort, dammit, SNORT!

It's a sad, sad thing.

He used to be so damn good. :(

[julitabonita.livejournal.com]

holy shit. you guys. Bowie. Uncle Floyd. AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Re:

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

I know! It's so fantastic in that scary and not really good way!

But...

We heard it right.

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

It's sad that our hysteria was actually right. Sheesh.

Stupid!Sober!Bowie.

:)

Hehe!

He should never be sober.

And on another note, Waryne said to bring a towel. He's also currently pondering Spiderman making him gay while sitting on my couch getting the tongue slipped to him repeatedly by Iya. Damn whore of a dog.

Re:

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

Way ahead of him. Towel is in the bag.

Towel is the only fucking thing in the bag because - being a stupid girl - I can't decide what I want to wear. Like, ever.

Sheesh.

Re:

[raises hand]

I bought a new dress. Which I still might not wear because I can't decide. Ever. Plus, you know, depending on how hot it is, do I really want to wear a dress?

Re:

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

I have a "phobia" about wearing a skirt/dress when I'm drinking. Don't even ask.
