people I'd rather be- frankenstein mix #1.5

[labellementeuse]

Remember The Frankenstein Meme? Right, so entry number 1.5! Now with album cover!





people I’d rather be

1. A song about touch.

Death Cab For Cutie, “We Looked Like Giants.”

When every Thursday,
I'd brave those mountain passes
and you'd skip your early classes
and we'd learn how our bodies worked

2. A song about taste.

Bic Runga, “Welcome to my Kitchen.”

Welcome to my kitchen,
I will just about be dishing
Up as much as you can take,
Scoop my heart onto a plate.

3. A song about sound.

Simon and Garfunkel… wait for it… “7 O’Clock News/Silent Night.”

Demonstrators were forcibly evicted from the hearings
when they began chanting anti-war slogans. Former Vice President
Richard Nixon says that unless there is a substantial increase
in the present war effort in Vietnam, the US should look forward
To five more years of war. In a speech before the convention
of the veterans of foreign wars in New York, Nixon also said
opposition to the war in this country is the greatest single
weapon working against the US.

4. A song about sight.

Kora, “Barely Can See.”

barely can see, barely can see
…a kiss from the sky, what do we do?

5. A song about smell.

Mr. Scruff, “Fish”

I expect you’d like to know about frogmen?
Yeah!
They live on fish, and catch them by diving
Onto them from a great height. Deeper and
Deeper and deeper and deeper, gliding down
Through the dark green water…
He can breath underwater because he has
Amphibious nostrils.

6. A song about a sixth sense.

Zed, “Oh! Daisy.”

Oh! Daisy, won’t you tell me my fortune
Living out my dreams of sunny days…

Bonus tracks: Barenaked Ladies, “It’s Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland) and The Animaniacs, “Be Careful What You Eat”. I was originally going to call this one technicolour childhood, with these two for touch and taste, “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” for sound, Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome” for sight, “The Pineapple Song” from the Cabaret soundtrack for smell and Belle and Sebastian’s “If You’re Feeling Sinister” for sixth sense. But it didn’t quite gel, so I abandoned it.


I have an assessment for every day of the week this week (and two on Friday) so I'm positively not around. Think of me in lots of agony. :P

Interesting meme

I only know "fish" but I can totally imagine. Fish is AWESOME.

Heh. I liked your "wait for it…" on #3. Made me giggle.
And then I took the song.

hee... Well, I was convinced that someone would post it, it being so obviously the right song for the challenge (Sound of Silence, of course); so I thought I'd be all original and upload something else. But NO, the big thing is apparently The Sound of Settling, which is a pretty awesome song indeed, although not actually about sound. :P Not that any of mine fit the challenge properly...
