How To Plan A Weird Birthday Party





It was a Sunday night and the group was plotting an evil scheme. A friend's 30th birthday was coming up and we could not let this pass without some unforgettable incident. I forget the exact restaurant where we were in Richmond but it was March 1996 if I recall.

Plan A

have a cop come , read him his rights, handcuff him and start stripping. Of course the cop was going to be a guy. Then someone objected because knowing Anthony like we do , the cop will likely be punched.  On to


Plan B

We will get Dana  in a Marilyn Monroe dress and sing Happy Birthday Mr President of the softball league just like what happened to JFK. That was nixed. We decided to go the other way.


Well it's a good thing we have video of Plan C.

Which cheery sounding songs are actually disturbing when you listen to the lyrics?

https://qr.ae/TqMI1d



  • The Lights of LA County by Lyle Lovett. After having the CD for 15 years I head a few words that didn’t make sense in context then I realized I was the one who got the context song. Listen to it and you will get caught up in it’s playfulness , optimism and joy. And like me you might not pay attention to the lyrics.
  • Cold Ethyl by Alice Cooper . He doesn’t really try to hide the meaning or anything but it is a subject I doubt anyone of us will be comfortable as a song topic. Hence : shock rock.
  • Everyone’s Gone To The Movies by Steely Dan. Actually I wonder if the infamous Different Strokes episode titled The Bicycle Man was patterned after this song. Mr. LaPage will forever be a code name among those who I define as hip.

Note I never said exactly what was those disturbing topics were and please feel free to listen to the songs and discover yourself.
