So this post didn’t get done in time. That means I get to play you a song that I’ve always loved but couldn’t figure out how I’d ever write a post to fit it. Dear friend, here’s hoping you can appreciate the fun of it if not love it as much as I do.
The song “Piss On the Wall” by The J.Geils Band is on their Freeze Frame album. (Do you remember albums??) I loved it the first time I heard it, played the snot out of it back then, and it sounded just as good in concert. I can’t not smile whenever I think of it because it always puts life in perspective for me in a facetious sort of way. I kinda get (and mostly agree with) the ‘philosophy’ of it.
Maybe someday I’ll figure out a way to get one of my other favorite J. Geils songs, “No Anchovies Please” into this blog.
Enjoy! I’ll meet you back here on Friday!
"Piss On The Wall" Now, some people think the world is what it ain't To some I'm a sinner, to others a saint Some folks say, the world ain't what it is All I know is I just got to take a wiz But where am I goin' and where have I been My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin Jumpin' out of planes for the thrill of it all Then I bounce right back and take a piss on the wall Politics, shmolitics, they oughta save their breath A mean streak, a blue streak, they sentence me to death Harangue me from a tree, twist and shout until I crawl Do the flip, do the flop, but piss on the wall Well, the Yanks hate the Reds and the Greeks hate the Turks I really hate to say it, but they're all a bunch of jerks Seems like everybody's shakin' 'cause the big one's 'bout to fall I'm just tryin' to hold it steady while I piss on the wall
