And we had one radio station and one television channel. No other choices. The top 40 was one of the extremely few things we got on time over there. Our movies were six months old by the time we got them. We watched Christmas shows of all our favorite series' in July. I used to sit there every Saturday afternoon, locked away in my room, jamming out to the songs, writing down the lyrics to the ones I was nuts about, and when the dedications came on, I was balling, full blown, no holds barred balling in the middle of my floor. I love your song dedications for tonight. Of course, DM's 'Blue Dress' is quite the perfect song for several lovely reasons. But I also love the other dedications you chose tonight. I know they each have special meaning. And some of them I get. I *really* get BB's and that one is as priceless as they come. Hahahaha. Excellent post, Madam Juniper. Now, if only I can get past that weird and still unconfirmed rumor that Kasey Casem was the original voice of Shaggy. Even if it is true, it is too random to grasp. Had you heard of this? posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.18.05 (9:57 pm) Oh, one more thing..... I think you should add a seperate section for dedications to be added by your loyal readers. A Juni dedication section.... I'd like to start with Milli Vanilli's 'Blame it on the rain' please. Yes! Hahahahahah! posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.18.05 (10:00 pm) Reply to: lindy Yes. I imagine something like the American Top 40 would be very important to people living overseas and missing home. I imagine even today, with acccess to all sorts of technology, programs such as this still provide a life-line for those who have to be far away. I love the image of you on the floor scrawling out lyrics. Priceless and somehow very telling. As for the dedications, as always, they are seeped in hidden meanings. (Ok, some of them aren't so hidden). But that's the whole point, no? And finally, as for Casey, according to this site http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-8114 he was in fact the voice of Shaggy. Ruh-Roh! :) j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.18.05 (10:01 pm) Reply to: lindy I'll do that... even though, just for the record, I hate you. *wink* posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.18.05 (10:01 pm) Reply to: lindy I'll do that... even though, just for the record, I hate you. *wink* posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.18.05 (10:41 pm) Reply to: juniperflux Hate me, Juni! Hate me! You know you love it. Every time I sing that song to you with adorationin my eyes, you secretly love it. Heh heh. Other dedications: A whole list to BerlinBear: Oklahoma T-r-o-u-b-l-e Method of modern love Fire in Cairo ABC... easy as 123 Respect and as a dare from Juni (*snicker): You're so vain For Billlyryan: Every Olivia Newton John song ever made Altricial: Sade's - It's never as good as the first time FinalyFree: God blessed Texas Abilene Amarillo by morning El Paso All my exes live in Texas Texas women don't stay lonely long For Farf: (Pat) Dud(e) looks like a lady posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (1:16 am) Reply to: lindy *sings* you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you... Nice one. Harsh, but fair. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (1:16 am) Great post juni. And thanks for the late-night dedication. Now, I shall have to go and find out what the song I got sent was. I've never heard of it. But I get the message nonetheless. Thanks. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (1:46 am) Two quick dedications: To Godsmack: Nobody knows the trouble I've seen (Louis Armstrong) To Lindy: Who Can you Trust? (Morcheeba) Still working on others. Back later. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (1:47 am) Reply to: lindy OK, I think I get most of them, but why Fire in Cairo? And why Oklahoma? Never even been there. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (2:29 am) OK, got more dedications: To TrekGuy: Food, Glorious Food To the Jongleur: Englishman in New York - Sting To Lindy and Juni together: Scorpio girls (Supergroove) And last but most definitely not least, to Juniperflux: Thank you for the music (Abba) and: Handbags and Gladrags (Stereophonics) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (2:36 am) Reply to: BerlinBear *giggle* I've waited my entire life for someone to dedicate and Abba song to me. :) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (2:38 am) Reply to: juniperflux and = an *sigh* Anyway, "conjunction junction" was part of the old "school house rock" cartoon series. A few years ago, some alternative bands remade the songs, some of which were quite good. The Better Than Ezra track was lovely. :) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (2:39 am) Reply to: BerlinBear Let me give you a hint about Lindy's dedications: They have nothing to do with geography. *wink* posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (2:58 am) Reply to: lindy Lindy: Good call on several of those! I noticed that a certain someone did not rate a dedication on your list. "most disappointing" j posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:09 am) Reply to: BerlinBear (Juni: Toldja it was harsh! My exact words! *looks around for shmoozing points from Mr. Bear...*) I am laughing my ehad off (in my ehad, of course, as it hurts too much to really do it at present)... that you actually plowed through the song list thinking of 'why this dedication?' - hahaha -ouch- hahahaha... and managed to come up with reasons specific to each song. Now, if *that* wasn't the biggest, most obvious would-be-Snooker-Champion hint I have ever heard, I don't know what is. (Another Juni note: *shakes head* 'School house Rock' isn't going to help him anymore than 'Conjunction junction' will, heh...) Mr. Bear, if you have music downloading capabilities, I'd say definITEly go find it. You will love it. Hahaha. The entire School house Rock collection ought to be dedicated to you. (Another Juni note: *whispers* pssssst, hey, sleepy sick person... he is more likely to get the comment if you respond to *him* - heh.) This has got to be the most ridiculous comment I have ever left. I thought 'Who can you trust' was an instrumental... since when did a song without words seem fitting for me? Lindy<--- not trustworthy. ;) posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:11 am) Oh wow. Apparently, the greater than and less than symbols get completely erased in comments... let me try it again... Lindy < - - - not trustworthy posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:12 am) Reply to: lindy Oh right... reply to HIM. I'm forever messing things like that up. Damn me. :) Thanks for the tip! :) As for Conjunction Junction ~ I was just giving him some tools to search, dorkgirl. :) j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:13 am) Reply to: BerlinBear According to Lindy, I actually have to reply to you in order for you to get this. Go figure. *Trying Again* ----- and = an *sigh* Anyway, "conjunction junction" was part of the old "school house rock" cartoon series. A few years ago, some alternative bands remade the songs, some of which were quite good. The Better Than Ezra track was lovely. :) posted by: chicalookate (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:36 am) I went to school with Casey Kasem's nephew... he was an ass, but that wasn't Casey's fault. I had a hard time w/the dedications... a bit to smaltzy for me. Of course that didn't stop me from getting a little teary eyed... My Dedications "Islands in the Stream" to Verlaine "Untouchable Face" by Ani DiFranco to old crushes I'll have to think on this some more. Great post. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:49 am) Juni: Yeah, I got it anyway, cos I was checking back. I will search for that song when I get a chance. Thanks for the extra info. posted by: shadowmusic (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:54 am) Welcome back! I used to listen to Casey way back when. Unfortunately, at this point whenever I think of Casey, I often think of Negativland's publicizing of recordings of Casey swearing during outtakes. Hmm... I'd dedicate "Jennifer Juniper" to *you*. Or maybe Siddal's "Oil Spills" or another one of your obscure favorites that Casey'd never have on his shows. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (3:56 am) Reply to: lindy The greater than and less signs only disappear if you use them around a word, because then the comments java thinks they're an html tag and doesn't allow them. I said it was "harsh but fair" which is very different from jsut harsh. As for the songs, way to confuse a bear. Do you mean that you just gave me a random list of songs to see what I'd make of it? Or something else? *has become very confused* And finally, as for Who Can You Trust, well, it's all in the title isn't it?!? posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (4:18 am) Reply to: shadowmusic Perfect! I might dedicate something by Rise and Fall of A Decade to you because, as I recall, I spent (or you spent) an obscene amount of money bidding on that disk before we joined forces to take over the world. Then again... "Strawberry Passion" and "Carolyn's Fingers" also come to mind. Either way, Casey would have to do some digging to find our songs, that is for sure. j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (4:28 am) Reply to: chicalookate Oh, I'm all about a bit of smaltz, Kate. :) I'm sorry Casey's nephew was a bit of a butt. Hopefully you gave him what for! *wink* Thanks for stopping by! j posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:03 am) Reply to: BerlinBear *Again wonders why someone is responding to comments instead of studying. * Do I have to pull a Farf and ignore you to get you to concentrate on your studies? *ponders how to get all of tblog to ignore Bear...* True, 'jsut harsh' *is* very different from 'harsh but fair' - different from 'just harsh' too. Hahaha. Okay. This has gotten ridiculous. You are corrupting me... or rather, I am allowing myself to be corrupted by you. *runs back into the forrest in search of simple and grammatically challenged roots...* As for the songs... Hahaha. It is so simple it is staring you in the face. Granted, perhaps your lack of familiarity with a couple of the songs has thrown you off, but... let's say that they stand together in a theme that is right up your alley. I don't know how much plainer I can speak without flat out telling you. Hahaha. Further hints... perhaps look up the lyrics to the ones you know and see if anything jumps out at you.... Theme song from Oklahoma, the musical is by... gosh, I don't know, Rogers and Hammerstein perhaps? T-r-o-u-b-l-e is by Travis Tritt, I think. Juni, correct me any time... Method of modern love - Hall and Oates... It's soooo obvious. I might be able to find another tune that would give it away... to everyone but you. Haha. *shakes ehad* Give up? posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:05 am) No, I do not give up. Give me time. I will look up the lyrics when my work is done. posted by: BerlinBear (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:06 am) Reply to: lindy D'oh, should have been a reply to you: No, I do not give up. Give me time. I will look up the lyrics when my work is done. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:14 am) *watches from the wings* This is fun. *giggle* posted by: altricial (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:58 am) Morning Has Broken, by the artist formerly known (well, I guess he was known as Cat Steven, so therefore, at the time the tune was released, was not therefore "formerly" known...) Oh screw it all. I like the song. posted by: altricial (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (6:06 am) Reply to: lindy I really, truly have no idea what to make of your dedication... *double checks lyrics* Nope. Clueless. Tom Petty's Refugee is more my style. I'd like to dedicate "J'taime Moi Non Plus" by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkinfor "all those crazy kids at tblog". posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (7:00 am) Reply to: altricial Yes. I figured it was released under the name Cat Stevens which was good enough for me. Plus, I can actually spell Cat Stevens... the other? Not so much. Thanks for the comment(s)! j posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (7:07 am) Reply to: altricial Hahaha. My, you really botched the Cat Stevens come back. Hahaha! Go Alt! Woo hoo! I do love ribbing you..... As for my particular choice for you, hahaha... ummm... You 'Goofball' ;) posted by: altricial (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (7:34 am) Reply to: lindy Oh, I didn't need the hint. Eh. Maybe I was taking you too seriously. I'll try to lighten up a little.... I still think Refugee is the proper one for that situation, and virtually all others. Oops. Forgot to lighten up... *goes off humming* "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family...." posted by: childish (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (9:54 am) reminds me of "DELILAH". she is so cheesy but i love her show. posted by: billlyryan (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:30 pm) I've been thinking about these song dedications... I've come up with two so far, but I've taken this "assignment" quite seriously! First of all, because there's an Alt shaped hole in heart, I would have to name at least ONE song for her: "Climb On (A back that's strong)" by Shawn Colvin. However, I can name at least 7 more for her. For Lindy, I thought of this song I heard once while I was sitting on a friend's rooftop: "Make Me a Pallet On Your Floor" by Mississippi John Hurt. There's so much more that I can think for so many people on here! I think for you Juni I'd have to pick this one song. I realise that it may a little too mainstream for you but Sarah Mclachlan sings this one song on "The Freedom Sessions" called "Ol 55" and the story behind it goes like this: "This was recorded well into the wee hours of morning after an evening of an immeasurable quantity of red wine. We were feeling festive and decided to record 'Ol 55' just for fun. We had never played the song together and most of the band had only a vague recollection of the song's existence. The few of us who knew the song were mouthing chord changes to each other." THAT reminds me of you Juni. The part of music that is remembered long after the record is played. The part where music feels more like a ministering or ushering of something greater. Like wee morning hours of chord changes and flow. posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (5:50 pm) Reply to: altricial Indeed. I had a bounce in my step and a giggle on my lips when that soulful song came to mind for you, Alt. Take it for the title, as that seems to be the thing these days. ;) posted by: altricial (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (6:33 pm) Reply to: lindy Damn. I was trying to plant the Barney earworm in your head.... posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (6:47 pm) Reply to: billlyryan Wow! How nice. I actually like some SM from time to time, and I really like the notion of knowing the bits and pieces that go into making the music that we hear. It's lovely... and I consider your dedication to be a great compliment. Thank you. posted by: FinalyFree (reply) post date: 05.19.05 (8:13 pm) Reply to: lindy Fine choices there linders...especailly "God Blessed Texas" by Little Texas--it sort of falls under the 'bad' country music category but I figure when the singers look as good as Little Texas does singing, it's all good! heh posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.20.05 (3:16 am) Reply to: altricial Fat chance. I'm immune to Barney. Have a lovely email somewhere... a soundbite of Barney singing the usual and four shots ringing from out of nowhere, finished off with a child's voice saying, 'Shut the F up!' Classic. Nice try! ;) posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 05.20.05 (3:18 am) Reply to: FinalyFree Hahaha. I *knew* you would dislike that choice based on your loathing of 'New country'.... hmmm..... Probably not the best time to break out Shania Twain or Tim McGraw, eh? Hee hee. |

I have something of a confession to make:
