Having grandchildren means I get to hear songs I really don’t want to hear. And me having access to a blog means you get to hear the same things.
Of course, you could just skip the video, right? But if you did that, you might miss out on fully appreciating the art, the genius, of one of the greatest artists of our time. Let’s pick back up on that another tonight. Maybe tomorrow night, m’kay?
For now, I’ll hush and let you take over. It’s Thursday Night Open Thread. You get to run the show. You can post a video of something. You can tell a joke. You can give your thoughts on what’s been going on. You can, well, do most anything.
Who wants to start?
I hope that someone parodies that, it would be awesome.
RBG [to the Beatles “When I’m 64.”]
When I got older and lost my mind
Many years ago
You kept on sending sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, wanting more time
to keep votes from going to Six to three
I’ll stay Liberal to the core
You will still need me, you will still see me,
Until I’n a hundred and four.
Liberal votes will be few
But if you say the word
I could stay for you
I could be handy, bending the rules
to stop your rights being gone
You can ask for laws for me to set aside
contrary motions go for a ride
Doing the work of digging in the weeds
You know I know the score.
You will still need me, will never be free of me
Until I’m a hundred and four?
Every session you can count on my vote to stop the right
On that you shouldn’t fear
I will never cave
Grandstanding for the cause
I’ll always be your fave.
Send me some no-doze, prop me up fine
Always a lefty point of view
I’ll find precisely what I need to say
the Constitution, wasting away
to you I will answer, stay true to form
A Leftist forevermore
You will still need me, until you can replace me
When I’m a hundred and four.
Ho!
“I’d like to be
Up in D.C.
As an octogenarian Justice in a seat
I’d keep it warm
Which is the norm
For an octogenarian Justice in a seat.
We would shout
Go on about
The quarrels, the bias, and the rot
Oh what gall
For every liberal
Knowing that I’m packed, but the bench is not.
We’d do a song
And dance around
The plain intent
Which can’t be found
Oh, I’d like to be
Up in D.C.
As an octogenarian Justice in a seat.”
“Drama Queens”
they keep emotions and chanting
In their petty arguments
“What can we take?” they say
Just like good marionettes
Built-in dramedy
Over Gorsuch and Kennedy
And any time, now, Ginsburg’s vacant
(She’s in decline)
Cavalier and delicate
Bell-curve inadequate
Extraordinarily dense
They’re all Drama Queens
Gun-grabbers, Philistines
Fighting rights with their loser dreams
Guaranteed to close their minds
Every time
Restaurants that pay a price
Make you lose your appetite
Wanna cry?
In annoying confrontations
They never keep to sane address
In conversation
Just platitudes and barrenness
Send ’em all to China
(Don’t separate the minors)
Then again, treat them mentally
If you’re that way inclined
We withdrew naturally from Paris (naturally)
Because we couldn’t care less
They’re idiots, imprecise
They’re all Drama Queens
Gun-grabbers, Philistines
Fighting rights with their loser dreams
Guaranteed to close their minds
Every time
Democrats, they’re as silly and
Baleful as a pussy hat
Fomenting an overreaction
Temperamentally out of class
We absolutely drive them wild
They’re out to get you . . .
Decadent and never nice
On Facebook in real life
Wanna sigh
I like that song, it’s a happy song, a lot like this happy song….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlelJxqU1j0
Bet you’re wondering how they made that ain’t ya? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x2Z0bXikqI
Rafael Kubelik, one of the great conductors, was born June 29, 1914, in Bychory, Bohemia. He had a particular gift for conducting music by Dvorak and Smetana, who were also Bohemian by birth. Since we’re talking about happy music, here’s Rafael Kubelik, conducting Dvorak’s eighth symphony, one of the two happiest symphonies that I know (the other one is Mozart’s Symphony No. 34 in C, K. 338):

Good stuff! I am partial to Mozart and Hayden though.
While the song is equal parts noise and equal parts catchy enough tune to get stuck in your head, I find this version to be much better. Well… not so much version because it’s the same song. Seeing a bunch of kids really have fun with the song makes the song much more bearable.
