I just couldn’t resist.
I was standing in the checkout line at Rite Aid when a blast from the past caught my eye and demanded that I purchase it, take it home, scan it in and then post it on the web so that all might see and understand my joy.
Damn, but I’ve missed these little buggers.
Oh, and here’s the answers to Sunday’s “Name That Tune” contest. Of course, since no one even really tried to guess the songs no one won the contest and I get to keep the bright yellow GeekBag I was going to give away to the winner.

I didn’t know any of the lyrics, but I bet if you had hummed a few bars of each one, I would have been the grand prize winner.
*L* Can I get a prize for trying, failing, but not cheating to find the answers?
And I’m the same as Jadedju – I am shocking with titles and names of bands, but sing me a song and I’ll recognise it immediately.
::mimicking whiny student::
but there were *so* many … it was *too hard* …
I LOVED the Garbage Pail Kids when I was younger, it was so much fun to go ‘ewwwwwww’ at all the nasty pictures. I used to run around the house chasing my sister making up stories as to why they were the way they were. Now, my sister won’t go near one, and she’s 23!!
OK:
1. I was too old for garbage pail kids.
2. I answered below, and then read this post with the answers. I’m so ashamed at some of the ones I missed: New Order and the Cure??? Hanging my head I tell you.
I didn’t answer because the only one I knew was the Lovecats, although I, too, must agree with Jadedju. I should have known the Siouxie Sioux and the Femmes. ::blush::
And: What, no Dead Milkmen?
It was fun to watch my kid flee in terror as I bopped around the house to the old mix tapes I made in high school, though.
“Muh-therrrr…. Please!”
I did the same thing Geekman, I couldn’t believe they were back.
Please, does anyone know the lyrics of the song HAVE IN MIND by Cetu Javu? I’m from Argentina and this song is played bye all DJ’s in my country and I’d like to sing along!!!!
PLEASE!!!! ANYONE SAVE ME!!! SEND THE LYRICS TO MY ADDRESS (at least the chorus)

NO PUEDO CREER QUE TODAVIA TOQUE ESA MUSICA EN LAS DISCOS ARGENTINAS!!!!
weak grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
look about the countryside
can’t perceive anything to hide
nobody knows what’s going on
living beings, where have you gone?
rivers from the mountainside
become polluted, don’t try to deny
remember the times when fish were alive
and realize what you need in life
weak grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
weak grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
doesn’t matter what you feel
as long as the others make a great deal
don’t wait so long to offer assistance
and don’t give up on your existence
step by step, we thus get nearer
but our goal must be clearer
when the sun will not rise
we have lost our paradise
weak, grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
weak, grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
look around you
is there anything you need?
if you follow our way
you’ll pass one day
therefore before the tragedy occurs
have in mind, and don’t forget
weak, grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
weak, grows your heart, patiently
before the tragedy, have in mind
This song is the GREATEST FOR ME. I FEEL ALIVE.
Este tema es lo mas grande que hay!!!!!!
