Your “Thank God It’s” Friday Night Open Thread

Huzzah! It’s our first not-football weekend. Perhaps ‘huzzah’ isn’t the word that’s appropriate here. Perhaps we should do something about this circumstance. Maybe we should let our feelings be known-I know! Let’s #OccupyNFLHeadOffice! I can see it now…[screen goes all swirly]

Us: “WE WANT MORE FOOTBALL!”

Media: “More football means a lot more injuries to the players. Is that what you want?”

Us: [huddles together, whispers among ourselves, breaks out of huddle] “WE WANT LESS FOOTBALL! YEAH, THAT’S WHAT WE MEANT!”

Media: “So you want less games to watch?”

Us: “YES!, UH, GOD NO! [huddles together again, breaks out of huddle] WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE REALLY WANT. CAN WE GET SOME SORT OF RESET OVER HERE?”

Media: “Too Late!” [scribbles furiously about the NFL doing the best it can despite its fan-base being a bunch of goobers that don’t know what the hell they want, when in fact many are torn with respect to the game they love]

WE GOT GOLF, PEOPLES! The 2nd round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am is on. Junior ball pits #19 Dayton against 14-10 URI. #23 USC versus 13-11 ASU and 13-10 UCLA/#17 Arizony are also on the tube. Ice sports-wise we’re looking at LA/NYR, PIT/CAR, COL/DET, NASH/TB and STL/FLA. If there’s anything else out there worth a looky-loo spill in the comments below. TYPE LIKE YOU’VE ALWAYS TYPED BEFORE!

Hi, Jill!

This is also true: wifey won $500 in bar dollars for singing this on karaoke night at Mac’s Tavern (honest to God owned by Rob McIllheney and giant bird Kate Olsen) in 2012.

WCS

Follow up: no, Mac and Dee were not there that night. We still have (we guesstimate) around $150 left on our card.

Love Tracy Chapman.

Remember when she was in the original Spider-Man and took you right the fuck out of that movie?

When I was in grad school, a British colleague of mine remarked when I was playing this in my office, that, at some point in his past, a friend of his had broken up with the latter’s girlfriend. It was, as told, a difficult breakup. British colleague informs me, the night after said break-up happened, his mate, him, and others were at the pub, trying to console his mate. Apparently, the ex-girlfriend happened in. This song then came on the jukebox, and most of the bar was singing the chorus at the ex.

I felt like going back to Bowie (like 15-30% this is a repeat from way earlier, I know I considered it once)

David Bowie – Under Pressure

Aside from the Reservoir Dogs goodness, a great song in its own right.

Thank you, Glenn.

Much like the Jets…the spirit hasn’t been there since 1969.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have been shitty about “this is great”ing people all day, actually most days, sorry

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wonders if I “this is great” this post if it will make you feel like shit?

She’s worthy of a little deja vu.

And we certainly need some Yinzer rock.

Watch Dave Grohl go fucking nuts on this version of ‘New Day Rising’, a great song to set your alarm clock to when you absolutely positively have to get the fuck out of bed in the morning.

We need some Virginia rock here.

Well Kenny Loggins, you know what I meant

MOAR YES

I love the Mouse Rat tracks on Parks. I know it is stupid and a joke, but this cover is actually great

Mouse Rat – The way you look tonight

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s now how you fish.

Horatio Cornblower

Shut up Seamus, and let the girl do it her way!

Horatio Cornblower

I would offer this song as the theme of the Sex Bag, except as far as I know it doesn’t tell you how to get anal from your long-distance girlfriend.

A song was mentioned on the GTA: Vice City soundtrack. No clue why my mind went to this one out of the 100 songs on it

Yes – Owner of a lonely heart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsx3nGoKIN8

WCS

OH FUCK YES

The entire album (90125) crushes faces.

Senor Weaselo

As a matter of fact, THAT (not Sgt. Pepper) was the namesake of my not-Valentine’s concert which was now officially one year ago today! Sill asked for details when he realized it was way too far away.

Porky Prime

To me Vice City = A Flock of Seagulls

And to be honest, I’m not sure I ever actually played it.

WCS

I’ve been saying what Seamus just did for years. I’m glad someone else here realizes it:

theeWeeBabySeamus

I say a lot of stupid shit. You’re gonna have to be more specific.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

What did Seamus just do for years?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go away….’Batin’!!!!
Probably.

That which is heard cannot be unheard

Horatio Cornblower

Husker Du, minus the umlauts. Great band and the album I overplayed for three years.

Huey & the News was my joint when I was a kid.

Horatio Cornblower

Is the left one trying to escape?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

She’s leaning that way, so I would imagine so.

If you have some time; this is a really good story about a song going together.

I didn’t realize the theme went Hall and Oates. On board

Hall and Oates – Private Eyes

I got mocked for Third Eye Blind. Queen was fine though

I will never mock you for Third Eye Blind.

Moderation?
Srsly?
Can I approve my own comment…I wonder aloud?

theeWeeBabySeamus

The apparent answer is….NO!!!

WCS

For Seamus:

7/4/85

Now THAT is a Manhattan.

Beyonce in a giant champagne glass…worth the wait…

Yup. Worth it.

Goddamn me for liking Hall and Oates.
And for admitting as much publicly.

Screw that. Wifey and I saw Hall and Oates last summer. Even for a bunch of dudes in their 60s, they kicked ass.

Porky Prime

Dammit Seamus, what did I tell you? Never apologize. Best whiteboy groove of all time…

SEVERAL OF THE “DEEP CUTS” ROCK LIKE MOTHERFUCKERS.

Not sure about the yelling, but it felt good for a moment.

You make my dreams come true is the Duck Tales theme. Listen to it, and you won’t ever be able to separate the two of them.

New band for me. The Barbe-Q-Barbies. They appear to be Finnish.

DFO get together in Finland for Q-Stock, (whatever the hell THAT is), next year!

Cheeriest song about meth addiction ever.

True story, got that album as a gift when it came out. I played that song, which was the only one on the album I liked in the locker room of a hockey game, got harassed for bringing “Hanson – mmm bop” into the locker room for a year
