New JI Compilation (Please??)

[Oak Kitten]

Hey Janis,

Since you will not be touring next year, I thought you could help to satiate all the Rudies who will be going through withdrawal by producing a special compilation album. We need something to keep us amused. Here is my album concept. I am sure I probably missed a few titles, and that the other Rudies will fill them in.

Er... love the banjo...

[Dar]

What about Play Like A Girl?
'girls give birth and stuff, but they're not really tough enough'

I know I'm not the only one who finds that line HYSTERICAL.

Great album cover Oak!!

[Rkitko]

Don't forget "Nervous (http://www.janisian.com/lyrics/NervousRevFinal.pdf)"

[Oak Kitten]

Ah yes, that is the customized stroopwafel banjo created at the behest of Agnes, reprised from the "Janis in Gouda" thread.

Okay, we can add "Play Like A Girl" and "Nervous." I saw on the lyrics link there is a song called "Barbies Gone Bad." I suspect that one is also a candidate, though I am not familiar with it.

BARBIE’S GONE BAD


(Bill Lloyd/Janis Ian)

BARBIE GONE BAD
BARBIE GONE BAD

SHE WAS A GIRL WHO WAS LOVED
BY THE WORLD, AND SHE KNEW IT
SHE COULD GET A DATE EVERY NIGHT
AND STAY A STRAIGHT A STUDENT
THEN ONE DAY SHE REALIZED
EVERYBODY LIVES AND EVERYBODY DIES
SHE RAN OUT OF TRUTH
AND SHE RAN OUT OF LIES

NOW BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE THREW AWAY THE RULES
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE QUIT HER PRIVATE SCHOOL
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE REALLY HATES HER MOM AND DAD
BARBIE’S GONE BAD

ALL HER LITTLE FRIENDS
KNEW THEY ALWAYS COULD DEPEND ON BARBIE
SHE NEVER TOOK A DRINK, NEVER
THREW UP IN A SINK AT A PARTY
LIFE WAS ALWAYS SUGAR-COATED
‘TIL SOMETHING IN HER HEAD EXPLODED
NOW SHE’S LIKE A GUN
THAT’S LOCKED AND LOADED

BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE THREW AWAY THE RULES
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE QUIT HER PRIVATE SCHOOL
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE REALLY HATES HER MOM AND DAD
BARBIE’S GONE BAD

SHE LIKES BOYS NOW
SHE LIKES GIRLS NOW
SHE LIKES ME NOW
SHE LIKES ME

BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE THREW AWAY THE RULES
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE QUIT HER PRIVATE SCHOOL
BARBIE’S GONE BAD
SHE REALLY HATES HER MOM AND DAD
BARBIE’S GONE BAD

[SongDragon]

Haha! I remember reading that one! Almost forgot it!

Throw that onto the compilation, too! Lol.

I love our little compilation of laughs on a disc.

[Eva]

Ehm... has someone told Janis that the banjo is really not edible? :confused:

Eva

[AceOn6]

Actually, that specific model banjo was developed by the Army Research Labs as a musician's emergency kit. In addition to the stroopwafel, the musician may access the built in ice maker by playing the first 9 notes of the final section of Dueling Banjos.

[Dar]

Janis, Janis, Janis....
does this mean you are going to FINALLY record this? :D

Or have I just found the NEXT song to nag you about playing at a concert?
;)

[Eva]

This nagging is a serious thing. Don't underestimate it. I can never decide wich one I will nag Janis harder for... "Matthew" or "Searching for America". Decisions, decicions...

Eva (who is only slightly off-topic this time: these two songs are obviously not meant for this compilation)

[Dar]

[QUOTE=Eva]This nagging is a serious thing. Don't underestimate it. QUOTE]

ROFLMAO far be it from ME to underestimate nagging..........:D

[Kathleen Brogan]

Let's not forget "Got to Get Up" and "New York in the Springtime"

[DaveM]

Keep the banjo away from Dar. Repeat: keep the banjo away from Dar.

[Marcia Drummergal]

Keep the banjo away from Dar. Repeat: keep the banjo away from Dar.

UH OH. Too late! Did you see that rather large "bite mark?" Banjos don't usually have a hole in the center of them like guitars.....

Marcia ;)

[Oak Kitten]

Just to set the record straight, Dar doesn't "nag" she "wheedles." Wheedling is much more effective than nagging, ask any six-year-old. Nagging is for grown-ups, and it is usually related to making somone do stuff that isn't fun.

New Compilation??? Yes Please:D

Why thanks Oak. ;) That's really true in fact, I never try to convince folks to do something that won't be fun. That's the labrador retriever in me.

Keep the banjo away from Dar. Repeat: keep the banjo away from Dar.

Especially if there is any Amaretto around for dunking. :D
