I'm Too Sexy for My Shirt

My headphones are on and plugged in. I have one of my long playlists on with the volume punched up to WOW. I think I am ready for what comes next. ...........................

Its been several minutes now and I am still waiting for the inspiration that usually comes to mind sooner than this.

I had a myriad of writing prompts on the tip of my brain not twenty minutes ago. Now they have retreated back into the shadows, the darker recesses, the back benches. All I have in mind now is a fuzzy screen with nothing on it. 

Hmm. ................. Okay, fuck it. Here is the one I have had in mind for a couple of days.

Song Lyrics

Along with the thousands and thousands of songs that have played through my mind over the years, I have definitely collected snippets of song lyrics I recollect for a variety of reasons. Some cause introspection. Some make me focus on the grander schemes of being human.. And some are just so good, I am amazed at the writing. But the ones that I remember instantly are usually the inane, silly, and funny lyrics.

The silly, just havin fun lyrics have been part of Music forever. From Spike Jones, a favorite of my father's, to "Purple People Eater" in the 1950s to "Hello Muddah, Hello Faduh in the 1960s; the list is endless. 

 Lately, I have been trying to tune out "I'm too sexy for my shirt", a line from "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred. I have never heard of this duo? And actually, I do not think I have ever heard the song from start to finish; as my first run through seemed totally new for me. I had definitely heard the lyric I am fixating on, but that would make sense since this post is about it.

This brings up another question for which I have a pre-recorded and pre-considered answer for. The lyric seems to fit rhythmically well into any song I choose. Just the right number of syllables, especially for a foot tapping tune.

With that said, I defy anyone to not tap their feet to this tune. 

Keep it 'tween the ditches .............................

It’s weird. Those are all lines from some off my favorite bands.
