“Burning Down the House” by Talking Heads

Watch out, you might get what you’re after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger

I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight, wait ’til the party’s over
Hold tight, we’re in for nasty weather
There has, got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here’s your ticket pack your bags
Time for jumpin’ overboard
Transportation isn’t here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin’ fire with fire, huah

All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred, sixty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes, I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
Go ahead

Burning down the house
My house, is out of the ordinary
That’s right, don’t want to hurt nobody
Some things, sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin’ yet
Everything’s stuck together
I don’t know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin’ fire with fire, huah

Yeah
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house

“I’m a Potato” by Devo

Supermarket flashbacks
Show arms and legs in plastic sacks
Fat men twelve bananas high
Die while all the women cry

Love-love gets sucked away
On big fat lips while people pray
Boy plus girl make mess out of sex
No babies come
What happens next
De-evolution self-execution no-solution
I’m a potato and I’m so hip
Teenage hoodlums stand in line
Donate blood to pay for crime
Butchers steal doctor’s tools
Sow pretty heads on dogs and mules
Hi-fi systems men in pairs
Tape bodies falling down the stairs
Father-son teams split the cost of nighttime girls but all is lost
To de-evolution self-execution
No-solution
I’m a spudman I got eyes all around
Martian feet turn dirt and stone
For buried treasure human bone
Madison men tattoo ads on
Ten year olds with sucker pads
Rockets rust attack decay things
Fall apart while spacemen play
Now daddy zero drops his brown
Godowngodowngodown
To de-evolution self-execution
No-solution
I’m a spudgun I’d like to shoot’em all!!

“Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)” from Man of La Mancha

DON QUIXOTE
Hear me now
Oh thou bleak and unbearable world,
Thou art base and debauched as can be;
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of La Mancha, þ
My destiny calls and I go,
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh whithersoever they blow.
Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I go!
SANCHO PANZA
I’m Sancho! Yes, I’m Sancho!
I’ll follow my master till the end.
I’ll tell all the world proudly
I’m his squire! I’m his friend!
DON QUIXOTE
Hear me, heathens and wizards
And serpents of sin!
All your dastardly doings are past,
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!
(Don Quixote and Sancho Panza mount their horses and set out along a road)
DON QUIXOTE
I am I, Don Quixote,
The Lord of la Mancha,
My destiny calls and I go,
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward,
Oh whithersoever they blow!
SANCHO
I’m Sancho! Yes, I’m Sancho!
I’ll follow my master till the end.
I’ll tell all the world proudly
I’m his squire! I’m his friend!
DON QUIXOTE, SANCHO
Whithersoever they blow,
Onward to glory I {we} go!

“5-1-5-0” by Dierks Bentley

Ever since I met you girl, you been on my brain
I can’t think of nothing else but you all night and day
It’s like I got a first class seat up on Ozzy’s train
It’s driving me insane

5-1-5-0, somebody call the po-po
I’m goin’ crazy, thinkin’ ‘bout you baby
5-1-5-0, just this side of loco
I’m goin’ crazy, think I love you baby

I gotta get your number girl, I gotta call you up
I gotta get you ridin’ shotgun in my truck
This little bit of you I’ve got, it ain’t good enough
Yeah, you got me all messed up

5-1-5-0, somebody call the po-po
I’m goin’ crazy, thinkin’ ‘bout you baby
5-1-5-0, just this side of loco
I’m goin’ crazy, think I love you baby

Cause I, ain’t never felt like this, no
And I, I just need one kiss, from you
And I’ll be good as new
If I don’t get some of your sweet lovin’ no tellin’ what I might do

5-1-5-0, somebody call the po-po
Think I’m losin’ my mind, girl
5-1-5-0, just this side of loco
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

5-1-5-0, somebody call the po-po
I’m goin’ crazy, thinkin’ ‘bout you baby
5-1-5-0, spinnin’ my head like a yo-yo
I’m goin’ crazy, think I love you baby

“You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette

I want you to know that I’m happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I’m sure she’d make a really excellent mother

‘Cause the love that you gave, that we made wasn’t able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me until you die, ’til you die?
But you’re still alive

And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I’m not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me,
Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

‘Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn’t able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me until you die, ’til you die?
But you’re still alive

And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

‘Cause the joke that you laid in the bed: that was me, and I’m not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
And you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it?

Well, I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

I am here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
