I know its a dubious idea that you might use music like this. That you could feel a song might relate directly to you. That it might describe your life, your personality, your relationship...that it might provide comfort or insight or whatever.

Still...

Not really what you're asking, but the Costa Mesa band Supernova once threatened to write a song called "My Name is Ned" about yours truly. Still wish they did!

Elton John wrote a song for me.

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim

Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of Truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere

You're the Smashing Pumpkins? *flees*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

aaaaaaw

― Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 06:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so vain.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

You're the Smashing Pumpkins?

i'd be more likely to be confused with stone temple pilots, methinks.

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 06:53 (twenty-one years ago)

no one? no one goes "o my god thats me" like so many people said dog couplands gen x stood for them?

does music then stand as it is but still reflect your personal experience as a "time piece"?

― thagregman, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

no one has sells like teenage spitit as a theme song?

― thagregman, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 09:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't believe even Ned coppped to avoid this.

― thagregman, Tuesday, 18 January 2005 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Neneh Cherry wrote a song about me. Tried to disguise it, mind.

― Buffalo Stan (Buffalo Stan), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

The theme from "Square Pegs."

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

but the Costa Mesa band Supernova

OOOOOO---RREEEEEEEE---OOOOOOOOOOO! WHERE'S THE MILK, MOM?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
Beauty and silence both run deep
And running like crazy while you are asleep

Chorus:
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to

Last Monday night I saw a fight
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
Tuesday asked me what was going on I said,
"Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn."

Repeat Chorus:

Hocus-pocus, Maladjusted
Don't you think my tears get rusted
Steady losing means you ain't using
What you really think is right

Repeat Chorus:

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.

agh. all of mine are so crassly emotional, in an uncomfortable way. this week, ill just say "spazz" by the elastik band.

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

My old band started to write a song about me, but as they worked on the lyrics the concept changed. We did have songs about three other band members. I know it's not quite what you're asking for, but hey.

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't believe even Ned coppped to avoid this.

Er?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

He's a poet, an' he's a picker,
He's a prophet, an' he's a pusher;
He's a pilgrim and a preacher,
And a problem when he's stoned.
He's a walkin' contradiction,
Partly truth and partly fiction;
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction,
On his lonely way back home.

"Ian is Going to New Zealand" - Bugs Eat Books

― Ian Moraine (Eastern Mantra), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Pulp's The Fear, unfortunately.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

There are some unflattering lyrics about me in some Kahoots songs. None of you know Kahoots, so I'm safe mentioning this. One of the songwriters tried to get me to be their manager by lying and saying he had just wrote a song called Maria.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Jad Fair has me coupled with Doris Day in "Living Life."

Mott (nee Hupple) de Terre

― mottdeterre (mottdeterre), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm, I don't know about now. I don't know if it's because I've felt kind of detached from music the past year or so but nothing is coming to mind. It's funny Alba mentions "The Fear" because the whole year after that song came out I listened to it all of the time and it would have described me very well.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

keith to thread. keith to thread. calling keith watson. arooga arooga.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

as for me: "empire state human" by the human league. yes.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh? Hello? What about me? Tom Baker, by the Human League then.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I have had songs written about me by the Bunnybrains, Scott Woods, and Rickie Lee Jones.

― Chuck E., Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey wait, I grabbed the Sola Monday album I have for work today and the sixth track on it is called "Ned." That'll do.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I should never have bought that waterbed.

Slick Nick stole a reindeer from the Zoo
Fell down my chimney with a keg of brew
Put my dog out in the cold
Ripped off the candy from my socks
Smokin' coal and drinkin' Scotch

Slick Nick you devil you (Devil you, devil you)
Slick Nick you devil you (Devil you, devil you)

Dressed in red and overweight boot
Stole the TV and the stereo
And the toys
The toys were broken too

You devil you
Slick Nick you devil you

I saw Slick Nick fall over the Christmas tree
He was a whole different man from
What mom and dad told me
Spillin' Jack Daniels all over the drapes
Spray-painting a bad finger over the fireplace
Tatoos on his arms and knees
I never thought Santa Claus would be such a sleaze, but...

Slick Nick you devil you...

Cussin' and coppin' and playin' punk-rock
And every once in a while you'd just scratch your jock
Hey! Slick Nick, where are my toys?
You went drinking with the boys
You put Mad Dog in my sock
I wanted candy
I wanted candy
I WANTED CANDY!
Oh, Oh! I thought you were my buddy and chum
But you're just a downtown bum
Instead of putting presents in front of my eyes
You just told me a bunch of lies...

Slick Nick you devil you...

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Got a lot of good things,
you wanna try.

― Trip Maker (Sean Witzman), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

My god, 10,000 demerits for me! I confused Daniel Johnston for Jad Fair! How is such a thing possible?
