Two Dogs on the Floor

I took this picture of the boys while we were down at our condo in Myrtle Beach recently. I immediately had this song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young come to mind. (opens in another window).....Lyrics here.

"With two cats in the yard" of course because "With two dogs on the floor".....

So here, as I tend to do, is my version of the lyrics....

Our condo is a very, very, very fine condo

With two dogs on the floor

Why do they seem so bored

Now everything is hairy cause of them

I'll sweep the floor

You put away the chew toys from today

Staring at the dogs for hours and hours while I listen to them bark

Every noise they hear, means a reply they must say

Our condo is a very, very, very fine condo

With two dogs on the floor

Life is always good

And everything is better 'cause of them

The Fool on the Hill

I saw this picture and I immediately thought of the Beatles song, The Fool on the Hill . (Listen here )

As I have done a few times in the past, I made up my own version of the lyrics. (My apologies to John and Paul!)

Here they are:

Day after day, alone on the hill

The dog with the short legs is keeping perfectly still

But everyone wants to pet him

They can see he's not "just  a dog"

And he never gives an wag

But the dog on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the squirrels spinning round

Well on the way, nose to the wind

The dog of a thousand sounds is barking perfectly loud

But everybody hears him

and the sounds that he makes

And he never seems to notice

But the dog on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the squirrels spinning round

And everyone seems to like him

They can tell what he wants to do

And he never shows he cares

But the dog on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the squirrels spinning round

He never listens to them

He knows they want him inside

They don't like him barking

But the dog on the hill

Sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head

See the squirrels spinning round

Something Evil's Lurking in the Dark!

Darkness falls across the land

The midnight hour is close at hand

Creatures crawl in search of blood

To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood

And whosoever shall be found

Without the soul for getting down

Must stand and face the hounds of hell !!!!

Of course full credit for my title and text go to the inimitable Michael Jackson!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'AWL!!!!

In My Mind....

.....I'm gone to Carolina!

One of my very favorite James Taylor songs is Carolina in My Mind. And while I don't think James Taylor was singing about South Carolina specifically, hearing that song always makes me think of my many, many trips to the beach.

I'm back home now but I still have plenty of photos to share....Here is some of the scenery I love, and using a bit of the song's lyrics for fun.

Can't you just see the sunshine....

Can't you just feel the moonshine?

Ain't it just like friends of mine, to follow me from behind? (had to change those lyrics just a bit!)

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind, that your dogs' love is the finest thing around (more lyric tweaking! :-) )

And, hey babe, the sky's on fire.....Gone to Carolina in my mind.....

Hungry Eyes

On occasion, I have rewritten a song or two, changing the lyrics to suit this blog...like this one and also this one . Sometimes photos just trigger song lyrics or vice versa....

First, the song on YouTube by Eric Carmen...it's VERY 80's! Now that you've got the tune stuck in your mind......

Wilson's and Jimmy's rendition:

We've  been meaning to tell you

We've got this feelin' that won't subside

We look at you and we realize

Your food is ours tonight

Now we've got your plate in our sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at your food and we can't disguise

We've got hungry eyes

We feel the magic of your pizza pies

We wanna a bite so hand it over

We wanna show you what this drool's all about

Don't bother with a shout

Now we've got your plate in our sights

With these hungry eyes

One look at your food and we can't disguise

We've got hungry eyes

We feel the magic of your french fries

Now we've got your plate in our sights

With these hungry eyes

Now did we take you by surprise

We need you to see

That sharing your food was just meant to be

We got Hungry Eyes

Purple Haze?

The bedroom Wilson hangs out in currently has a purple color scheme. On a bright day, the curtains and the comforter tinge the light with purple tones. When I first looked at this picture my brain immediately thought "Purple Haze". I'm really not a Jimi Henrix fan, but I certainly know the song. It had one of the most mis-quoted lyrics. The song goes along like this.....

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

That last line there was often mistaken for: Excuse me while I kiss this guy

Back in the day, this caused a bit of a hub-bub, with people questioning Jimi's meaning.

But for my photo, don't you think the mis-quote is just perfect? I certainly do!

Excuse me while I kiss this GUY

Have a great weekend, Everyone! 

Hope you get all the kisses you want!
