Newest entry for 'Wildly Inappropriate Songs in Advertizing':
CCR's _Fortunate Son_ selling Lee Jeans. It ain't me.


And so I saw a commercial for a new army game by Gotham Games, and I began to wonder--how would the United States react if a bunch of Saudi software engineers created a game where the object was to blow up the White House and take out President Bush with a sniper's bullet.


What I want for Christmas at this moment:
(A) A name for my car. Se's been around for quite a few months now, and I haven't found anything I like yet.
(B) Somebody to run a one-shot 7th Sea game so I can see how it's done.
(C) An affordable house to live in that's not further away from work and still has room for some of my crap.
(D) A hug. And/or a really nice massage.


EDIT
I was browsing websites on Christmas music and saw mention of that old chestnut, Santa Baby being performed by Marilyn Monroe.

And for a very very long time I kept reading it as 'Marilyn *Manson*'. Holy God. I can hear it in my head, and I really really think he needs to record this.

Oh, lordy. I did the same thing while reading your post, lol!

I'm afraid I don't live close enough to give you a hug in person anymore. Will you settle for a virtual one?

Hey you guys? Does anyone knows when and where Marilyn Monroe sang Santa Baby? Was it in a movie? If so which one?

Hello anonymous guest! I would point you toward this article which asserts that Marilyn Monroe never actually performed the song. As my mom said, Eartha Kitt is the best known performer of this particular number.

Dude, I think you're onto something. Maybe after I cash out some stock I can send you some venture capital for your new label. ;-)

Next to 'Yoyodyne Propulsion Laboratories', 'Screaming Axolotl Ltd.' was our default name for stuff during college. We had a radio show, we talked about a band, and it was used on things like Amazon orders that asked for 'business name'.
However.... Calling hir 'The Screaming Axolotl' is not completely unreasonable.
Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?

Took me a few minutes, 'cause the song kept playing in my head, but skipping the chorus.

Yes, in fact, it was originally. But that's not the version I saw. (: And I still think Marilyn Manson should record a version of it. By the way, look for a playlist for this years Xmas CD, Slouching Toward Bethlehem.

It's sung by Cynthia Basinet (aka "c. basinet") and is in "Party Monster" with Marilyn Manson.

Which is the very article I referenced in an earlier comment. (: And usually it's Eartha Kitt, rather than any Marilyns or Cynthias.
