Radio MoonbirdWide awake with a fresh set. Come get a slice of 3.14159265358979323...
Yeah, I know this Pi shit backwards and forwards
Check it out
I did three chicks then I pointed at the door
A girl entered in so that made it four
I snapped one time in came another five
Add 'em all up and that makes nine
The average age 26.5
Now that's what I call gettin' some pi
Five of the chicks wore 6-inch heels
Two of the nine squealed like seals
514 was the area code
Quebec, Canada my winter abode
And my 1.3 million dollar chalet
Pi backwards, pi forwards, all night and all day
umm, so re: Don Mclean "On the Amazon" - is there some story or explanation behind that? that is one of the oddest things I have heard in quite a while (but I liked it)
The best story I have about the Don McLean song is this:
In my younger years, I had a friend, some of a mystically enthralled teacher/trickster, that played many fine songs on his guitar. He told me that aliens helped him "write" that song out in Reno, Nevada. Sure 'nuff, after he long since disappeared into the ethers, I googled a lyric fragment and there was Don McLean. Though, I would still like to believe the aliens helped him to stylize it.
Other than that, I know nothing of McLean's context, but the song is near-n-dear to my ticker.
