I'm Asleep


When you buzzed after "snore"
Couldn't open my two eyes
You're just like a bother
Your tone makes me cry
I snore like a feather's
In the back of my throat
I wish I was annoying
You're so fucking annoying

Cause I'm asleep
I'm just, uh, dead, oh
What the hell are you doing here?
You don't belong here

I don't care if I dream
But my mind wants control
I can feel myself nodding
I want a perfect sleep-in
I want you to notice when I'm asleep, sound
You're so fucking annoying
I wish I was annoying

Cause I'm asleep
I'm just, uh, dead, oh
Why the hell are you buzzing here?
You don't buzz long here

Not running out the door
Not running out
Late - run, run, run

Whatever makes me dozy
Whatever it is
Is so fucking annoying
I wish I was annoying

Cause I'm asleep
I'm still in bed, oh
What the hell's going on here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

HA! I caught on right away Dufus! I was like, wait! This is MY song. And nicely done, and I guess I accept the 'pology.

Or is too late to 'pologize?

HA!

I knew you'd get this Quirks. "Creep" is your favourite song. I hope I didn't take too many liberties with it. "I'm asleep" just seemed like such a natural. Great song...the original anyway.

Okay, now I get it. Some of the lyrics sounded familiar-like, but I was thinking of a totally different song.

A little ambiguous for you this morning? We should remind people what song I'm parodying http://youtu.be/XFkzRNyygfk

I did look it up (thanks for the link anyway), but I really did have another song in mind which now totally escapes me. Fun lyrics, though.

Quirky seemed to like it. I can see I'm going after a limited audience today.

Hey! I got that one right away!! I love that song. Yours, I mean, not the original. Mainly because Jepeto snores and I'm really fucking tired. :-)

Well you should move his cage to another room.

I wish I could hear the song because I don't think I've ever heard Radiohead. You should sing it! ☺

Me? I wouldn't do the original justice. There's a link to the original further down in the comments here.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
