"Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" was written and performed by Chuck Berry, and never made the charts. But it was apparently well-known enough to inspire cover versions by both Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings.
According to Rolling Stone, "Berry was inspired to write this song while he was touring through heavily black and Latino areas of California. As Berry put it, 'I didn't see too many blue eyes.' He did see a good-looking Chicano nabbed for loitering until 'some woman came up shouting for the policeman to let him go'."
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
She said, "Free that brown-eyed man.
If you want your job, you better free that brown-eyed man."
I wonder how the song would have gone had he seen me in my natural habitat...
Resting on his haunches while "working from home" He was sitting in front of a fan Then his wife called down from the kitchen upstairs "Are you busy, green-eyed writer man? I need a favor from my green-eyed writer man."
Flying upstairs like a bat outta heck Hoping romance was part of the plan She just couldn't reach something on a top shelf Like that green-eyed writer man He's so much taller, yeah, that green-eyed writer man.
Drinking Dr Pepper, eating CornNuts, Enjoying as much as he can There's never ever been any ifs, ands, or buts From that green-eyed writer man, It's a lot of quirks with that green-eyed writer man.
Beautiful music from the 70s and back Lyrics like the back of his hand. Not much else swirling 'round in the mind Of that green-eyed writer man He's full of earworms, he's a green-eyed writer man.
Of course, you know there's a serious side He loves Jesus and the Gospel plan And the joy in his heart can't help but spill out Of this green-eyed writer man Humor is healthcare for this green-eyed writer man.
Princess Leia returned from her learning pod only to find Almira Vader attempting to abscond with her favorite droid, R2-Toto2.
Almira Vader: I want to see you and your wife right away about Leia. Uncle Owen: Leia? Well, what has Leia done? Almira Vader: What's she done? I'm all but lame from the zap on my leg! Uncle Owen: You mean she zapped you? Almira Vader: No, her droid! Uncle Owen: Oh, she zapped her droid, eh?
During Leia's attempt to run away from the whole situation, she was swept into a black hole, along with several chickens, wamp rats, and Miss Vader herself.
Upon gaining consciousness in a bright, Technicolor land of Ewoks and talking apple trees, Princess Leia soon made friends with a ragtag trio of misfits: Luke Scarecrowalker, Tin-3PO, and Chewbacca the Cowardly Wookie.
[Updated Update! Now The Truth Can Be Told: I started this post just so I could publish the picture of Miss Gulch on a Star Wars speeder, then I got interested in how A.I. would present the foursome. I like the Leia/C3PO/Chewie in the top pic, but prefer the bottom Luke/Scarecrow and simply HAD to show you the Emerald City with the Death Star and TIE fighters.]
Sitting at my keyboard, typing Tired of hearing others griping Wanting to knock them off a shelf Deciding I'll just gripe myself:
The sign says "Exit," clear as day "You Must Enter Other Way" And yet, they enter like it's a race Makes me want to smash their face
"Those sandwiches should be on sale. You charged full price. I'm gonna wail!" The sale's not for the ones you chose. The sign says these, but you bought those.
"I didn't use this wash code, bold In 30 days like I was told Hyuck-hyuck; silly old me Can I have one more for free?"
Do you have our rewards card? "No way! I protect my privacy hard! I don't want your bosses to sell me But if there's a coupon, would you please tell me?"
"How are you doing?" they ask me all day Not ever pausing to hear what I say Not that I care if they care how I am Let's just not play out this little scam
And phones! Good night! Put your phone down! You're talking to everyone standing around How will I know if you want a receipt If you don't hear me ask and I have to repeat?
And then, there are those who just stand and stare Forgetting that payment's expected and fair Who flinch to awareness and see where they are Then say, "I have to go out to my car."
But still, I show up for each of my shifts Through rain that pours and snow that drifts Sun that blazes and clouds that billow Then calmly go home and pummel my pillow.
Word has it that Pink Floyd member, Roger Waters, didn't write "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" just as part of their concept album The Wall. It was meant as an actual critique of his elementary school teachers.
He hated his grammar school teachers and felt they were more interested in keeping the kids quiet than in teaching them. The wall refers to the emotional barrier Waters built around himself because he wasn't in touch with reality. The bricks in the wall are the events in his life that propelled him to build this proverbial wall around himself - his school teacher was just another brick in the wall.
What a different tale would have been told had it been written about my elementary education in a rural school, just wanting to get through the day . . .
We don't need no tours of bakeries
Time ill-spent away from home
No dark rooms to yawn through filmstrips
Teacher, throw them kids a bone
Hey, teacher, throw them kids a bone
All in all it's just like sitting out in the hall
Try to crawl to just another grade in the fall
When you're tall, you'll get to go and shop at the mall
You'd never know I had a crush on my 2nd-grade teacher, Mrs. Hunter.
Clarence Odbody, the angel who saves George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life, appears on screen for only 15 minutes.
It irritates me when people on medical shows say things like “You have to save my child! Please save my child!” As if the medical staff wasn’t going to do anything until the parent told them to.
The voice of Betty Rubble, Bea Benaderet, was also Kate Bradley, the owner of The Shady Rest, on Petticoat Junction.
Two spoons of Swiss Miss plus one spoon of Tang makes for a tasty, orangey mug of hot chocolate.
Ice is not slippery. The tiny bit of water (i.e., melted ice) between your boot and the ice is what's slippery.
The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling was only 5'4" tall...if tall is the right word to use in this instance.
I'd be terminal, too, if I had an arrow through my head.
The founder of Hormel Foods, maker of Spam® and other fine delicacies, was George A. Hormel, who pronounced his name HORmel, not HorMEL.
It's not the lavender flower that smells so good; it's the leaf.
