Actually, no: in the last two situations, I do literally want to be sedated. At the airport, standing in the longest line at the grocery store, listening to my own teenagers, checking the news. But true! I must feel this way (not literally) dozens of times a week, even now. The lyrics are simple, sure - that’s why I can remember them. Usually, I don’t pay much attention to lyrics I’m more about the beat, the music and the feel of the song, while the words just trail off into, like, “congratulations on the mess, hmm, hmm, hmmm, ba ba.” But these lyrics are imprinted on my brain. What do the lyrics of “I Wanna Be Sedated” mean to me? Well, that’s self-explanatory. But that’s okay! That genre, the favorite of my youth and teenage years, still holds up. To shorthand that for my friend, Jim, yes, that means, “they can’t play their instruments.” See also the Clash and the Replacements. The Ramones are a stand-in for all those bands. Who are the Ramones? A punk band from Queens, New York City. A real oldie, this one came out in 1978 on the classic album Road to Ruin. The first is “I Wanna Be Sedated” by the Ramones. I like a lot of songs. I just thought of five songs that I love but that I’m not sure I’ve mentioned on the blog before. These five songs aren’t actually my all-time favorite songs. If you want to do the Song a Day Challenge, consider yourself nominated by me. So, instead, I’m going to take the lazy person’s way out bold and brave step of letting any blog reader self-nominate. And I can’t afford to make any more enemies. Now, I actually don’t know any bloggers other than Diane who post that often. I’m also supposed to pass the challenge along to two other people.
