Well Doug you’ve backed me in a corner I do not like this prompt at all But I am a talented songwriter And I am committed to a fault I took a little trip to Wikipedia Wrote a little song to make you dance It’s all about the scientific name for the family of Willow flow’ring plants Salicaceae, Salicaceae Wrote about its name To stay in this game Salicaceae Salicaceae, Salicaceae Now sing along To my half-baked song Salicaceae Doug I will admit that I was desperate And the other choices weren’t that great This beat out a random church in Norway And India in 1928 I never really was a nerd for science I’ve never really been a history buff But I know how to write a verse and chorus And Doug-uh-lass I hope that that’s enough Salicaceae, Salicaceae Here’s a Latin word That you’ve never heard Salicaceae Salicaceae, Salicaceae Take a look with me At the family Salicaceae Narrowleaf Willow, Peach Leaf Willow, Corkscrew, Dappled and the Weeping Willow White Willow, Yellow Willow Purple Osier Even googled up a big list just to make sure There’s Poplars and Aspen, and Cottonwoods Salicaceae has got the goods My pronunciation function got some work today So you can sing it out confidently Salicaceae, Salicaceae Gonna make you sway Like a willow tree Salicaceae Salicaceae, Salicaceae Now that you pressed play I bet you can say Salicaceae

Just a careless pack of wolves today We are Still young enough to have a day of play We are See that odontosia in the sky Try to catch him fore he gets to high We all jump at him with all our might As he hovers round the dying light Come and run with us my brother now We were tough on you but we’ll make it up somehow We are sorry we had been mislead You’re one of us now you can lift your head

My father fought back the surge Bells of Sao Paolo rang the requiem dirge I left my home like cannonshot I chased my dragons, sought no rest, nil for naught Man lay roots all eternal in gold As the sea’s lost foam Man is fooled These shiftings of sand Searching for his home You brought me to the end The edge of nowhere My devils show their Unbeatable hands You left me here to find The edge of never The lost forever The glass-empty sands I’ve bathed in Venezuelan rain My bed of stars laid down in sweet Clairefontaine I raised good men to victories bold From Porto silver to the Manchester gold Man lay roots all eternal in gold As the sea’s lost foam Man is fooled These shiftings of sand Searching for his home You brought me to the end The edge of nowhere My devils show their Unbeatable hands You left me here to find The edge of never The lost forever The glass-empty sands

v1: It takes 2 to tango, at least 2 to make romance So swing on by my place, unless you've got other plans A gentle reminder, it might be a long, long night With bubbles & champagne, we'll unleash the fire inside ch: Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love v2: The night is just starting, but we're twirling round & round No neighbors complaining, but soon we'll be getting loud Unless you get frightened, then we could pull it back But let's reconsider, you should just try to relax ch: Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love br: You certainly must understand how lucky we are And even though you're still in your skin, you shine like a star -- gtr solo -- v1.5: It takes 2 to tango, at least 2 to make romance So swing on by my place, unless you've got other plans ch: Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love

about

For my assignment this week, I’m going to revisit one we’ve done before. This comes originally from Nick Cave, via Mitchell Snow. Here’s the idea:

- Go to Wikipedia.
- On the left column, you’ll see a link for “Random Article.” Most of us never even knew that Wiki provided this super-cool feature.
- Click it. Write a song inspired by or somehow tangential to the article you click on.
- Mitchell gave us the option of hedging our bets by getting up to 3 clicks. I’ll honor that. Choose from any one of the three articles you encounter.
