Caps-lock – It’s cruise control for cool.
(Don’t forget, even with cruise-control, you still have to steer.)

It is indeed. You also left out a few phrases here and there… and misspelled the ones you did include…

Can’t Stop is my favorite song! I know every word. I also know all the words to Give It Away and Around the World (both by the Chili Peppers, and rather fast paced songs with hard to understand words.)

I personally heard the Great Big Sea version first, and am forever disappointed by the slowness of R.E.M’s version.

I can top that, because I know those and the lyrics to “Can’t Stop” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, American Pie (Or something to that effect) by Don McLean (And the Weird Al parody, but that’s a whole other thing), “I’ve Been Everywhere Man” (Johnny Cash version), and “Your Evil Shadow Has a Cup of Tea” by Lemon Demon (Not hard to learn, but singing it’s kinda weird, plus I felt like including it simply based on title)

Are you sure it isn’t “All hail the caps-lock key”?

Seriously, why make your entire comment upper-case except the word “or”?

“I am a hurricane,” seriously? I had always thought it was “Eye of the hurricane.”

Then again, I remember telling someone for years that I was humiliated that as a child I thought the Michael Jackson lyrics in “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” were “You’re a vegetable, you’re a vegetable.”

…whence I found out that really is what they lyric is.

By: Snow

Snow — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:04:00 +0000

Ah, whoops. Yes, that’s the other portion of the lyrics which I know

I tried to learn this one once, after learning “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies, but didn’t get very far with it. I can get through the first few lines, I know there’s something about jellybeans and obviously LEONARD BERNSTEIN.

Totally what I was going to say. I used to work at blockbuster and that song was on our trailer reel. After about a week all the employees would shout LEONARD BERNSTEIN at the appropriate moment.

I actually DO know all the lyrics to “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)” as well as the lyrics to “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” (also by REM) “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (Billy Joel) and “Hook” (Blues Traveller.)

Why? Because I’m a huge dork.

Six o’clock, TV hour,
don’t get caught in foreign towers
slash and burn, return,
listen to yourself churn,
lock it in, uniform, book burning, blood-letting
every motive escalate, automotive incinerate,
light a candle, light a votive, step down step down,
watch it heel crush crush, uh oh, this means
no fear, cavalier, renegade steering clear
a tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline

Down height.

Remakes are circular. The first remake is a remake of the last remake. In 2012, the Mayans run out of material to remake, and the cycle starts again.
