* niqui now knows that this is her jukebox run — because this is the first eminem that’s played all night, and she adores this song.
* twork bops in spirit
you waited this long, so stop debating – ‘cos i’m back on the rag and ovulating
* twork throws on some beastie boys. why? because they’re droppin’ science!
now this looks like a job for me; so everybody just follow me, ‘cos we need a little controversy, ‘cos it looks so empty without me
* niqui sings along with the bit dissing moby even though she likes moby, ‘cos it’s funny
* twork sings along when 3rd bass disses on the beastie boys.
na na na na, na na na na!
* twork would not be surprised if the beastie boys did as well
man, the first time i heard this song, it was on the radio — and i was convinced it was someone parodying eminem. and i was surprised to find out it actually was eminem. i love this song.
sad; it’s over now. what did niqui play next?
‘TIS A MYSTERY!
niqui’s five bucks:
“michael,” franz ferdinand
“without me,” eminem
“julia,” the beatles
“lost in a supermarket,” the clash
“my weakness,” moby
“marching bands of manhattan,” death cab for cutie
something or other (does it actually matter?), the white stripes
“when doves cry,” prince
“ashes to ashes,” david bowie
“the KKK took my baby away,” the ramones
“violently happy,” bjork
“get on the good foot,” james brown (with a hat tip to r., wherever he is these days)
“without love (there is nothing),” tom jones
something — beck, clearly, but, what? i must have played something randomly.
“wave of mutilation,” the pixies.
and you can tell that niqui’s run of the jukebox is done because the next song is, like, bon jovi or some such shit. i barely even tolerated this shit in the eighties. oh, christ, it’s def leppard, “pour some sugar on me.” time to go to sleep.
…
i just want to be me
when i can, i will;
try to understand that when i can, i will.
