Covers
"Wonderwall," covered by Ryan Adams. Quite possibly the gayest thing in the whole wide world. Really. It makes me cringe just knowing that I have it in my Itunes, but I won't take it out since a friend who shall remain nameless gave it to me. A friend, by the way, who told me he is taking my blog out of his bookmarks, and that he is never going to read my blog again, since yesterday's entry was so halfhearted. So I might as well shamelessly abuse him here! He will be named, after all! BEN! You gave me "Wonderwall" covered by Ryan Adams! And you sincerely thought I would like it! What is WRONG with you!
"Over the Rainbow", covered by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Pretty gay but in an awesome way. I think I like it because of the Rice Krispies commercial. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The commercial, I mean, not the song.

So, despite the fact that I'm like, working now, and no longer a student, I'm still poor as a dormouse. (Damn those student loans. And what kind of animal IS a dormouse, anyway? Is it a mouse or is it something else? It could be. Animal names are often misleading. For example, did you know that a wolverine is NOT, in fact, a small species of wolf, but is a large species of the weasel family? It's true.) I'm poor, and I love shopping. But I have no money. So do you know what I've been reduced to these days? I go on my favorite sites, and I spend about an hour shopping and loading up my cart. Then when I'm done, instead of clicking "Checkout" and stretching my bank account or credit cards again, I just breathe deep... close my eyes... open them again... and close the window. *Poof!*
Shut up. I know it's a stupid activity but it's no worse than watching TV or playing spider solitaire for an hour. And just a little pathetic.

I happen to have both of these songs in my iTunes library right now, and I happen to be the person that gave Janet "Wonderwall" covered by Ryan Adams. First of all, I'll agree with Janet that Israel's version of "Over the Rainbow" is a bit out there. I won't say "gay" because I find that to be a tad insensitive. I'm sorry if my consideration makes me "gay" in your eyes, Janet. Secondly, I'll say that I find "Wonderwall" to be an excellent song. I don't profess to be a scholar of fine music, but the fact that a)Oasis received a number of awards for "Wonderwall", and b)Ryan Adams himself was nominated for a Grammy in 2005 for his cover of "Wonderwall" leads me to believe that other scholars of fine music may have found it to be an acceptable ditty.
Ha! I thought you said you'd never read my blog again, Ben!
I'm totally never reading this blog again.
You two squabble like an old married couple.
I'm gay for you, Jan
