I really need to start off by saying how much y’all ROCK.

No, really. I was blown away. BLOWN AWAY by the amount of comments and emails and suggestions I received. Seriously? Y’all are bitchin’. TOTALLY. BITCHIN’. And for those of you that are new around these parts, you should know that is pretty much the HIGHEST BARBIE COMPLIMENT EVER.

Ever.

So, really? Y’all deserve a bajillion gold stars. Because you’ve kept me sane these past couple days. And like I told our darling Clinky the other day: “I’m really appreciative, because I’m pretty sure those shades of gowns worn at the funny farm would do absolutely nothing to compliment my skin tone.”

Classic.

So while there is all of this awesomeness going on, there is however, one tiny downfall. Minor detail. And that, would be status of my AmEx. Which is currently quivering in a corner, begging for lube, because oh. It’s been abused. ABUSED these past two days, partypeople. ITunes has assraped my Amex. It’s cool. Apple is currently

And just when I finally paid all of my cards off. I know. Currently officially out of debt as of 9.20.08, actually. (That was a great day.) (Not quite sure why it was not celebrated on ‘zee blog.) (Maybe because I was too busy writing in parentheticals.)

But now, we’re back to the red. Because my music addiction habit is an expensive one….even at 99cents a pop. That shit adds up, yo.

But we won’t think about that.

What we will think about, though? Glad you asked. My fabulous new selection of songs compiling the new playlist, so appropriately entitled “life,lemons&vodka.” (Think about it.)

So, another big thanks for all of the suggestions. You guys never cease to amaze me. And because I’m in a giving mood, I’m going to share with you some lyrics that have been floating around in my head, thanks to the new playlist, life,lemons&vodka. (Again, think about it. I so clever.)

So, happy humpday folks, and feel free to help out the state of Apple stock in this economic crisis like I did. iLove, bitches. iLove.

***Barbie PSA: This part is long. Feel free to skip. I’m currently in a state of CabSauv Buzz. Which really means I’m skipping through my playlist blaring out these parts of song as I type. What, like you don’t do it too?  Feel free to dissect a piece of wisdom out of the many lyrics I’m about to put before you, if you stay with me. If not, pizzzeeeaaccccceee.***

**Edited to reflect I’m a lot more tipsy than I so thought. And there’s seriosuly like 50 songs down there. Jebus. Aaaaaand comments from yours truly. Clearly, this makes me awesome.**


Shawn Mullins: Beautiful Wreck

“At the dark end of this bar
What a beautiful wreck you are
When you go too far,
Beautiful wreck you are
What a beautiful, such a beautiful
A beautiful wreck you are
What a beautiful, such a beautiful wreck”


Ingird Michaelson: Be OK

Open me up and you will see
I’m a gallery of broken hearts
I’m beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok


P!nk: So What

So, so what?
I’m still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t need you
And guess what
I’m having more fun
And now that we’re done
I’m gonna show you tonight
I’m alright, I’m just fine
And you’re a tool
So, so what?
I am a rockstar
I got my rock moves
And I don’t want you tonight


Christina Aguilera: Keeps Gettin’ Better

Step back gonna come at ya fast
I’m driving out of control
And getting ready to crash
Won’t stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So suck it down like a man
So baby yes I know what I am
And no I don’t give a damn
And you’ll be loving it

Some days I’m a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won’t last forever
Next day I’m your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin’ better


Corrine Bailey Rae: Put Your Records On

Maybe sometimes, we’ve got it wrong, but it’s alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don’t you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.


Cake’s Version of: I Will Survive

(Love me some Gloria G, but Cake’s version is just so much more…..F*ck You.)

Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah


Christina Ag (AGAIN): Fighter

(You sing it girlfriend. YOU ARE A FIGHTER!)

After all you put me through
You’d think I’d despise you
But in the end I wanna thank you
‘Cause you made me that much stronger

Well I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
Guess I, I couldn’t trust
Called your bluff, time is up
‘Cause I’ve had enough

…..

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter


Faith Hill: Free

Life pulls fast changes
Wind blows past pages
All I see is I don’t need this
High strung tightrope walk
Ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name off
Cut these chains

I’m free…kicking out of that prison
I’m am free…singing those words of wisdom
Let it be…nobody gonna put the blues inside of me


Madonna: Sorry

I don’t wanna hear, I don’t wanna know
Please don’t say you’re sorry
(Don’t explain yourself cause talk is cheap)
I’ve heard it all before, And I can take care of myself
(There’s more important things than hearing you speak)
I don’t wanna hear, I don’t wanna know
Please don’t say ‘forgive me’


Maria Mena: Fragile

(I AMMMMM fraaaagilllllleeeee I ammmmmm hopelessssssss)

I’ve been walking around all day,
Laughing.
I think I’d be better off without you here.
And I bet you’re sweet and hard to get over.
So I’ll cry and people will stop and stare.
Now that’s okay.
Let them stop and stare.

Cause I am fragile.
I am hopeless.
I’m not perfect.
But I am free.


Jo Dee Messina: Not Goin Down

(SHe is the BEES KNEES. omfg. Did I jstu say BEESKNEES? omg, i did. seriosuly though. sing it woman.)

Been burned by the fire
Been stuck under water
Strung up on a wire and still the world goes around
Been tossed like a free throw
Knocked out when the wind blows
Pull the curtain on the hurtin’
‘Cause I’m not going down
(I’m not going down no no)


Kanye West: Stronger

too drunk to find lyrics. you know this song. jamz. out.


Lily Allen: Everything’s Just Wonderful

Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental,
It seems to me that it’s spiralling outta control and it’s inevitable,
Now don’t you think,
This time is yours, this time is mine,
Its temperamental,
It seems to me, we’re on all fours,
Crawling on our knees,
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can’t afford it,
It’s just the bureaucrats who won’t give me a mortgage,
Well it’s very funny cos I got your xxxxxx money,
And I’m never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn’t grumble,
I suppose that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.


Rosie THomas: Wedding Day

so much for love
i guess i’ve been wrong
but it’s all right cuz i’m moving on
i’m gonna drive over hills
over mountains and canyons

and boys that keep bringin me down
i’m gonna drive under skyline and sunshine
drink good wine in vineyards
and get asked to dance
i’m gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by
never ever again

it’s gonna be so grand
it’s gonna be just like my wedding day


What Made Milwaukee Famous: Sultan

I’ve had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I’ve got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
And no matter what you try man
You’re never gonna tear me down

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don’t cut your losses before you get lost
They’re never going to leave you alone

My best bits of advice I’ll repeat only twice
After that you can fend for yourself
If you think that your shoes couldn’t find better use
About just about anyone else

You need to face up and fold
Or deal with the hand you’re dealt

Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
I’ve no patience for your impetuous doubt


What is Mine: O.A.R.

Been to the black rock
Found my salvation
Rendered me patient
But wearing me thin
So I’m

On the way back home
Seen the big show, thousand times
Got to get back what is mine
The only way I know
Feet been walking, thousand miles
Got to get back what is mine

What is mine


Jack’s Mannequin: Swim

(IIII beeeee swimmmmin)

You gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you’re not so
sure you’ll survive
You gotta swim
Swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven’t come this far
To fall off the earth
The current will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above


Kate Voegele: It’s Only Life

Tears are forming in your eyes
A storm is warning in the sky

The end of the world it seems
You bend down and you fall on your knees
Well get back on your feet yeah

Don’t look away
Don’t run away
Hey baby it’s only life
Don’t lose your faith
Don’t run away
Hey baby its only life
Yea it’s only life

You were always playing hard
Never could let down your guard

But you can’t win
If you never give in
To that voice within
Saying pick up your chin
Baby let go of it


Saving Jane: Supergirl

I’m the life of the party
So contagious
All the boys wanna catch me
But I’m just playin’

I’m supergirl
I’m everywhere
I’m flashing lights
They stop and stare
I’m fire red
I’m on a roll
I’m in your head and everybody knows
I’m, I’m, I’m supergirl

I’m the perfect disaster
You can’t stop me
Coming faster and faster
But you just watch me [you just watch me]


Ani DiFranco: Untouchable Face

think i’m going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don’t want nobody to follow me
‘cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren’t already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she’s not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you’re perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i
i bet you can’t even tell me that much


Lady GaGA: Just Dance

(JUST DAAAAANNNCEY IT OUT.)

Can’t find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What’s go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can’t see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember but it’s alright, alright.

Just dance. Gunna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo

Duh-duh-duh-duh
