iPod iChing - CnH2n+2

By catdynamics on July 14, 2006.

Hot friday, and I am out of touch.

So we ask the Mighty iPod...

...Oh, Mighty iPod - are we getting a short term shortage of those ever so addictive Megaliters of hydrogenated carbon chains we find so useful?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: The Price I Pay - Billy Bragg
  • The Crossing: Russian Dance - Tchaikovsky
  • The Crown: Cadet Rousselle - Sien Diels
  • The Root: When Will I See You Again? - Billy Bragg
  • The Past: God's Footballer - Billy Bragg
  • The Future: Granada - Three Tenors
  • The Questioner: Víur um Ref
  • The House: Du reines Taubchen, nur Herein! - Mozart
  • The Inside: (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes
  • The Outcome: England, Half English - Billy Bragg

#11 is Roadhouse Blues - Doors!, #12 is It's For You - Melissa Etheridge.

Hm. First part is spot on, and rather ominous.
The Questioner is "Songs about a Fox".
Nor sure at all about the Outcome. Most puzzling.
The Future sings of a dead glorious past.

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

England, Half-English

My mother was half English and I'm half English too
I'm a great big bundle of culture tied up in the red white and blue
I'm a fine example of your Essex man
And I'm well familiar with the Hindustan
Cos my neighbours are half English and I'm half English too

My breakfast was half English and so am I you know
I had a plate of Marmite soldiers washed down with a cappuccino
And I have a veggie curry about once a week
The next day I fry it up as bubble and squeak
Cos my appetites half English and I'm half English too

Dance with me to this very English melody
From morris dancing to Morrissey,
all that stuff came from across the sea

Britannia, she's half English, she speaks Latin at home
St George was born in the Lebanon, how he got here I don't know
And those three lions on your shirt,
They never sprang from England's dirt
Them lions are half English and I'm half English too

Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li Umma le-li-ya,
Le-li Umma le-li-ya, bledi g'desh akh! le-li-ya

Oh my country, what a beautiful country you are
