My Best Friend's Girl - The Cars

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise

(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
oo, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
well she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl-irl
but she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
oo when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
yeah, I think you'll flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips
'cause she's my best friend's girl
well she's my best friend's girl-irl
and she used to be mine
she's so fine

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eye-eyes
and every new boy that you meet
doesn't know the real surprise

(here she comes again)

oh, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

A first time for everything

I nearly laughed when I saw "carrot juice" on the menu at the House of Kabobs, located on Edmonton Trail in Calgary. It sounds like something that The Simpsons would lampoon. However, when my new Iranian friend, Mehdi (spelling?) recommended it, I just had to try it. And not just the carrot juice, but the carrot juice float.


I was pleasantly surprised. The ice cream is flavoured with saffron and the beverage tastes wonderful. I was so glad that I listened to Mehdi's advice. I also told him that the first syllable of his name is now an official word in the English language, meaning "whatever" or "a form of indifference." So the next time Mehdi recommends a carrot juice float to you, don't say "meh."

This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide (by David Diamond and Mister Zero)

Hey Judy, get Trudy
You said to call you up if I was feeling moody
Hey little Donna, still wanna
You said to ring you up if I was in Toronto
I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics, we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah, This Beat Goes On
Hey, ladies. Ooh, you crazies
Me and Zero request you in the Mercedes
And then we'll ride, so zoomy inside
The sky's the limit, this time I'm Switchin' to Glide

I don't give a hoot about what people have to say
I'm laughing as I'm analyzed
Lunatics Anonymous, that's where I belong
Sure, 'cause I am one, till my strength is gone
Yeah, This Beat Goes On
I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics, we'll act till way past dawn
Sure, we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah, This Beat Goes On, this beat goes on,
This beat goes on, this beat goes on,
This beat goes on, this beat goes on,
This beat goes on, this beat goes...

Nothing matters but the weekend
From a Tuesday point of view
Like a kettle in the kitchen
I feel the steam begin to brew
Switchin' to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Switchin' to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Energy can be directed
I'm turning it up, I'm turning it down
Even love can be affected
Harmony's the sweetest sound
Switching to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Switchin' to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Balancing in my head..inside of me...
taking the glide path instead.

Everybody gets the no-no
Hear it ringing in they ears
Lots of ways that you can go GO!
Look around NO disappears
Switchin' to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Switchin' to Glide, Switchin' to Glide
Switchin' to Glide, Yeah
Switchin' to Glide, Yeah
Switchin' to Glide
Oh... ah, ah, ah... Oh... ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I'm switchin' to glide

I finally found some way
out of this hole, you know
out of this hole!
