sisyphusshrugged | I been memed

This is a twist on the Letter Meme. Instead of coming up with ten items for a certain letter, you come up with five song titles for a certain letter and explain why you picked them. If interested then leave a comment. I'll give you a letter. You post this blurb in your journal along with your list.

Jesus Loves Me, But He Can't Stand You - Austin Lounge Lizards

I'm going straight to heaven boys, when I die,
because I've crossed every T and I've dotted every I
why my preacher tells me I'm God's kind of guy
which is why Jesus loves me, and you're going to fry

God loves all his children, by gum
that don't mean he won't incinerate some...

the man who wrote/performed that is a judge. Also a former divinity student. Does a damn good Leonard Cohen imitation.

Jump in Line - Harry Belafonte

OK, tell me you didn't perk up when they played this in Beetlejuice. Besides, I've always been fascinated by the competition between Belafonte and Sidney Poitier.

Just a Gigolo - Louis Prima

When the end comes they'll know he was just a gigolo.
Life goes on without him.

Just an Old Fashioned Love Song - Three Dog Night

Don't even get my husband, the midwestern punk, started on Three Dog Night.

On the other hand, me and the kid are all over Paul Williams performing it on the first season of the Muppet Show.

So there.

Julia - John Lennon

The mother of someone with whom I was at one time involved used to sing this to me when she was feeling agreeable. Practically ruined it for me.

All the same, when I was an impressionable youngling, I secretly thought it was about me.

Also, it's arguable that half of what I say is meaningless. Just saying.

I'd prefer to use

Just My Imagination - Temptations

only I've found when I'm that desperate I'm usually wrong.

Just saying.
