Whoops, I almost forgot:
In commemoration of the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo, I grabbed an album and played a song. It wasn't exactly a mariachi favorite, though. To wit, the song I chose was none other than:
"Cinco de Mayo", from whip-smart by Liz Phair.
I don't recommend her albums to a family audience, but I sure like 'em, and she would feature heavily on the college soundtrack. Check out the lyrics to her "CdM":
Cinco de Mayo.
Blow out, denial.
It wasn't fun this time, letting you go.
What if I never, a bullet forever,
Held out my hand to you, we wouldn't have known
Beautiful flow,
Absolute measure, I ain't no pleasure hound
Bus' out of control, plowing the road.
Out on a bender, just Alice falling down
A deepening hole.
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled.
You're about as old and piled.
I used to pray for snow...
Now I just wonder what spell I was under,
Thinking you thought of me as
Something to hold.
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled.
You're about as old and piled.
Cinco de Mayo.
Burn-out, Ohio.
It wasn't me this time, letting you go.
Stolen from Aaron Walker.
