The one and only dominator
There's a certain kind of song that, when it comes on, everyone thinks it's about them. Here's my top three for those songs:

1) "Where Eagles Dare", Misfits. My girlfriend Jen used to complain that every guy thinks this song is about him. Watch guys when this song comes on---every one of them will sing along to the "I ain't no goddamn son-of-a-bitch. You better think about it, baby" part, often pointing at the women they're with when doing it.

2) "The One and Only Dominator". I don't know who does this song. It was an early techno song from back around 1990. The only lyrics are "I am the one and only dominator", so I guess that's what it's called. My girlfriend Ellen refused to dance to this song because she said when it came on everyone thought they were the one and only dominator. I hadn't noticed it, but it was true. Everyone on the dance floor got haughty looks and posed and preened. She ruined the song for me, because, until then, I thought I was the one and only dominator.

3) "I Walk the Line", Alien Sex Fiend. Actually, by the time this comes on, you're walking the line between drunk and drunker.

Feel free to comments with additions to this list.

Good call on "Where Eagles Dare". Yes, it's so, so true.

Mark, I can't tell you how many times I've thought about that song. And who were those insane kids with the whistles that DJ'd such great parties at that club? I don't think we knew how good we had it. In fact, I'm certain. With love from the ships at Mylae, Joel

This song? That's hilarious.

No idea why all your old posts turned up on my feedreader -- I was hoping they were new ones but looked around anyway. Well, another song everything thinks about them is every Christian song where the lyrics imply the people singing will end up in heaven. :)

And oddly, I think people often think blues songs are about them. One that has snagged every fat guy I know (myself included) is Howlin' Wolf's "Built for Comfort". Or this Howlin' Wolf tune.

Ha! Thanks for the link to "Dominator". I seem to remember a different remix, but that was a long time ago.

I agree with the blues. I think the form invites listeners to think that way.

I've never figured out what to do with this blog. I have an account so I can read other people's posts.

Hey,

Blogs are tough. I struggle with my own, and what direction I should take it in, since it's all educational-issues one week, and then all Korea-the next, and then boring writing updates for a few weeks, and then politics. Not even cyclical.

But I like your posts to date. Always something odd and funny.
