nirvana, house of pain, and nelly walk into a bar
and i tell jokes about their music
dear friends, fams, fellow folks,
i am grateful that you are here.
thank you for being who you are today and always.
and now, for some silly jokes about some songs that i like!
A) A is for All:
why haven't they released a compilation
of the complete works of nirvana
called "all anthologies"? 1
B) B is for Bible:
“i’ve got more rhymes than the Bible’s got psalms”
“how many exactly?”
“153. i have exactly 153 rhymes. i am going to run out pretty quick actually.” 2
C) C is for Clothes:
"it's getting cold in here, so put on all your clothes"
-- a negative nelly 3
and
those are the funs for the day!
for future funs, i headline the Comedy Club of Kansas City on 1/13-14 (next week!)
PS one final bonus fun thing unrelated to music but FUNrelated to books (also the store does sell some music i think, so phew, still related if you really stretch and stretching is good to do sometimes)! please enjoy looking at it and thinking about it and also maybe thinking about other fun things that YOU have seen or experienced in your life (and tell me them if you like)!
the relevant prerequisite for finding this fun:
nirvana had a song called “all apologies.”
to people who didn’t need this footnote, i ogize.
to people who DID need this footnote, i apologize.
that is to say (and i am sorry for this as well), all apologies.
the TWO relevant prerequisites for finding THIS fun:
— according to the internet, the Bible has 150 psalms
— “i’ve got more rhymes than the Bible’s got psalms” is a lyric from the song “jump around” by “house of pain”
the THREE relevant prerequisites for finding THIS fun:
— “it’s getting hot in here” is a song by Nelly
— a Negative Nelly is an idiom that refers to a pessimist, let’s say
— hot is the opposite of cold (or in other words, cold = negative hot)
even more than all apologies!
