It’s time for another love tribute to McSweeney’s. This one made my head hurt from laughing, which I really didn’t need because I have a cold.

Easy-Listening Songs From the ‘70s, Rewritten by the Artists After They Had Kids.

BY

“I Keep Forgettin’ to Give You Your Antibiotics” by Michael McDonald

“I’d Really Love to See You Tonight, but My Sitter Was Grounded for ‘Inappropriate’ Entries on Her MySpace Page” by England Dan and John Ford Coley

“Nobody Does It Better Than Disney” by Carly Simon

“Hey Nineteen, Your Dad and I Are Going to Stop Paying Your College Tuition If You Say ‘Simone de Beauvoir’ in a Bad French Accent One More Time” by Steely Dan

“I Go Crazy When You Talk in a Robot Voice All Day” by Paul Davis

“You’ve Got a Friend I Won’t Let You Play With Anymore Because Last Time You Were at His House They Let You Watch The Shining and You Didn’t Sleep for a Week” by James Taylor

“I Am ... I Said ... and That’s the End of the Conversation, Period” by Neil Diamond

“The Cat’s in the Cradle ... Check ... the Dog’s in the Bathtub ... Check ... Now, Where Did I Put That Baby?” by Harry Chapin

Carly's in my head now

AYYYY! That’s me!
I am so glad you liked it. I am a total McSweeney’s junkie and when I got the email they were going to publish my list, I am not ashamed to say, I cried. Like a baby.
Thanks again!

How about “Dream on...if you think we’re going to be getting any sleep tonight since you let that stranger touch her and now she’d got a cold"--Aerosmith

or “Memories...of when we used to have free time"--Barbra Striesand

or “Staying alive...in spite of the fact that I haven’t had more than a two hour block of sleep in three weeks."---the BeeGees
