lyric and good pandagon post

This post utterly rules. Not only is the subject matter stupid social conservative BS, and the commentary on it spot-on, but the comments thread afterwards rocks. If you don’t regularly read Pandagon, you should.

Since tomorrow’s a bizarre mid-week day off, I thought I’d put up a lyric today, and since I have Chicago’s “You’re the Inspiration” stuck in my head like a tumor (maybe that’s where lyrics that stick in my dome come from), I thought I’d inflict it on you too.

Chicago
You’re the Inspiration
Chicago 17
(1984, P. Cetera/D. Foster)

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
You’re always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

You’re the meaning in my life
You’re the inspiration
You bring felling to my life
You’re the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin’
No one needs you more that I need you

And i know, yes I know that it’s plain to see
We’re so in love when we’re together
And i know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

They don’t have the goofy “When you love somebody/ til the end of time” at the end, possibly the lamest call-and-response in recorded history. Oh wait, here’s a videogame with a totally even-more-retarded version of this song. NICE! Yay! Birthday cake!
