What's on my Last Nerve

I have been trying unsuccessfully to buy an MP3 download of Riu Riu Chiu by the Monkees.

Yes, I said the Monkees, but if you haven't heard it, you can't understand why, I'm sure. It is one of the best renditions of this Christmas Carol I've ever heard and I want it and I am frustrated out of my mind that iTunes doesn't have it and I tried to download it from WalMart and that was a complete failure . Although I'm a computer klutz, I did pay my money, followed the directions and ended up with odd, scary things on my computer but no Riu Riu Chiu.

Next up that is irking me to the bone is Dr. Phil and his latest 2 part show which I didn't watch in its entirety, but featured the line: "He touched my peepee. " This was said by a crying child, Dr. Phil, and about 10 other people and it was said over and over and over again, in both Part I and Part II and in promotional snippets, sound bites, repeated at the beginning and end of each segment and generally is stuck into my gray matter for all time now.

He touched my peepee.
He touched my peepee.
He touched my peepee.
He touched my peepee.

You get the point.

Talk about exploitation! I have no idea if the father did molest the child or the mother coached the child to say such a thing, but Dr. Phil at least should know better than to broadcast this crap and expose this poor child to the world just to make a buck.

Britney's labia, now that's another overexposed and often, not-so-pretty-image that's circulating the net. Scroll to Britney Does it Again: Forget the 'Oops'

CelebritySmack...(who I love and visit frequently because she's so witty and funny and gets pictures that no other blogs seem to have) recently posted the above photo and others because apparently Britney loves to show off her naked cootchie. I wonder what her little boys will think of these photos as someday they'll see them I'm sure.

My last rant is on shoes. If I have a pair that's comfortable, then they're not chic. If they're chic they're not comfortable. Why do I have to choose between comfort and the coolness factor? Can't anyone make a pair of shoes that is both chic and comfy???

So, what's on your last nerve??

I really hated to, but I went over and looked at the pics of Britney's cootchie. I didn't stay there for longer than the ten minutes or so it took to be disgusted. OK, fifteen, but part of that was spent waggling my finger at the screen. OK, not my finger, but still.

Nilbo! You do so make me laugh... but I'm sure you've seen many pubes before -- what she's got hanging out there looks like it would look best on a minature elephant's face.

If you're going to make your pubes public than they should be cuter than that! I meant if one makes their pubes public... of course....I'm sure yours are lovely.

Heehee! You reminded me that for years, when I read the words "pubic hair" I thought it read "public hair" and was baffled, because wasn't it "private hair"?

And yes, mine are lovely, thank you, but we're discussing Britney's. Which may or may not be lovely ... from what I could see in a quick, ten minute glance, she appears for have ummm .. had them done away with.

Which ... hell, just gonna play the male card here and say "That's just fine by me."

My crack neighbors. Our mayor. I bought some amex cards for family and I was charged a service fee?? I have to complain about that.

Have you found your song? My husband is a whiz at finding this kind of thing. He checks certain music blogs for new songs posted.

I love it "public hair" -- that's so funny and reminds me of a typo I caught when I was working for the local school system. It was on the cover of a booklet:

Pubic School and You.

hahaha

Mini...it stinks to have a bad boss...

PG - I did get the music, silly me, all I had to do was ask my friend DJ and he emailed it to me in a flash!!

Of course I had to look at Britney's cootch, um gross. Who the fuck wears a mini skirt with no panties? Because if you're sitting down in public places, it stands to reason that your cootch is going to make contact with public seating and that is not good hygene! I couldn't stop looking at the fact that above all that bare skin, you can see the scar from her c-sections. She's a skank.

I LOVE Riu Chiu. I can't find the recording with Davy, only the one where Chip is filling in on the bass harmony....

Anon....this guy knows everything about music and he'll point you in the right direction. The recording I have -- honestly I don't know who's singing...but I could listen over and over again. Is it Davy? Is it Chip?

Je ne sais pas. The guy above will tell you who and what recording.

Thanks for stopping by and I love that carol so much.............!!!!

While searching for the same Monkees mp3 I found your blog post. I have not been successful, either, except to find it on youtube. Just go there and search for Monkees Riu Chiu.

I watched their inane, wacky Christmas show a week or so ago. Can't believe I used to watch them faithfully as a preteen. It ended with this BEAUTIFUL rendition of that carol. Sure don't remember that from my childhood but can't get enough of it now.

Happy Holidays.

Patricia, I think I can send it to you -- this is the studio version - pristine and clear. If you want to send me an email address, I will attempt to send it to you...

I think I can do that!
