Babylon Spitzer, Eliot Spitzer Prostitution Ring

"Babylon Spitzer" is a mashup of Eliot Spitzer, and Steely Dan's Babylon Sisters, "so fine, so young, tell him he's the only one..."

Drive west on Sunset to the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town
This is no one night stand
It's a real occassion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay

Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one

Here come those Santa Anna winds again

We'll jog with show folk on the sand
Drink kirschwasser from a shell
San Francisco Show and Tell
Well I should know by now that it's just a spasm
Like a Sunday in T.J.
That it's cheap but it's not free
That I'm not what I used to be
And that love's not a game for three

[chorus]

[solo]

My friends say no don't go for that cotton candy
Son you're playing with fire
The kid will live and learn
As he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return

[chorus]

The protagonist is invited to a wild beach party with a change to get 'involved' with two young girls - 'babylon sisters'. Babylon because they will all 'sin' together. They party, have an indulgent time, but it all becomes very complicated quickly, as it always does when more than 2 people become involved romantically (for young women, sex usually leads to romance).
He quickly realizes he can't keep up ("I'm not what I used to be, and love's not a game for three"). His friends warned him, that it's just like a Sunday in Tijuana - cheap but not free. The effects can have grave implications. In Tijuana you can get arrested for the drugs/girls that draw you there. Relationships with 2 women can destroy your personal life.
It could be that he simply cheated with a younger woman at the party, and the guilt and shame is destroying his main relationship. i.e. when his woman asks him to 'tell him she's the only one', he can't control the guilt.

I've been in both situations, and the song applies to either pretty seemlessly.

Wonderful.

God bless my fellow Bard College grads (whoops, I forgot to hang in there for a diploma).

What wonderful music!

"And I'm never goin back to my old school"...

(Check out our "My Old Skull" video tribute to that song)

What's the hope in showing Sen. Clinton repeatedly in association with Gov. Spritzer? What does Clinton have to do with Spizter and prostitution? This seems to be more anti-Hillary propaganda than a commentary on Spizter.

[thesquonkstear]

What's "the Hope"?

The hope was using the "good name" he built on other people's back-side's to help that particular Senator come bogart NY and play spring board back to D.C. That was "the hope."

Newsflash-- Spitzer was no Thomas Dewey, and Hillary is no FDR. "Capeesh?"

everyones forgived in the end, unless you're like hitler

[jhk1987]

very poetic

Speaking of ain't goin' back, my wife and I paid a visit to the site in October 2006, and found out - again - that fools with too much money end up making asses out of themselves.

From someone - it might have been a clown by the name of Fisher (Morgan Stanley cue ball; deceased) - and Soros is also a suspect -

They got their hands on a lot of dough and completely ruined the campus with multi-million dollar sterille outhouses.

I'd love to hear S.D.'s song on that fiasco.

Be well.

Hasta la vista chico de drivers licensias de illegales.

Traitor!

Praise Jesus this SOB got caught.

Ani lo mevin, lama? Such a talented and devoted wife.

Wire fraud = felony

Malfeasance = prosecuting one criminal enterprise and using the services of the other.

Prison, we can only pray he meets the same amount of mercy he doled out, is where he belongs.

hallelujah!

chrissy is hot

[thesquonkstear]

noinfidel, misses a major point of "Eliot's excellent adventure". As gov of NY, he put himself in a position to be blackmailed by a criminal enterprise.

If he was willing to ethically cut corners in the first place, who could be sure where it ends. Rather than justify his behavior with the old "human need" thing (the day before Valentine's), focus on the higher standard we rightfully have for our leaders that he ignored.

It was highly egotistical, something to work on out of office.

[calmemaggie]

he does not deserve forgiveness....did he have enough compassion to do that for others?

He should be tried as a child predator...He was married and would it be ok if his wife did that.......of course not....she is a beautiful woman and he does not deserve her....he has a face like the back end of a horse. Give him what he was willing to give others......JAIL

[noinfidel]

so wtf do you say? If he has an adorable wife he cant have sex with anyone else? He did not rape anyone, he was just trying to have fun with life. He should be blamed for cracking on prostitution in the first place, he might be learning from his mistakes. Let us forgive him?
