♪♫ Hit it!
This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos
Of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits

They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause

[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
before blowing and cursing them out
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on
the floor

And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads

Chorus

Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty
cars
The sun and the moon but

Chorus ♪♫

This isn't Sheryl Crow's music style. This is Kevin Gilbert's music style.  Listen to Toy Matinee, Taming of the Shrew and Thud albums. Gilbert wrote this. He is an amazing poet, singer songer writer. Kevin Gilbert disrespects the whole music industry on his thematic album, Shaming of the True. Kevin Gilbert is an artist.

[ELGROOVER]

Thanks for the Kevin Gilbert tip, Matthew. I hadn't heard of him. ('Revelator2025' has three of his numbers recently posted up). Just checked out a couple of 'Thud' tracks and something from the 'Nuts' album. He's a quality artist alright who should appeal to listeners of Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel and the like....excellent music. Cheers! ☺ ;-j

Is th@ Latin 'o'r is th@ Latino-; ? Prompted by 'imnotanameimalongnumber' quite possibly? I say *baah* to them, a trouble maker not worth stirring. Obviously they know little of Sheryl & only know how to crow. Not so much vicious as uninformed & mistaken.

This is one of Sheryl's light observational ditties. Not th@ she gets heavy as such, but she does do some nice easy philosophical songs th@ are hardly deep but aren't so superfical to tag her as a sheep.

'evolution699' = '996noitulove' ☺

I was 36 when this came out. The music is great! Her vocal is good, but the musicianship is what attracted me. It is so silky smooth. My 30s were a great time in my life. My 50s are alright, but I was thinner and healthier then. They still maqde some good music in the 90s. Todays music for the most part is awful.

This song brings back the fondest memories of my youth. (:

This CD of mine is so scratched and wrecked that I can't even play it anymore!
