It’s a mistake – Men at Work

It’s a mistake – Men at Work

I wouldn’t know anything about Miss Universe 2015 if it weren’t for Steve Harvey.

Jump down the shelters to get away

The boys are cockin’ up their guns

Tell us General is it party time?

If it is can we all come?

Don’t think that we don’t know

Don’t think that we’re not tryin’, no no no

Don’t think we move too slow

It’s no use after cryin’

Sayin’ “It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake

It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake”

After the laughter has died away

And all the boys have had their fun

No surface noise now, not much to say

They’ve got the bad guys on the run

Don’t try to say you’re sorry

Don’t say he drew his gun

They’ve gone and grabbed old Ronnie

He’s not the only one

Sayin’, “It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake

It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake”

Tell us commander, what do you think?

‘Cos we know that you love all that power

Is it on then, are we on the brink?

We wish you’d all throw in the towel

We’ll not fade out too soon

Not in this finest hour

Whistle your favorite tune

We’ll send a card and flower

Sayin’, “It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake

It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake”

It’s a mistake, it’s a mistake

WBEZ’s The Morning Shift, has been running a segment on their show called “My life in three songs”. Some people said they were able to come up with three songs immediately. I love music and many genres, but I couldn’t think of three songs. I kept looking through playlists, CDs, and was about to dig through my vinyl. Then I remembered that a handful of my #MusicMonday posts were more than just ‘hey here’s a song I like and here’s the lyrics’. The first song/post I picked is Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It’s not only a good song but the post will explain how I relate to it.

Fortunate Son – CCR

The second song is Don’t stop believing by Journey. The first reason I picked this song is because I’m a Red Wings fan. The post linked below explains that for those who don’t know. The song also has another relationship to my life. You have to believe in yourself. I wouldn’t be where I am now if I didn’t believe in myself. I grew up relatively poor with no expectation to go to college. I knew we couldn’t afford it and I wasn’t going to get an athletic or academic scholarship. Several student loans later, which I’ll lament about later, and I’ve been a scientist at two of Chicago’s premier universities for over a decade.

Don’t stop believing – Journey

The last song is Echoes part 1 by Pink Floyd. I’m a big Pink Floyd fan and most of the friends I’ve made on Google Plus grew from talking about Pink Floyd. If you look at Rajini Rao’s and Gnotic Pasta’s profiles, would you guess we all became good friends because of Pink Floyd? So I had to pick a Pink Floyd song, but which one? What about Dogs? I love dogs; I post a lot about dogs. What about Comfortably numb? I chose Echoes because it’s a great song and I use echoes all the time. You’ll have to read my MRI 101 post to figure out how echoes related to MRI.

Have a great #MusicMonday and I challenge you to tell me your life in three songs.
