I Begin This Blogging Blitz With a Funny Song...

Thanks to Mr. Schley, I started listening to the band House of Heroes and I'm quickly becoming a big fan. At times they remind me a bit of Relient K, but hopefully they are better behaved. Anyway, they write good music, and this is a particularly funny song off their album The End is Not the End, called "Baby's a Red." Since I'm not the biggest fan of free-market Capitalism (now don't go McCarthy on me), I greatly appreciate this song. It's not really hatin' on Capitalism, but still. It's funny. Go buy the album on iTunes.

"Baby's a Red"

"Oo oo little red,
With your heart in Stalingrad,
Oh, it kills me how they hate you,
But they just don't understand.
Oh red,
When they put me on the stand,
I will testify I loved you,
And I'm not ashamed to be your comrade.

Red, red, baby's a red,
She's blood red,
Baby's a red,
The feds said,
"Lock her in lead,
She's red," but I love her.

(Hammer and sickle on my mind.)

Oo oo little red,
It's not like McCarthy said,
Though we differ on religion,
We both support the working man.
Oh red, if the bombs fall on our lands,
Then our politics won't matter,
Only that I loved you until death.

(Hammer and sickle...)

Red, red, baby's a red,
She's blood red,
Baby's a red,
The feds said,
"Lock her in lead,
She's red," but I love her.

Oh, yea, baby's a red,
She's blood red,
Baby's a red,
The feds said,
"Lock her in lead,
She's red," but I love her.

I want to touch you, and I'm not afraid,
I want to touch you , and I'm not ashamed,
I want to tell you, that I'm not afraid,
They'll burn us at the stake!

I want to love you, and I'm not afraid,
I want to love you, and I'm not ashamed,
I want to love you, and I'm not afraid, oh baby.

Hammer and sickle on my mind.
Saint Petersburg in summer time.
Hammer and sickle on my mind.
Stars over Moscow shining bright.
Hammer and sickle on my mind.
The shores of Astrakhan are fine.
Hammer and sickle on my mind.

Red, red, baby's a red,
She's blood red,
Baby's a red,
The feds said,
"Lock her in lead,
She's red," but I love her. "
