I am not the big “rah-rah” Vikings season ticket enthusiast as I once was. Call me weathered, tainted, and war torn. From last year’s devastating NFC title loss to a Super Bowl victory by the archrival, border battle nemesis from Green Bay, the spirit of Vikings fans have quelled.

After watching a YouTube video on the local news last night, Read more…

This song was featured in one of my all-time favorite movies, the Rookie, which was the story of Jim Morris.

Morris was a highly-touted baseball prospect, who was hampered by a shoulder injury and was unable to fulfill his dreams of playing in the majors. Read on…

So who is, was, will be Chelsea Rodgers? One of the more intriguing speculation claimed that Prince, in this song & video below, was really singing about himself, stating that if “you just listen to the words of his music (read the lyrics below) you might actual get to know him.” Regardless the music is great, and the video is quintessential Prince:

I don’t really know, who Chelsea Rodgers is, nor do I care all that much, but back when this song came out in 2007, the rumors were rampant. Read on…

This song by DJ Steve Porter, speaks for itself. It will be on my tailgate lot mixes from this point forward; the ultimate Randy Moss YouTube mash-up. I give an A plus, and still wish that Superfreak was wearing purple.

Sing along with the Lyrics at play this loud at the Metrodome:

But before I get to questions man I’d like to say something
Everybody one clap
Pull your 84 jerseys out, I’m back home
Pull your 84 jerseys out, Read on…

Birdhouse in Your Soul by the band “They Might Be Giants” is one of my all time favorite sings. I almost forgot about this song, until a recent episode of Showtime’s Weeds reminded me of how cool it is.

I remember jammin out the FLOOD album back in the early 90′s, and putting this song on almost every mix tape I made for that era. From Wikipedia I learned that Birdhouse it “tells the story, in very abstract terms, of a nightlight with the appearance of a blue canary, from the point of view of the nightlight itself.”

It’s definitely a happy song with a positive psychological message. As the song fades, the line “while you’re at it, keep the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul” echoes the chorus, essentially telling the listener to keep all the good things that provide light in their soul protected.

It’s a great tune for your kids to jam out with, and provides a parent the opportunity to read the lyrics with their kids, and help them find that “Happy Place.”
