Twisted Mix-Tape Tuesday: So, your life is like a Country Song ... Shake It Off!!!


So, you're feeling down and out.  The world is your enemy and your underwear is crawling up your butt.  No one loves you, you're all alone, and we all would be better off if you just committed suicide.  God, you're pathetic!


Seriously, what's got you so down and out?  Don't you know that you don't have to keep the weight of the world's problems on your shoulders.  There's many others that think the world of you that want to help.  Why not give them a chance?


When we're alone, everything seems insurmountable.  Still, like I just said a minute ago, you're not alone.  Give us a chance to share your problems and talk things out.  
We're here for you!


Get out of the house a while.  Get outside and see the world around you.  People aren't hanging around feeling sorry for themselves.  They're getting out and getting busy doing things they love to do.  C'mon, let's go have some fun!


You're still having a hard time with this, aren't you?  Why do you insist on looking at only the bad things in life.  There's a multitude of beauty around you.  The sun, the grass, the birds, the neighbor's kids!  Well, let's forget about the kids. (They're ugly suckers, aren't they?)  Still, get off your butt and experience another side of life!


I don't know about you, but this is really helping me.  Yeah, you're the one with the problems and depression, and I'm the one feeling better.  
Damn it, I can't help it … I Feel Good!!!


Time for you to come out of your shell!  Shed the old and accept the new.  Forget the past and look to the future.  Use what you've learned to make the years ahead some of the best years of your life! 


Now you're getting it!  Smile a while!  Add a little zip to your step!  Swing those hips and arms and let the world see that nothing's gonna ever get you down again!!


By jove I think you've got it!  Keep it going!  You've only just begun!


By the way, now that you're feeling better, what got you down?  You've gained a little weight?  Where?  Don't you know it happens to just about everyone as you get older.  Don't worry about it at all.  I like it!


Awww, c'mon, why are you mad, again?

Ciao!

  1. You had me at the James Brown and sealed the deal with I Like to Move It. My son and I get up and shake our butts to that song every time we watch Madagascar.

    1. Dream - "Move It" has always been one of those songs that I don't want to like, but can't help myself. lol "I Feel Good" is James Brown's signature song that immediately tells you there's no one with more funk than he, regardless of popular opinion. Glad you enjoyed! Many Thanks!

    1. Keri - I try! lol Nothing like a twist at the end, right? "I'm Too Sexy" is one of those songs that will haunt you for days if you let it. Still, it's one of those songs that will get you smiling, too, as the artists in the video are so plastic it's ridiculous! Okay ... together now ... "I'm too sexy for myself, too sexy ......" lol Many Thanks!

    1. Katherine - I don't get the images on my I-Phone, either. Even the computer at work won't show them with the security programming it has. However, have not had any problems with any laptops or PC's, nor any reports of such. Sorry you came here and weren't able to be entertained!

  5. Dude. You totally crack me up! This post was fantastic! I totally miss the song Breakout. I hated it when it was popular because I was managing a store where the musak must have played this song every 20 songs, but now I feel nostalgic when I hear it. And that Tierra? LOL, those were the days...

    1. Jen - You never know what I'm going to come up with! I can say that honestly, basically because I never plan and just let it flow, so I don't even know what's going to be there until it's done! lol I was always afraid "Breakout" would classify me as homosexual, so I listened to it in my car only for years. "Together", well, I borrowed that album on a no return basis from a station I was the music director of, and knew it wouldn't fit our format. Tierra was one of those hidden groups that could really play great music, but no one played it often. C'est le Vie! Glad you liked this one! Many Thanks!

    1. Starr - Thanks for stopping in! You caught one of my short posts. (Aren't you the lucky one!) Glad you enjoyed this one. Tried to say a lot by saying only a little. Of course, I had to have a surprise at the end. :) Many Thanks!
