"Crambone (Froggy Went a-Courtin'") -- Uncle Pecos (Shug Fisher)

Day 31 - Free parking!

I do notice when a song I posted deserves more love and then I forget by the next prompt so free parking it is! And I'm glad because I've been hoping I'd get to post this song but it's happened much sooner than expected

Paris Paloma giving the world yet another layered feminist anthem I might be a little bit in love with her. I must have streamed this song fifteen times in the last two days and watched the video close to ten times already and it's not even because of Richard Armitage, he's just a nice bonus.

Day 31 - Free parking!

Day 31 - Free parking!

This is the last song I added to my Spotify favorites list. I found it when thinking about the prompt from the song we used to listen to a lot. I went hunting to "Aussie Millenial Nostalgia" to see if I couldn't jump start some memories.

And boy did I ever!

I found some songs in there that still get me jumping around. I guess I truly am a protest synth punk pop rocker at heart.

Okay friends, so here's the deal- Bogey left a mega nerd in charge who just so happens to be ovulating, so she wants to get all sapiosexual on your ass.

So settle in, take a seat and come on a history lesson this week as you get to learn about the things I seem the coolest/most fascinating to have happened "on this day" for the next week and then I'll tangentially attach a song promt to it.

Deal?

Too bad. I'm doing it!

FEBRUARY 1

On Feb 1, 1884 (the U.S. release date), the first little “fascicle” of the Oxford English Dictionary was published, covering A–Ant. I love that this monumentally ambitious project began with “ant.” It started because the Philological Society basically decided the English dictionaries of the day weren’t cutting it and, in a very relatable move, chose violence: fine, we’ll make the correct one ourselves. They expected it to take 10 years. It took decades. (Again: relatable.)

Here’s why the OED is not just “a dictionary,” it’s a full-on word biography machine. It doesn’t only tell you what a word means today, it tracks what it meant then, and when it changed, using dated quotations as receipts. You get the timeline of a word’s life: first appearances, meaning drift, new senses popping up, old senses dying off, and the occasional resurrection. It’s cozy book-nerd heaven and also kind of thrilling, because it makes it impossible to pretend words are fixed objects. They’re alive. They mutate. They carry history. They are us, leaving linguistic fingerprints everywhere.

So today's prompt:

Day 1 : Post a song that spells something out loud in the lyrics (a name, a word, anything).

It can be one tiny moment, not the whole song.

Oops, in my excitement I accidentally saved prematurely.

Hang tight. Ugh.

Are you linking the OED? Jesus. Nerd. And I’ve posted philosophy memes tonight.

That was the first song that came to mind for me from the prompt too. I didn't source it fast enough, though. @Mr_bogey wins.

Sad when educational systems leave folks confused about the difference between spelling and just listing of letters.

I actually think it's a pretty cool answer, as it does spell out (by listing the letters) a language concept. I don't know that that says about the Australian education system

Yeah, I miss you all too.

It's nice to be remembered...
