I mentioned that for me, the highlight of the Blondie set was probably the song “Atomic.” It’s just a great song. There is a line that goes, “Oh, your hair is beautiful, oh tonight...atomic.” In the not-so-distant past, Shane and I have been known to change words in songs to silly stuff (Remember the Crouton!), and Shane informed me via email that him and Matt have been doing that with “Atomic.” Their ideas cracked me up: Oh, your square is beautiful, oh tonight, geometric.
Oh, your friend is beautiful, oh tonight, platonic.
Oh, your strength is beautiful, oh tonight, bionic.
Oh, your jew is beautiful, oh tonight, hasidic.
Oh, your dome is beautiful, oh tonight, geodesic.
Oh, your pain is beautiful, oh tonight, analgesic.
Oh, your knowledge is beautiful, oh tonight, pedantic.
So I came up with some, too:
Oh, your cross is beautiful, oh tonight, iconic.
Oh, your satire is beautiful, oh tonight, ironic.
Oh, your jet is beautiful, oh tonight, supersonic.
Oh, your diphthongs are beautiful, oh tonight, hookedonphonics.
Oh, your devil is beautiful, oh tonight, demonic.
Oh, your memory is beautiful, oh tonight, mnemonic.
Oh, your yogurt is beautiful, oh tonight, probiotic.
Oh, your cell is beautiful, oh tonight, mitotic.
Oh, your plague is beautiful, oh tonight, bubonic.
As I said, this is just super silly stuff, but if you love wordplay, you’ll understand. Maybe you’ll even want to play along! If you can think of some, please leave them in the comments so Shane and Matt and I can get some more laughs.
Oo, I just thought of another one:
Oh, your moron is beautiful, oh tonight, idiotic.
Haha! No comments about how that is apropos for this post, okay?
