Self Discovery!

I was having a bit of down time at work (no one in the office this morning to say "hey, what are you doing?") and wondered if there were any songs written with my name in it. I am thinking along the lines of "Oh Sherry" by Journey, "Rosanna" by Toto, "Allison" by Elis Costello, you get the idea. A song by a musician that loves that lady so much he has to croon/rock/whine about it. Well I found the only Heidi song out there without "Heidi heidi heidi hoe" in it, like to hear it here it goes:

"Heidi is a Headcase" by the Ramones.

WHAT!? On one hand, that is very awesome because the Ramones rock! On the other hand, it figures. No sweet ballands for my name, just a dire warning of the antics of an unstable lady. Here are the lyrics:

Headcase baby
She's a cool kind of crazy
Wild and she's willing
(It's an early Dylan)

She drives me crazy, oh yeah

When I look into her big blue eyes
I'm so glad to know she's mine
My little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, my little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Heidi is a headcase, a rebel and a rouser
Blasts away for hours
What's she doin' now on the escalator
Snorting up some speed on the picture of St. Peters

What 'cha doin'?

When I look into her big blue eyes
I'm so glad to know she's mine
My little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, my little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Ooh, baby baby, whatever you do now
Don't ever go away

Ooh, baby baby, whatever you do now
Don't you ever go astray
Don't you ever go away - ooh, ooh, yea

Heidi is a headcase



Well there you have it. I have to say that middle bit on the escalator makes me sound very much like an SNL sloth.

Lovable, but problematic.
