Lyrics Of The Day

"30 Century Man":
See the dwarfs and see the giants,
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together,
Here's the answer, here's the key

You can freeze like a 30 century man,
Like a 30 century man

I'll save my bread and take it with me,
'Til a hundred years or so
Shame you won't be there to see me
Shakin' hands with Charles de Gaulle

Play it cool and saran-wrap all you can,
Be a 30 century man
You can freeze like a 30 century man,
Like a 30 century man
The song is originally by Scott Walker, but personally I think his version blows. The Jigsaw Seen definitely did a better cover of it. Call me a sissy, but I always get emotional when it's played in Bender's Big Score, at the scene when Fry realizes he is actually Lars and then runs out of his building, shouting "Wait for me, Leela! I'll be there in a thousand years!".

Off-topic- why is it that I want to do something nice for the environment and I have to be penalized for it? I want to be nice and recycle my old monitor that is so big it should be paying taxes, but I have to pay $10 for it? And then be given a $10 gift card to Worst Buy? I don't buy at Worst Buy anymore! And unfortunately I don't know anyone else that does either to even sell them my gift card! ARGH! Why not just give me a Visa gift card?
