Parody "Tangerine" (to the tune of Bush's "Glycerine")

"Tangerine"
Your "strong thick" skin orange in tint
It can't be for real 'cause Cheetos can't speak
And Cheetos mind
Syracuse too
Not to mention the street cones

Thoughts are white
And the heart's black
Standing there spraying your back
You want this
I don't know why
High school prom always your alibi

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine

You're never at home
You're at the (tanning) booth all the time
Are you asleep like on your wedding night?
You live in a world
That doesn't seem real
Willy Wonka telling you what to do

If you didn't follow through
He'd turn the rest against you
Oompa Loompas turning their backs
Ready to sue

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way
You could accept yourself
Instead of fulfilling your odd dream
Appearing like a fruit, like a fruit

Tangerine
Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine

Don't let your skin go white

Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

Orange man white again
Orange man white again
No, I'm just kidding

You wanted it more
You needed it less
Spraying yourself from head to toe
It might be an addiction
Or something Freud couldn't explain
He'd say fine
Just give me some cocaine

Don't let your skin go white
It doesn't have to be this way, this way, this way

Tangerine

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
