My old laptop is happily grinding away on a job which modern kit will do seemingly in an instant. However my laptop as it’s powered by several knackered small pixies is much less efficient. So time to do a post. But which thread to go down, quite a few to pick.
Then an idea.
Last night talking to son about chance and the story of the person who lived life by the toss of a coin. As son said “a poor copy of Two Faced Harvey from Batman”. So why don’t I let chance decide. But too many options for a coin. What else can I find which is random. Alexa.
Asking the ever helpful Alexa straight up to choose for me failed. Then another idea. When I ask her to select a track from from music library ….. that’s random. So the idea firmed up. I will ask Alexa to play a song and I can use song lyrics to guide today’s post. If it’s an instrumental than I will just post a photo no words. If it’s a French or German or Italian or Spanish language lesson then I will have to post in that language.
On the surface it’s a brilliant idea. Even if I don’t have an idea some of the artists will send floods of creativity coming my way. Imagine the possibilities opened by some of the lyrics by artists like Pink Floyd, The Who, Leonard Cohen, Rush, Bruce Springsteen, Genesis, Kate Bush…
But in life you need balance. So for every Robert Plant or Green Day you need a Ted Nugent to bring balance. Then my thoughts cascades to some of the less favourable lines I might be presented with.
“Only time will tell if we will stand the test of time” – Van Halen
“This sex is on fire” – The Killers
“Let me put my love into you Babe” – AC/DC
“You pull the trigger of my love gun” – Kiss
“Pink ’cause your so very” – Aerosmith
“Love is like a bomb, baby, c’mon get it on” – Def Leppard
“Bang you head against the stage like you never have before” – Metallica
“All right. It’s Zee Wango, Zee Tango” – Ted Nugent
“Kiss my ass” – Ted Nugent
“I let my dog hump on my shin” – Ted Nugent
“Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” – Ted again….
“Awwwww yup” – him again
“That tofu might just kill you” – and again him….
I have to admit even the greats have some odd moments with songs. See AC/DC. But also see the likes of Zeppelin with the Lemon Song. So with trepidation I ask Alexa to select.
But I’ve taken this long waffling my laptop has finished its task so need to get back to earning some money. So the
Next post will be based on this song ……
It must have been late at night..???
Anyway… Good Luck with the school this morning!!
Go get ’em Tiger! 🙂 😸

Thanks. Some lyrical wonders here. The scary thing is that I could have listed some better ones, unfortunately they failed the decency filter….

Now I understand your other post, which I read earlier. I don’t have much experience with Alexas so I am not sure how they work. Do you load up your own playlist? Did you choose those songs to be in your Alexa’s memory?

You can either use something like Amazon Music or Bluetooth your own music store. I’m going to see what Alexa says on Sunday when I ask her if she will bake me a cake….
