Rentertainment

Le Grande Mermaid has recently expanded her musical repertoire to songs outside of Disney and Sing-A-Long. She has proven to have an outstanding capacity for recall, repetition, and pop-culture.
Recently over breakfast we were riffing acapella on one of her latest from the pop artist, Pink. I got the first solo:

I’m not here for your entertainment. I don’t wanna…

Daddy?! [interrupting] No it’s not that! It’s
‘I’m not here for your RENTertainment’

Oh. Sorry, I didn’t…
[leaning over to Mommy and whispering into her ear]
He is so crazy, he is ALWAYS getting the words wrong.

She has plenty of evidence for her conclusion including (but not limited to) her own genetics.

  1. “She has plenty of evidence for her conclusion including (but not limited to) her own genetics.”

    Are you referring to the well-publicized assertion by the Resident Grandson, Paco? [Abuelo; es loco Abuelito!]

  2. I don’t understand the problem. Sometimes lyrics just don’t make sense. Like the Paul Simon lyrics,:

    “it’s a still life watt to color,
    of a now late afternoon.”

  3. sorry…I was recalling the song Life in the Fast Lane and sometimes it sounds like the singer is singing lice in the vaseline. I am coming off a fever so I am loopier than usual.

  4. Sorry to have jumped in here with that “Huh?” remark in response to “lice in the Vaseline”. Don’t try to “enlighten” me by referencing “Life in the Fast Lane”. I’ve been out of the fast lane now for nigh onto 30 years. That may have been before “Life in the Fast Lane” was popular.

    Seriously, what is the whole line of the song from which your memory derives the “lice in the Vaseline” interpretation?
