Oh... that helps a lot... I still think that's a KT in 'er 'ear,
though.

But how do you know for sure?  I think it's "Samantha".

Oh... "New encounters spark a true fruition."

Oh... I thought maybe he said "Fooled 'em again," but that
didn't sound quite right.

Well, I have often heard of David Byrne being described as
writing "intelligent lyrics," etc., just as "Diane" is often
described as "intelligent," but so far I haven't been able to
find anything very unusual about his lyrics at all.  Maybe I'm
looking at the wrong ones?  (I just saw a video of him tonight).

Who are you blech-o'ing, "Melanie" or "Martha"?  If the latter,
gee, how can you say that?

Uh-oh... see below:

Sounds that way to me... I wonder what Kate Bush would think...

You mean the one where she sticks out her tongue and acts like a
bat?  Well, now, I would say "Blech-O" to that one for sure! 
Not to mention the drawing on the other side.

Well, when I drive to work each morning, I see all these
children walking to school, and they are wearing strange
clothes: fluorescent orange shoes, shirts with unnatural colors
of paint spotted on them, and unnatural shapes. "Why do people
dress this way," I ask myself... and I figure it must be "punk
rock".  Well, musicians dress that way nowadays too.  What ever
happened to "earth tones", natural shapes, and so on? That is
how people dressed when *I* was young.

What's an O-level?

It is if you have endless questions about etymology, like I do.

Don't forget "Pork and Salted Cabbage at Four Five Six at the

"one moment you think you are listening to the classics, and the
next it is the hard rock, the very hard rock".
