Sep. 21st, 2003 12:31 amAt "home," in the sense of "my parents' house where I have to sleep in the HAMMOCK in the basement if I want any sort of quiet during my normal sleepshift." Self-editing is going pretty well, and there was much hilarity at the expense of #2 brother (things he said to his girlfriend include 'You're a lot of things that I don't call you' and 'I got no reason to look at you!') and general hilarity. Lots of reminders why I love my family, which is of the good.
But the real reason I'm posting this is that this is my first chance since realizing it last night to post the following: "Superman" by Five for Fighting is the most blindingly obviously appropriate Benton Fraser Theme Song ever (even better than the one in the pilot, I think)
( Here's the lyrics... )
Of course he probably would balk at referring to the serge as 'a silly red sheet,' but I imagine that's just the endpoint on the slippery slope that begins with admitting that it's not easy to be him.
The fact that 'inside of me,' the place where the song's protagonist is looking for special things, tends, in American Pop Music Sung English, to be pronounced something like 'In-saaaahd uh me,' and thus resembles 'in sodomy,' i.e. a homosexual relationship with my hot cop partner, is totally irrelevant to my opinion of the Fraser-ness of the song.
