for everyone

A fish out of water, a stranger in a strange land, an alien, moving in and out among The Normals, sometimes undetected, many times not. Sometimes the scent of different hangs around and The Normals pick up on it and pick on it. Sometimes the scent is deoderized and neutralized.

Or are The Normals a myth? Maybe there are no such people. Given the variety of this list, we fish out of water inhabit many worlds...pops singers, country singers, comedians, artists, christians, agnostics...all have felt the sting of different. Some have embraced it.

So here are some songs with the (sometimes vague) theme of not fitting in. I hope you enjoy them.

Rachel Delevoryas	Stories	Randy Stonehill
Moon Over Bourbon Street	All This Time	Sting
Boy Blue	True Colors	Cyndi Lauper
Eleanor Rigby	Style	Tonic Sol-Fa
Hideaway	The Circus	Erasure
jesus' brother bob	w...w...w...	the arrogant worms
These Old Bones	Halos & Horns	Dolly Parton
Vincent (Starry Starry Night)	American Pie	Don McLean
My Mother Had A Brother	Twenty Five	George Michael
The Lemonade Song	Mitch McVicker	Mitch McVicker
Scorn Not His Simplicity	Universal Mother	Sin饌d O'Connor
Smalltown Boy	QAFCB	Bronski Beat

Moon Over Bourbon Street and Starry Starry Night are on my personal list of favourites. The others I have only passing familiarity with. Thanks for posting 'em!

I too know what it is to be a stranger in a strange land. But that seems, if you stop and think about it, in a way normal. All of which reminds me oddly enough of a Mike Warnke riff:

Weird stuff is Weird stuff when it happens where Normal stuff is supposed to happen. Normal stuff is, of course, Normal stuff when it happens where Normal stuff is supposed to happen. But! Weird stuff is Normal stuff when it happens where Weird stuff is supposed to happen. And Normal stuff is Weird stuff when it happens where Weird stuff is supposed to happen.

Which just goes to show that a fish in water is wholly unremarkable. So, let us celebrate the Weird stuff, however it may come about.

Thanks for dropping by my site. I love that you are here and I love that you are looking at, listening to, and reading my stuff. Here are some things you should know before you start browsing around:

1. If you see something that makes you want to comment, add a reply...most pages here have the option to add your own reply to them, and sometimes an interesting discussion gets started.Come Talk To Me!

2.Video on this site is all in the DivX format.Go towww.divx.comand click where it says "Free Download" and follow the directions. When installing it, the only thing you need checked off is "Divx Codec"...Windows Media player will play the video once this is installed and you'll be able to see the video (instead of just hearing it).

3. Text inblueis clickable. It might lead to another site or it might download a song that goes with my blog somehow. So when you see text inblue, you can click on it and see where it takes you.
