It’s that time of year again, yet still no Christmas On Mars

Posted on Monday, December 18, 2006 in Ask EightAndFive, Movies, Music

martianWayne1.jpgSomeday I’m sure the Flaming Lips will get around to releasing Christmas On Mars, a film they’ve been working on for five years and completed filming in October 2005. This marks the third Christmas in a row that I thought it might be coming out, but it turns out that Santa is just a giant cocktease. Maybe in 2007.

  1. Dude, santa would need to do some serious modification to his sled before he could take it to mars.

  2. Daddy, Justin called Santa a “cocktease”. What’s a cocktease?

  3. Boring! Boring! Boring! Boring!

  4. Nothing Ever Happens On Mars

    Nothing ever happens on Mars
    No sports or entertainment, or swinging bars
    You stand around, you stand some more
    On a planet names for a Roman god of war

    Nothing ever happens on Mars
    No supersonic airplanes, no sporty cars
    The sun comes up, the sun goes down
    You can’t go to the country, you can’t go to town

    Boring…Boring…Boring…Boring
    Boring…Boring…Boring…Boring

    Stool Boom

    By the pool. In the school by the fires of yule.
    It’s the rule, there’s a stool, there’s a stool.
    Stools are where, once upon a time you’d find a chair.
    A chair’s for fools, everybody wants stools…

    Stool Boom. From the parlor to the pool room. We’re the center of a stool boom… everyone knows our name.

    Working, building, never stopping, never sleeping.
    Working, making. Some for selling, some for keeping.

    You will drool at the splendor of these magic stools. It’s the rule, everyone has a stool.
    Just three legs, it’s the thing for which a monarch begs. Hock your jewels, use the money for stools.

    Stool Boom, just three legs and watch the sales zoom
    Like a fever it’s a stool boom, and it’s spreading out from Blaine

    Working building, never stopping, never sleeping.
    Working, making, some for selling, some for keeping.

    A Penny For Your Thoughts

    I would still pay. . .
    A penny for your thoughts
    A dime for your dreams
    Would a shiny new quarter buy a peek at your schemes?

    And when you are away
    So far from my side
    I will cherish my pennies worth
    Till at last I’m your bride

    A penny for your thoughts
    Let’s call it a deal
    I don’t have any secrets
    You know how I feel

    A penny for your thoughts
    It’s settled and done
    I’d have offered a million
    I’d have done it for none

    I recon we’re in love
    And married we’ll be
    And all for a penny
    A bright copper penny
    The penny that brought you to me
