Get to Know You

A few of the Winnie crew were/are out at the Pemberton Music Festival (a 3 day camping/music fest. near Whistler, BC) right now- expect to hear all about the party when they return.. .
Moving on. . On sundays (and/or everydays) I like to make hash browns and watch 80’s movies- Enter Cusak’s “Better Off Dead” and the dopest Howard Jones track you’ll ever hear.. well unless you buy the Best of Howard Jones album, which has seven wicked songs.. . On a mildly interesting note, even though this song was the feature of a pivotal montage scene, it did not make it on to the official soundtrack for B.O.D. (abrev. for Better off Dead)… . well TTYL.

Not To Be Confused With
For the record this site has nothing to do with: The Wonder Years, Kevin Arnold, Danica McKellar or any of these other Winnie Cooper knockoffs. We are the original. We invented the phrase “Winnie Cooper” which, btw, is not some devious sexual act, it’s a medical term for people who have to be hospitalized from staring at a computer screen for too long. Fact. Don’t believe me? look it up. The internet never lies.
Definitely not to be confused with this site, www.winniecooper.COM
or this Australian hip hop band, although we do like their name.

Droppin bombs is my job. Here’s a grab bag of new tunes I’ve been jammin lately. I always leave the good stuff for Winnie.
Joachim Garraud-Are U Ready (Laidback Luke Remix)
People Falling over is sooo funny
Yes, it’s true I am cruel and heartless, but that’s okay because so are you.
It’s funny when Carmen Electra falls because when she married Dave Navarro (who has a soul patch), they sent out wedding invitations with a picture of them both naked on it and professed their disgusting, sick love for each other on their reality tv show (which sucked) and now they’re divorced. ahahahaha (it’s so fun being mean).
This one is great because a Shaolin Monk does some crazy sword flip thing, almost cutting his dick off and makes a hole in the runway in the process. Unfortunately they forget to tell the talent to watch out for it.
Swish, swish, swish, go the frilly red pants.
This might be the best ever.
Just to keep it all music related, here’s Rich Boy throwing some D’s a little too hard.
AHAHAHA, I could watch this stuff all day but I don’t because im too busy slingin mix tapes.

Bonjour? Hello?
Ever wonder why French dance music is so good? It’s not their berets, tight pants, or Karl Lagerfeld. It’s because the rest of their music sounds like it’s lyrics are from a sexual magnetic poetry kit.
Maybe it started with Serge Gainsbourg’s breathy, “Je t’aime,” which, by the way, is about bum sex. Serge also recorded a song with his daughter about incest.
Even France’s first lady Carla Bruni released her own whispery sex anthem cd’s.
Carla Bruni - Quelqu’un m’a dit
with lyrics like, “You are my junk…. More deadly than Afghan heroin. More dangerous than Colombian white powder”…. “My guy, I roll him up and smoke him.”
Perhaps French dance music is the result of these pent up sexual quivers? With all that sexual poetry music you need something on the opposite end to balance out the musical spectrum.
Take this 1975 track for example, Nanette Corey is a French porn actress who recorded the track “Viens dans ma bouche” which means “come in my mouth” for all you Anglos.
Nanette Corey - Viens dans ma bouche (come in my mouth)
Here’s some of Nanette’s lyrics translated so you can Karaoke along “en englais”.
“give me…my mouth is for you, love me, come into my mouth”
“when I was little I used to suck my thumb…but I like it better when your thumb is in my mouth”
“come into my mouth…Aaaaah Aaaaah”
There’s even a whole blog dedicated to the genre, “Filles Sourires”.
Maybe France’s short work week results in lots of dirty whispering? If I had more spare time I’d totally lay down some whisper tracks on my Garage Band.
