Condi Rice… Cake’s Dream?
Filed under: General — nobrainer @ 6:52 pm

All day long Drudge has had this picture of Condi Rice:

Each time I see it I think of the first song on Cake’s Fashion Nugget CD.

the lyrices to “Short Skirt, Long Jacket”:

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what’s best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
who is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack,
She is playing with her jewelry, she is putting up her hair
She is touring the facility
and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough and sharp as a tack,
She is touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong,
loooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

I want a girl with smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
At Citi Bank we will meet accidently
We will start to talk when she borrows my pen
She wants a car with a cup holder armrest
She wants a car that will get her there
She is changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She is trading her MG for a white, Chrysler LeBaron
I want a girl with a short skirt and a
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

I actually don’t think that Cake had envisioned this.

collapse Doug Stewart Says:

One of the best songs ever.

Shortly followed by (also by Cake): “Sheep Go To Heaven”, then “Little Red Light” and “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne.

 
collapse Doug Stewart Says:

Looks like someone over at Best of the Web is reading your mind.

Heh.

 
collapse Evan Says:

Why is this a big deal?? Inspired by HBO’s non-stop Matrix marathon, she decided to dress like Neo. Conversation over.

 
collapse Nobrainer Says:

It’s no big deal in my book. I don’t think it ought to be a big deal in anyone’s book. But I can understand why it can grab headlines. To my knowledge, there have never been any female world leaders who could pull of some sex appeal. If there have been, I can still not think of any who have actually exploited that power, even if just a little bit.

So chalk another one up for “useless news”.

 
collapse Wha Says:

Margret Fletcher on a cold day, Margaret Fletcher on a cold day!

 
collapse nobrainer Says:

Do you mean Margaret Thatcher?

 
collapse Wha Says:

yeah, I have been working and studying all night along with de-shitifing my computer. I am fried. However, Martin Fletcher (NBC News - Tel Aviv) accomplishes about the same thing. I basically had a wha moment and combined the two names, knowing Fletcher didn’t sound right but was close. Believe it or not, the Margaret Thatcher thing does work though.
