The drugs don't work, they just make you worse

Having just read a post on the XKCD blag which mentioned the drug Vicodin, I've been trying to remember the lyrics to Queens of the Stone Age's Feelgood Hit of the Summer (which also contain Vicodin). Yes, I can google for the lyrics, but right now I'm trying to tease the information out of the back of my brain.

"Something, something, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol."

Unfortunately, my somewhat morning brain is supplying me with:

"Antimony, arsenic, aluminum... Vicodin, marijuana..."

What a great bootleg that would make.

Obviously a sudden sprint down the stairs and into the street to put the recycling out for the rapidly-approaching council collection jolted my brain into action:

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to QotSA...

There may be many more, in fact I hope there's lots and lotser.

I think that deserves applause and groaning in approximately equal measures (rather like the original...)

Thankyou! I could only remember 'Nicotine...dahdedah...' on reading your post.

[snork] Great, that's going to be stuck in my head.

Worse, thanks to my own post above, I now seem to be singing "Yes sir! I can google!". Sometimes I wish my mind didn't work quite that way.

"I can google. Google-woogle... all night long...!"

augh! -- I wish you hadn't seeded that.

There's plenty more where that came from :)

The shareef don't like it... Lock the taskbar! Lock the taskbar!

Ooh, that's not bad, I'll keep that one.

Have you been listening to Adam and Joe? :)

(if not...they had a feature about songs that you sing replacing the words with the mundane things you are doing, and 'lock the taskbar' was one of them).

No, I haven't actually. Sounds like the sort of feature I'd want to listen to though :)

(Actually, I know several people who've arrived at "Lock the taskbar" independently.)
