If there is something less conducive to bed rest and good health than being forced to listen through the wall to one's teenage sister wailing along to "Dude Looks Like a Lady" in the wee hours of the night, I do not want to know what it is.

You could have her killed. I work cheap. We could hang out afterwards.

And nothing screams "awful" like an over-the-hill hard rock band adding bad horns to an already bad song such as "Dude Looks Like a Lady."

I've gotta say, me caterwauling to Journey's "Faithfully" is probably pretty bad for bed rest, too.

I'm shocked that you haven't killed Sister Girl yet.

The art in your icon is so familiar! Is it from the Charles Vess illustrated Stardust? Or am I just on crack?

It is! It's a really poor-quality scanning job part of one of the alternate cover designs in the appendix.

Mm.

Being forced to listen through the wall to one's teenage sister engaging in carnal congress?

Worst thing ever? Living in a dorm of heavily drinking friends and getting woken up by lone band dork practicing for the game at 8am! MUCH WORSE! At least Aerosmith has a rhythm while a trombone going through its notes and having its spit valve cleaned is not much in the way in toe tapping...

How about a drunken Asian girl caterwauling Mariah Carey? With friends? Off-key?

Swear to god, she had BETTER be a senior. Otherwise, next year = DEATH. All over the floor.

As soon as I read the song title, I hate to admit it, but I started singing the song.
Just be glad Sister Girl doesn't like singing 'Nikki Webster' songs. I'd rather Aerosmith.

...an incredibly endrunken man with The Most Nasal Voice In The World playing Tori Amos' 'Cornflake Girl' on repeat and screeching along with the chorus out of tune and off key. For hours.

Is it even worse when they're crucifying a song you love? You bet your life it is...

One night in college my drunk crazy roommate barged in at 4am with a zebrafish sting on her hand, which was swelled up like a Minnie Mouse glove. She was loud and thought the whole episode (which her sober and thoughtful date related to me while she was in the bathroom) was hilarious.

I know I told this before, but I don't remember where. Pardon if you've already heard it.

Trying saying to said teenager sister why in the hell she's singing said song, and being told "What? You know them too. It's [young rip off singer]'s new CD." and she won't believe you when you tell her that the song was old when you were young.

Yep, been there, done that.

Uh-huh. If I had to explain one more time that Fiona Apple did *not* write "Across the Universe", or that "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" wasn't a Britney Spears original...

... or Mariah Carey's "Without You" or Celine Dion's "All By Myself" or Korn's "Word Up"...

Today's kids haven't been subjected to real songwriting.

Love your icon, BTW...

ahhh nostalgia

Are you for real? Britney didn't come up with 'I love Rock'n' Roll'. I don't believe it.

I'm 33 almost 34, my sister is 17. Unfortunately we have lots of similar discussions.

Aight, I won't tell you then, but can I say that it involves having a dorm room that faces the frat houses on a Friday night?

I guess it was that time, huh? *starts making old man noises and settles in to tell about the days when he first discovered Aerosmith*

Nah, I'm not gonna do that to you. But still, it was a looooooong time ago.

Use reverse psychology. Claim Aerosmith is your super-secret favorite band and start playing all the songs continuously. Maybe she'll shut up about it.

In some incredibly backwards, twisted way, everything you tell us about Sister Girl only endears her to me more.

Maybe it's just the hysterical way you describe it to us, or something. I don't know.

I agree. But probably becasue I AM a younger sibling. So I often incur the wrath of my older sister. I guess I can just relate.

Thanks for a much needed giggle-fit! Maybe because I'm feeling a bit like crap myself, and am constantly shutting my daughter's door while she pretends to sing along to songs that might be good if I could hear them instead of her, this just struck my funny bone right. Of course, I had to walk into the kitchen to put away the pizza while singing an incredibly off-key rendition of this very song, since you ear-wormed it into my head.
