The Rebel Black Dot Songs of the Day
Undeclinable Ambuscade, "Not Again" from Short Music for Short People (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Like all the other songs on Short Music for Short People, "Not Again" is but half a minute long (thirty-one seconds). Short, short, short, but in the shower this morning I started singing, "…against the world…" over & over again, not precisely remembering the rest of the brief lyrics, presented here in their entirety.

"No, not again,
Against the world,
Why always us against the world?
No, not again,
Not us again,
Why always us against the world?"

Mike Park, "Korea Is So Far Away" from Mailorder Is Still Fun!! (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Chosen in honor of Sunday's running of the F1 Korean Grand Prix. This is a wildly inappropriate choice, since "Korea Is So Far Away" is a serious song about interracial romance & the resistance to assimilation in immigrant populations, but there you go. Sometimes that's just how the R.B.D.S.O.T.D. works.

"Korea is so far away,
Korea is so far away,
And this is my special friend,
We'd meet secretly in the park
And wonder why we couldn't share ourselves.
Korea is so, is so far away—

"Well, I want to share my round-eyed devil with you,
And she's not so different from you…"
