Megan really likes Van Morrison. She had some of his music playing last night when I got home. I made the observation that Van mentions "Jelly Roll" in all of his songs.
"Not ALL of his songs," she said.
"Well, at least 50% of them he does."
"OK, maybe 50%."
For the remainder of his CD, I started replacing various lyrics with "Jelly Roll". She was not amused. I was. It went something like this:

Actually, jelly roll fits in place of Domino just perfect!
Either you are an evil genius to be lauded or she is a saint for putting up with you. I can't decide.
It should be noted that no true VanMo fan would be caught dead singing along to the ridiculously commercial "Brown Eyed Girl."
Brown-eyed Jelly Roll...that's right on par with the Cleveland Steamer & the Rusty Trombone!
What happens when you sing Jelly Roll, do that funny walk, and then fake cry - is that an annoy overload?!
I think you need to go on "Don't Forget the Lyrics" with the hilarious and talented Wayne Brady!
My favorite part was 0:40 - 0:43. Beautiful.
I never noticed that before - you have now brought a whole new level of interest to my love of Van Mo music.
Hey, where did this video go?
I can understand really liking Van Morrison. Although I don't own of his records, I don't think, I have no problem with him.
I do, however, hate every bar band cover of "Brown-Eyed Girl." It really really pisses me off and I fly into a rage whenever I hear some shitty bar band covering it. I don't mind the song, I just hate that it's ALWAYS covered and usually done very badly.
What are Megan's thoughts on this?
how come you didn't ask me, grant? i'm the brown eyed girl and all.
