the banana song dream

here's a dream i had in May:

i just woke up from a long nap where i was dreaming that i had to do a show, and my band was trying to dress glam and they were doing an embarrasssingly bad job of it, and then they said they'd make up the set list and were wondering if we should do the song called "bananas". and i'm like,"i don't even know what you are talking about!!"

but, still, on stage they try. thurston moore (from sonic youth) walks by me on stage and says,"we're gonna do that song bananas now. and i'm trying to get my guitar in order and tell him no at the same time, but they've already started. and it's some sort of elvis-type song and i don't know the words for the life of me. then i realize that buster poindexter (from the new york dolls) has already starting singing the song for me and all these men have taken over my stage and are doing their guy rock thing . so i GRAB the microphone out of his hands and he looks at me with sheer disbelief because he is the STAR GUEST. and i jump onto some sort of rotating podium and making up the greatest funniest words to this song at the top of my head while doing really gregarious rock star elvis poses and doing gymnast feats. thurston and buster are the rest of their guy entourage are totally insulted and thurston tries to beat me up. but i "out man" him again by whipping out a 9mm and putting it to his head and smiling, knowing that he has no choice but to leave. and i feel great!

the rest of the day was spent staring out the window with my dog, pooka. and he is freshly washed, so he was a good smelling fluff monster :)
