One of These Days
Uncle Frank*
Women Without Whiskey*
*IGTBA versions.
I concur that this is a near impossibility. Zip, Surrender, Ramon, Birthday Boy, Three Dimes, Shit Shots, Love Like This, '72...but since I assume this is an "at gunpoint" situation, those are my four.

I’d have a lot of nerve to go feigning shock and outrage/If I'd been my example I’d be worse

Re: What are Cooley's four Mt Rushmore songs?
A vile mendacity. I voted once, then pointed out one could build themed Rushmores. For instance, one could build the Cooley Show Tune Rushmore by starting with Women Without Whiskey.Clams wrote:That's nothing, I think Arkansawyer has voted like 6 times since yesterdayFlea wrote:I think this is the same list I offered there.

Now, I realize that what I said there was to the effect of "Vote early, vote often! If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying hard enough." Reconciling the two statements is left as an exercise for the reader.

No you’re right about Til He’s Dead. Patterson song that Cooley sings. I like it too.bovine knievel wrote:Panties

Sounds Better in the Song
Where the Devil Don't Stay
Top three were easy. That last spot could be one of about 30. It was hard to not put Uncle Frank or One of These Days or Ramon Casiano in that spot.

We should do the Cooley Rushmore for lyrics. Four best lines.
Love each other, Motherfuckers!

Re: What are Cooley's four Mt Rushmore songs?
I shouldn’t complain that so many of you listed Ramon....at least it kept you from saying Primer Coat
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

Nope. It's easy as anything:beantownbubba wrote:You've got to be kidding. If the original exercise was torture, this one is Guantanamo.pearlbeer wrote:We should do the Cooley Rushmore for lyrics. Four best lines.
Much easier than picking the songs. This was a breeze!Talkin' tough is easy when it's other people's evil and you're judgin' what they do and don't believe.
Living in fear's just another way to die before your time.
Cussin' God and America and wishin' they'd just send me straight to hell.
If you were supposed to watch your mouth all the time, I doubt your eyes'd be above it.
EDITED TO ADD: My sig line isn't from a song, so it doesn't count, and anyways, if I +were+ to have a Bonus Phrase on this four-clause EP, it'd be this one:
Has it been so long you don't know me, or I don't know you, or do you just miss me? Heh heh--I miss you, too.

I found this much easier. Lots of Cooley's songs stick in my mind as a whole--not so many of his epigrams.beantownbubba wrote:Sheesh! It's not figuring out what to include, it's figuring out what to exclude.John A Arkansawyer wrote:Nope. It's easy as anything:

Outgrowing me might be the best thing for her she's ever done.pearlbeer wrote:We should do the Cooley Rushmore for lyrics. Four best lines.

OK, I give up. I started to answer this and realized I could pick out a whole bunch of Cooley songs and draw two or more lines out of just those particular songs ("Lord knows I can't change" sounds better in the song than it does with hell to pay). And a bunch of stuff from Hwy 72. And Devil Don't Stay.
Cooley's lyrics are dense. He's a poet and Hood is a storyteller. They write differently and that's why they fit together so well.
And now I realize that "Shut up and get on the plane" should have definitely been #4 in my song list.
Why did I even try to do this?

I want to see the internal demographics
Now it's dark.
Re: What are Cooley's four Mt Rushmore songs?
simple: male respondents were characterized by a common situational ability to be the greatest person you ever met, or a total douchebag... females, in contrast, were characterized by their intelligence and kindness.Flea wrote:I want to see the internal demographics

I feel strongly about the first three. There's a dozen or two songs that could be the 4th song.

Today it looks like this:
Where The Devil Don't Stay
Gravity's Gone
When The Pin Hits The Shell
Three Dimes Down
It could be something different tomorrow.
