But Her Popsicle Melts

April 24, 2006 by David Barr Kirtley Leave a Comment

So the other day I was driving in my car and I heard this song on the radio. The chorus went like, “I heard it’s cold out, but her popsicle melts. She’s in the bathroom, she pleasures herself. Says I’m a bad man, she’s locking me out. It’s ‘cuz of these things, it’s ‘cuz of … these things.” I thought, Hey, that’s a pretty cool song. I wonder what it is? So later I went to my handy google and was like, Okay, how did that song go? Let’s see, something about … popsicle … bathroom … pleasures herself. That ought to get it. I don’t know what I was thinking. That search brought up like 500 million sites, none of which, as you can probably imagine, had anything to do with song lyrics. Fortunately, I was able to recollect another section of lyrics and found the song, “These Things” by the band She Wants Revenge, which is indeed a pretty cool song.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
