Yeah, I know, the featured image is a fork not a spoon, but one can’t eat everything or everyone with a fork.

Did I just say everyone? I had a messy dream of which I only have vague memories. It was inspired by my friend and former work wife Liprap sharing an item about the Donner Party with me. She knows that tragic episode is one of my odder interests. Like this week’s theme song, it involves cannibalism. Told ya it was messy.

I hereby propose that Silver Spoon become the theme song of the incoming Trump administration. Why? I cannot wait until they begin ripping each other to shreds. Alas, that’s their plan for the constitution as well.

Grace Slick wrote Silver Spoon for the 1971 album she made with her then main squeeze and Jefferson Airplane co-pilot Paul Kantner, Sunfighter. The cover featured their baby girl China, not a gnawed on corpse. Relieved? I certainly am.

Silver Spoon poses the eternal question: “Where are the bodies for dinner?”

Beats the hell outta me.

Here’s another song with the same title. It’s about rich people, not cannibals.

Let’s move from cannibal chat to silver. Silver Train was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I’m putting the Johnny Winter version first because I like it a smidgen more than that of The Stones.

Let’s resume our cannibal chat with a song by the man a friend of Dr. A’s once called Mr. Dire Straits. Spanish, not English was her first language, so she didn’t get the idiomatic nature of the band name. I didn’t correct her because it was so damn funny.

We begin our second act by skipping it altogether. Pondering cannibalism has me feeling lazy, which rhymes with the last word of this hit song from 1989. Fine Young Cannibals get the last word of this phantom second act.

We begin our third act with our favorite stolen feature.

Separated At Birth Recasting Edition: Dr. A and I are enjoying Dexter: Original Sin, especially the uncanny recasting of the OG cast members. My favorite by far is James Martinez in the role of Detective Angel Batista, originally played by the great David Zayas.

Martinez not only resembles Zayas, he captures the OG Angel’s vibe. This John Hiatt song does not but I’m posting a Hiatt concert for tomorrow’s Sunday Morning Video, so post and plug I must.

Your Weekly Oscar:  This time, we have another OP-Sinatra doubleheader. Like the theme song, it poses a question:

I like New York in June, how about you?

I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?”

Hit it, Oscar. Belt it out, Frank.

Have I told you lately how much I love Oscar Peterson?

The Best of In Living Color: The 1992 Super Bowl halftime show was an episode of the hilarious comedy show, In Living Color. Here are Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier doing that voodoo that they did so well.

For the uninitiated, they pronounce men, mens. Why? I’ll never know but it cracks me up every time.

Classic Movie Trailer: It’s not baseball season but we have a second double header featuring The Philadelphia Story and one of the few remakes I like, High Society. What’s not to love about music by Cole Porter?

Sure, Der Bingle was no Cary Grant, but he could sing and Archie Leach could not. FYI, CK Dexter Haven has long been on our list of potential cat names. That was Bing and Cary’s character in these movies. He was a yachtsman, not a serial killer like the Other Dexter.

What would Bing Crosby make of Yacht Rock? Discuss amongst yourselves.

How can I post the High Society trailer without closing the segment with this musical number featuring Bing and Louis?

I can’t get enough of Louis and Bing, here’s one more number:

In a word: Sweet as is this Joe Tex song:

Saturday GIF Horse: While we’re on the subject of cannibalism, the swell Showtime series Yellowjackets returns on Valentine’s Day. I am not making this up.

Your Weekly Meme: We move from recasting to renaming. The Insult Comedian wants to rename a body of water in my neck of the woods, the Gulf of America. It’s another entry in his moronic and downright Neronic attempts  to distract attention from his burn it all down agenda.

Where are the bodies for dinner?

Let’s close down this virtual honky tonk with some more music.

Saturday Closer: We move from people eat people to Dog Eat Dog. Dig the gory album cover by Joni Mitchell:

That’s all for this week. The last word goes to the psychedelic trio of Timothy Leary, Grace Slick, and Paul Kantner.
