The Paradox of the Prankster


 My Friday Mantra -- I'm Freako For Neko Edition
Back to Full Blog  



I was listening to her sing
Deep Red Bells and that's
When I decided to have
Neko Case's Love Baby

Neko's red hair flowing and
Her voice truly soaring
The idea it did strike me
And there's no ifs, ands or maybes

I'd be the Daddy and
Also the Mommy Daddy
I figure it's the
Least I could do
So I'll raise Prank Junior
What with her working and all

So that's when I started to
Emailing Neko directly daily
To plan our joyous union
It seemed my loving communications
Where not received as
Per my true intentions

My dreams finally were dashed
When the email came today
Sadly informing me that dear Neko passed
Done in by a case of rabies

But I have not given up
For there is still hope
Just one swab of DNA and
I can still carry Neko Case's Babies

Deep Red Bells
Written and performed by Neko Case and Band

He led you to this hiding place
His lightening threats spun silver tongues
The red bells beckon you to ride
A handprint on the driver's side
It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small
And Popsicles in the summer

Deep red bells, deep as I've been done
Deep red bells, deep as I've been done

It always has to come this
Red bells ring this tragic gun
Lost sight of the overpass
The daylight won't remember her
When speckled fronds raise round your bones
Who took the time to fold your clothes
Who shook the Valley of the Shadow

Deep red bells, deep as I've been done
Deep red bells, deep as I've been done

Where does this mean world cast its cold eye
Who's left to suffer long about you
Does your soul cast about like an old paper bag
Past empty lots and early graves
Those like you who lost their way
Murdered on the interstate
While the red bells rang like thunder

Deep red bells, deep as I've been done
Deep red bells, deep as I've been done
Deep red bells, deep as I've been done

DISCLAIMER


This poetic ditty is not based on reality. I recently saw Neko Case in concert on the satellite dish and I am going to catch her live next time she hits Denver. I think Neko Case is a fine performer and writer but I never emailed her or ever expressed romantic intentions to her in any way. I also believe she did not die from rabies and is alive and well. I do not have a compulsion to be a Daddy or a Mommy Daddy. Hmmmm....I think that about covers it.

Oh yeah, I think Neko is pretty hot too.

Happy Trails!

hey Prank, I just looked online for information about her to read. She's very interesting and her work is unique too, never giving in to a major record label. I enjoyed the video, too! thanks!

Hope you have a great Friday evening.

Prank - that was a great song. She has a really good sound to her
and her band. I have never heard her music before,
but I will be looking up Neko Case.
Stunning woman and talented. Great stuff Prank.
Hope the mile-high region is treating you well.
Sending good vibes.

Thanks for the introduction to a great singer.

If you do decide to have her baby, please let us know. And be sure to let her know too! I mean its only fair.

Dang, no Daddy urge huh?

I nominated you for the role of King Arthur when Anexplorer makes a movie out of his Pendragon series. Maybe that'll make up for the Neko disappointment?

Prank:

I think Neko should use protection when she is with you.

Prank,
I had a dream with you included and had to post it on my blog.
I am sorry about the ending! *looks sad*

Wow, WP, I read that post and am always fascinated by our dream worlds. I am not so sure about what they mean, if anything, but as I read along it reminded me of adventures in my dreamland. Contradictions, confusion and paradoxical goings on. That Woogie is always tossing something, usually hairballs, but the occasional chair or feeding bowl has been seen flying when his Majesty is peeved.

Why thank you for the nomination, Sherry, I am deeply honored. And I apologize for my tardy reply. I don't get back up here as much as I would like but life will ease up a little soon. I hope you are well and enjoying a beautiful Spring day!

Best wishes,
Prank

Time for Summer!

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, explorer, Neko floats all the rafts in the Grand Canyon rivers of my mind.
