Brandon Flowers tastes like potato chips

Rufus Wainwright's latest CD includes a tribute to The Killers' Brandon Flowers --

‘Tulsa’, about Killers frontman Brandon Flowers sounds particularly intriguing. ‘I don’t know him that well,’ Wainwright admits, ‘but I wrote this song about him which is kind of hilarious – it says he tastes like potato chips in the morning.’

Tulsa - Rufus Wainwright

You taste of potato chips in the morning.
Your face has the Marlon Brando club calling.
And then the thought that I owe it all to Tulsa.
And that fat guy with the Queen shirt that we both signed together.
Wanting it for someone who'd been down forever.

Your suit was the whitest thing since you-know-who.
I feel that that saviour I've been may be you.
And then the thought that I owe it all to Tulsa.
And that poor girl who waited in the rain for hours to meet me completely.

And I owe it all to Tulsa
Just a reminder
Of the antiques shop I want to go back to and visit when it´s open
In Tulsa, Oklahama
This song's about you.

Maybe he's implying he's junk food, no nutritional value.

How weird, I'm listening to Rufus Wainwright right now. I like his dad too. He was so funny on Undeclared.
[info]0_stormy_0 10th-Mar-2007 05:55 pm (UTC)
I saw him live last year and he was really funny and super nice. I really like Undeclared, too, for the five seconds it was on.

IAWTC.

The best thing Loudon Wainwright III has done in recent memory is that FILTHY, FILTHY song for Johnny Depp & Gore Verbinski's pirate cd.
[info]lilrock_n_roll 10th-Mar-2007 06:45 pm (UTC)

[info]smashpumpkins21 10th-Mar-2007 05:17 pm (UTC)
i've heard of him alot, but honestly never heard any of his songs. i guess that makes me strange.
[info]torowa 10th-Mar-2007 05:20 pm (UTC)
Rufus Wainwright is a gay god. Good lord I love that man.
[info]mcsampson 10th-Mar-2007 05:22 pm (UTC)
I'm just listening to his song, California and I find it weird because I didn't think he was even semi-well known.
[info]strangelittlex 10th-Mar-2007 05:26 pm (UTC)
He's pretty well known. His whole family is. Maybe not his sister but definitely his parents.
[info]ahoyhoysailor 10th-Mar-2007 06:29 pm (UTC)
i love his sister.
[info]le_negronomicon 10th-Mar-2007 05:23 pm (UTC)
lol @ guyliner.

he probably smells of old ass drawers since he's mormon and there's NOTHING MAGICAL ABOUT UNDERWEAR YOU NEVER WASH!

PS, Mormons - I'm sure Jesus doesn't appreciate smellin' your fuckin' lifelong culmination of ass everytime you pray.

moving on, however:

if Rufus really liked Brandon, he'd learn to sing and breathe without
SUCKIN' AIR THRU GRITTED TEETH AS IF EVERY FUCKIN' NOTE HURTS OR SOME SHIT!!



Cheese'n'Rice!


worst singing-annoyance EVAR!


it's worse than singers that say "choo" instead of 'you' (ie. "Die withow' choo")
[info]le_negronomicon 10th-Mar-2007 05:58 pm (UTC)
choose your weapon.


mine...?


is :love: Kissing Hand
[info]hockeyobsession 10th-Mar-2007 05:43 pm (UTC)
somebody please explain the mormon underwear thing to me please. i'm so confused.
[info]be_debonair 10th-Mar-2007 05:51 pm (UTC)
it's against mormon religion to wash your underwear o_o?
[info]milestoburn 10th-Mar-2007 07:42 pm (UTC)
That's crap.
Mormons totally wash their underwear. Don't know what's wrong with your boss's hygiene but not washing is his issue, not church doctrine.
[info]onyourown 11th-Mar-2007 05:50 am (UTC)
OH MAN, my choir teacher used to drill that into our heads . Now, everytime I hear a singer sing "choo" or "joo," I cringe.
[info]yakgoatduh 12th-Mar-2007 04:29 am (UTC)
I think Rufus' breath sucking is sexy. Tori Amos similarly does that. I want to have a 3 way with those two! *hhhhhhhhhhhsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss*
[info]secretivexhero 10th-Mar-2007 05:23 pm (UTC)
brandon flowers iskinda cute but thats as far as it goes
[info]migrations 10th-Mar-2007 05:23 pm (UTC)
are they really both gay?
[info]asouthernthing 10th-Mar-2007 05:32 pm (UTC)
Flowers is married, unfortunately, but we all know the truth.
[info]sparkfactory 10th-Mar-2007 06:28 pm (UTC)
lol, ~cover wife~
[info]ohmygoshhhhhhhh 10th-Mar-2007 05:33 pm (UTC)
No, Brandon isn't.
[info]ilovestarburst 10th-Mar-2007 05:26 pm (UTC)
I love it. Yay for the Rufus posts. :D
[info]asouthernthing 10th-Mar-2007 05:32 pm (UTC)
The Brandon Flowers/Rufus Wainwright slashers are peeing their pants right about now.
[info]thruyourveins 10th-Mar-2007 05:41 pm (UTC)
rofl i wasn't even aware that any slashers for them existed
[info]asouthernthing 10th-Mar-2007 05:50 pm (UTC)
TOTALLY. I tried to write Brandon Flowers with whatshisname from Franz Ferdinand one time and people were all like OMG WTF WHAT ABOUT BRANDOOOOOON! Baffling.
[info]old_fart_1 10th-Mar-2007 05:45 pm (UTC)
omg why are people slashing rufus? GTFO slashers.
[info]parabolabear 10th-Mar-2007 08:18 pm (UTC)
this is ~*~ OLD NEWZ but indeed
we are/were :D
[info]demented_21 10th-Mar-2007 05:40 pm (UTC)
Brandon is very pretty. And I'll always like Rufus if only for his amazing cover of He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.

Still, potato chips? Tulsa? "to meet me completely"? O rly?
