Suitcase Song

The neurotic Jazz-Queen of strong opinions found her way into my head today.  (Her name is Nellie McKay, she really is fantastic.)  Her song, stuck in my head is called "Suitcase Song."  In this moment I'm way too lazy to delve too much into the lyrics.  She sings in Spanish in the song and says "me falta una maleta" which I think means, "I'm missing a suitcase."

So, maybe Nellie McKay was traveling abroad and one of her suitcases got lost?!? 

This is one of her less politically charged songs.  Here's "Suitcase Song" the song stuck in my head today along with an intro from Nellie.  The song starts about about 2 minutes in, if you don't care to hear her talk. 

I only have one of McKay's albums, her debut "Get Away From Me."  I really do recommend the album.  It's ambitious, clever, full of catchy music and she released the thing when she was only 19 years old. 

Blah blah blah.  That's the end of my post today.
