Mr Mojo Risin’

Written by Jimmy

Well I didn’t know this until today.  In LA Woman, Jim Morrison used an anagram of himself!

A six step blog:

1. Listen to song (it does go on a bit…!)

2. Read the lyrics (They do go on a bit, though!)

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
With a little girl in a Hollywood bungalow (change)
are the lucky like a little lady in The City of Lights (change)
Or just another lost angel…City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo, c’mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon
Drive thru your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
Into your blue-blue Blues
Into your blues, ohh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin’
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Drivin’ down your freeways
Midnite alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman…
So alone, so alone
So alone, so alone
Motel Money Murder Madness
Let’s change the mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Got to keep on risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, Mr. Mojo Risin’
Mojo Risin’, gotta Mojo Risin’
Mr. Mojo Risin’, gotta keep on risin’
Risin’, risin’
Gone risin’, risin’
I’m gone risin’, risin’
I gotta risin’, risin’
Well, risin’, risin’
I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin’
Woah, ohh yeah
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
With a little girl in a Hollywood bungalow (change)
Oh you were like a little lady in The City of Lights (change)
Or just another lost angel…City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woah, c’mon
L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman
L.A. Woman, your my woman
Little L.A. Woman, Little L.A. Woman
L.A. L.A. Woman Woman
L.A. Woman c’mon

3. Please note the red lyrics, which are perfect anagram of Jim Morrison.  Go figure.   Has anyone done that before?

4. Please note another musician and his anagrams:  Elvis – Lives (So that’s where it came from)

5. A little anagram joke:  did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper?  Accidently sold his soul to Santa.

6.  My favourite anagrams of all time because they make sense (all credits to this site:  click here):

a.  The Morse Code = here come the dots

b. Slot Machines = Cash lost in ’em

c. Christmas Tree = Search, Set, Trim

d. A decimal point = I’m a dot in place

e. Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one (wow!  i love that one)

f.  From hamlet:  To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. = In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

g. Crude alert.  Crude alert, but too funny to ignore I’m afraid:  Mr. William Jefferson Clinton, former President of these United States of America = Monica flirts. Wife sees hot jism from cad land on fat intern, set to rule free empire

Palindromes are even more fun.  Stuff spelled same backward and forward.   My favourite of all time:  ‘A man, a plan, a canal – Panama.’
