"First time I saw her, I wanted more than just to hold her.
I wanted to bend and fold her, so I leant over and I told her.
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
We want to be, lapsed Catholic, got the contraception, haven't got the knack yet.
We've tried it a variety of ways, I've not slept in about 4 days.
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So, we went to the cinema, we came home from the cinema
We went through the front door, up the stairs, through the bedroom door, onto the bedroom floor
I've seen her naked twice, I've seen her naked twice!
Brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend
Think I'm going round the bend
G-g-g-girlfriend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
And I think that I love her."

Edit: just to add that this a Brazilian first pressing in mono from 1970, and I think it sounds better than the boxset pressing I have. I don't have the 50th anniversary edition to compare.
 
Day 25 - Observe the Weather Day

Play something about weather.

Don't think I'll be able to stay awake to listen to all this, but I'm gonna take a few too listen to the sides that have both these weather songs on them. We've got Great Rain and Saddle in the Rain.

SRV and DT - Couldn't Stand the Weather

Someday I'd love to say "I left Michigan every January through February because I couldn't stand the weather." But for now I'll do what probably half of us Michiganders do; complain about it. Have I mentioned that it was three degrees farenheit on my way in to work this morning?

Day 26 - “They called me Eddie”

Eddie Van Halen was born on this day in 1955. Play something featuring top-tier guitar playing.

I could have played another SRV record seeing as I do consider his playing top-tier. But I'll go with an album that features two supremely talented top-tier players - Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew.

King Crimson - Discipline

I was going to go with a different record, but since it was my daughter's Bo Burnham - Inside, and she has it on her wall in her room I'll go with option #2.
