I try to steer Fri/Sat editions toward more light hearted topics which can be can be a problem sometimes considering the serious nature of this site. Not so challenging tonight however, I actually laughed at loud when I saw this dated comment about the Dresden Dolls’ song My Alcoholic Friends while searching for some background on the song’s lyrics.

When I first heard this song, I didn't know the title, and I thought she was saying " my Uncle Horlicke's friends" and I was really confused, because who the hell who Uncle Horlicke be? But then I saw the title and everything kinda clicked together. Yay for self-explanitory song titles! ~ Songmeanings

Hah, I have always had a hard time accurately discerning the lyrics to songs but “Uncle Horlicke” takes the cake!

That’s Amanda Palmer, voice of the Dresden Dolls, in the pic- you can click it to head over to her blog. I found this insightful comment over there, maybe it was the inspiration for her song?
