On That Note: Kind of Like an Artist

[cyclones500]

“National Arts & Humanities Month” is coming in October.

For this segment, we explore songs with titles, lyrics or themes connected with art, painting and well-known artists/works of art.

“Does not apply” caveat: (1) Photography (acceptable if it overlaps with main premise) ... (2) “artist” in context of "music artist."

“On That Note” is presented weekly on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Why Do We Never Get an answer?

My first selection, connecting w/ thread title.

“Well she’s kind of like an artist.”

“Peepin’ out the colors, I be buggin’ on Cezanne.”

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo

Inspired by Julian's schoolboy drawing.

Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it's worth

She's Venus in blue jeans, Mona Lisa with a pony-tail.

Fridays, I go painting in the Louvre

She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back.

You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk.

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue.

Initially thought Rainbow by the Stones could work but looked at the lyrics and nope.

 

[cyclones500]

“She painted pictures that never dried.”

 

[MeanDean]

He does that wonderful Chuck Berry story telling. He has to reconfigure the name to fit the song: changing it from "Venus DeMilo" to "Milo DeVenus." But then when he says that she lost both her arms in a wrestling match - you confirm he's talking about the statue/girl.

But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles....
