about

The idea comes from the book The Selfish Gene. ""Selfish", when applied to genes, doesn't mean "selfish" at all. It means, instead, an extremely important quality for which there is no good word in the English language: "the quality of being copied by a Darwinian selection process." The final chapter of the first edition introduced the idea of the meme, a culturally-transmitted entity such as a hummable tune, by analogy to genetic transmission.

lyrics

SELFISH JEAN 2022


(The) best damn curves money could buy

Baby blue contacts in her eyes

Bleach blonde hair and a year-round tan

Huntin´ for a six-million-dollar man

Miniskirt mini top loved to dance.

Gave the guys a flash of London and France

Pretended not to notice all those pryin´ eyes

Feelin´ pretty proud though she was really shy


Her name was Jean Selfish Jean
A love machine Selfish Jean


Never quite got her m-r-s- degree

All those years at university

Those boys were nice but not for her

She saw the Ivy League and pedigrees in her future


Less than a grand in her savings account

When drinks are free who cares to count

She´d land that guy they´d have some fun

Find a good lawyer when it was done






Her name was Jean Selfless Jean
Long and lean Selfless Jean


BRIDGE

She met him outside a bar
Luggin in his amp and his guitar (she said)
Call me baby if you ever get real far
Jesus Christ I could use a superstar


She wasn´t always gonna be 23

Someday she´d wither like the autumn leaves

But for now she was sexy hot as the sun

And ol´ mr. Right yeah he would come


Her name was Jean

A dancing queen

Long and lean

A love machine

Her name was Jean

Selfless Jean

My sister Jean

Her name was Jean

about

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.
