En ganske personlig gjendiktning av Oscar Hammerstein IIs tidløse schläger fra «The Sound Of Music» (1959). Originalmusikken var ved Richard Rodgers.

MY FAVORITE THINGS

Big brandy bottles with brandy inside them
Large, juicy joints and a nice place to hide them
Steely Dan records, a new set of strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Tenderloin beef steak along with some good wine
Cuban cigars and a «Free Samples Here» sign
Strawberries, chocolate, a girlfriend who sings
These are a few of my favorite things

Freshly ground coffee with sugar and cream in it
Flying (allthough I was probably dreamin’ it)
Freedom and friendship, a good pair of wings
These are a few of my favorite things

In the dark nights when the snark bites
and I’m turning mad
I hardly remember my favorite things,
but that’s just when I feel really bad
