Continuing in the noble tradition of posting clips of
music that mean something to one person but probably
nothing to anyone else, here's a song for those who 
have a history of throwing snit-fits because someone 
doesn't reply to something they felt should or *must*
be replied to. This is the only clip I could find on 
YouTube, and is preceded by an instrumental with 
violinist Jenny Scheiman, but if you want to cut 
to the chase, the song starts at about 5:40.

My so-called buddy never called me back
called me back, called me back
my so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that

I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
floor of my flat, floor of my flat
I coulda been croaking on the floor of my flat
the bugger never called me back

Then again he could have troubles himself
troubles himself, troubles himself
then again he could have troubles himself
I better try him once more

He could be going through a bitter divorce
bitter divorce, bitter divorce
he could be going through a bitter divorce
or a quadruple bypass

Maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
afoul of the law, afoul of the law
maybe his mother ran afoul of the law
you never know with that gang

He coulda slid into a society scene
society scene, society scene
he coulda slid into a society scene
and left his old friends behind

My so-called buddy never called me back
called me back, called me back
my so-called buddy never called me back
I don't know what to think about that
the bugger never called me back
I better try him once more
