Beth

Of course I had to do a song that is my name!  That's a given!  :)  I first heard of and heard Beth in High School when I was dating a musician.  So it goes without saying that of course he would sing this song to me every so often.  And really when I hear the song I very easily see how this could be my life had I stayed with that person or had my husband continued on with his band. 

I love this song for its music.  Regardless of what I may personally think about Kiss they are great musicians and I appreciate good music just as much as I do good lyrics.  Now.  What do I think about Kiss?  I think they are hysterical.  It's brilliant what they ended up doing.  My husband has seen them first row in their early days and still talks about those concerts to this day because of how brilliant they are in their performance and music. 

We've watched a few episodes of "Family Jewels", a reality show featuring Gene Simmons and his family and after seeing him off a stage and with no makeup and interacting with other people normally I look at Kiss on stage and get the giggles.  He's a brilliant showman.  He's not like that in his real life at all! 

So the song for today is all about me...sort of!  I love both versions I've included.  I think I love the one with make up more than the other but Lanny REALLY liked the other so I've included it as well!

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
