The Cheese to My Macaroni

I was watching the movie Juno the other day-- one of my favorite movies.  I love Juno's character, and I LOVE the story.  I'm also crazy about the soundtrack.  Ubercool songs. 

Oh, and fantastic quotes.  For example:
  • "As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni."  Granted, I'm vegan and therefore I stay away from macaroni and cheese, but perhaps someday I'll find someone who's the velvega to my macaroni (that's an inside joke for you who know me well and are familiar with the fake cheese I make). 
  • "Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."  Who doesn't want that?

The following lyrics are from "All I Want is You" by Barry Louis Polisar-- you can find it on the Juno soundtrack.  Fantastic stuff.  Really, though, what more could you want?


If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

  1. I love you for this because Juno is my favorite movie and I got a lot of "feedback" for buying the quirky soundtrack - of which I also love. And you have quoted one of my favorites songs from the soundtrack. Thank you!
