**Moderator’s Note:** Hi, **cel80** , and welcome to the SDMB. Out of respect for intellectual property rights we ask that people [refrain from posting complete lyrics to songs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120313); I’ve edited your post to replace the lyrics with a link to a web site that gives them. Also, we have a forum, Cafe Society, for questions about music and other artistic endeavors, so I’m going to move this thread there.
