**Bottle of Smoke** always gets me singing “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” by Billy Joel. _A bottle of smoke, a bottle of white, whatever kind of mood you’re in tonight._ ---

Garsh, I didn’t know my name registered with anyone.🙂 **Globe-trotter** makes me think of Sweet Georgia Brown, of course, as has already been mentioned. **Gazoo** , you make me think of that great old Police song: _Gazoo,zoo,zoo Gazaa, zaa, zaa That’s all I want to say to you…_ And I can’t see **Dire Wolf** ’s name without humming his namesake song to myself: _The Dire Wolf, the Dire Wolf, 600 hundred pounds of sin Was grinning at my window All I said was come on in…_ ---

Annie Christmas is a song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber show Whistle Down the Wind. My last name is Anne, and my B-day is December 25th. And I was a Lloyd Webber fan for about 20 years before the song. Good thing I’m not a Lloyd Webber stalker! ---

I can’t see **Tabathina’s** name anymore without thinking of Oklahoma! I wrote this for her in the [other song thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28455): Taaaaaaabathina A cool newbie posting on the boards And she gets the joke of a Python quote Like a parrot pining for the fjords! Tabathina Ev’ry day I’m going through the threads Looking for her posts to find some quotes I can later repeat to my friends. And now she belongs to the board A place where Cecil Adams is lord! And when we say Yeeow! Ayipioeeay! We’re only sayin’ You’re doin’ fine, Tabithina! Tabithina’s O.K. Just so you people know: _And when we say Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!_: I didn’t write those words. Those are actually lyrics to the song. I don’t wanna hear how stupid it is. I still feel my name is safe. Tabathina paired it up with 3 Dog Night’s _Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog_, but the syllables don’t quite match up. 😃 ---

Hey, Jack Batty, I did say I didn’t know why! And stop stalking me! And don’t make fun of me! And other things I’d like to shout at you but can’t think of! O.K., here’s a look into Biggirl’s very weird stream of consciousness. Jack Batty is sorta batlike because of his name, see? He looks the cartoon guy in The Groovy Goulies. The Groovy Goulies had a band. They never played Monster Mash, but dammit if they shouldn’t have. Therefore Jack Batty reminds me of the Monster Mash. ---

**Bottle of Smoke** , we can let you slide for that. Just don’t scrape that Dead sticker off your car! (Inspired by **Gazoo** ) A Bottle of Smoke A Bottle of Coke Depends on whether you want to drink, or toke… How 'bout these? Sung to the Stevie Wonder song… **Persephone** , and Ivory, are together in perfect harmony West Side Story’s “Maria”… **fierra** , I just met a girl named fierra Nat King Cole’s “Unforgetable”… **Serendipity** , that’s what you are… The Kinks “Superman”… **uberDave** , uberDave, wish I could fly like uberDave How about two for the price of one? The Beatle’s Maxwell Silverhammer… Bang Bang **Max Torque’s Silver Fire** came down upon my head… **struuter** already has a song, though spelled slightly differently - “Strutter” by Kiss, but I forget the words. **evilbeth** , sung to Pearl Jam’s Evenflow ---
