You _should_ turn it up louder, but NOT because your DJ told you. You should turn it up louder, because at the end of your RAaaa-aaaain-bow lies a golden oldie. Then the questions become, does the golden oldie lie there at a Garden Party? Was everybody there? Did Yoko bring her walrus? Fenris ---

Unca Fenris is gonna stink up the thread: 1. “Rice is Nice” by the Lemon Pipers: I want to find somebody to care I want to catch some rice in my hair I need love and I want you I do I want to spend my life lovin’ you Rice is nice That’s what they say Rice is nice Throw some my way 1. “Jean” by Rod McKeuen Jean, Jean Roses are red All the leaves have gone green And run, if you will To the top of the hill Open your heart, Bonnie Jean I just scared myself by doing both of those from memory.

“It’s a strange, stange world we live in master Jack; You taught me all I know, and I’ll never look back. You’re a very strange man, and I thank you master Jack” “Which way you goin’, Billy, Or need I ask? You don’t want me Billy, You’re free at last!” You are my all babe, My heart and my soul, babe I’d have nothing to show babe, If you should go away!" “Who care what things we choose, Little to win, but nothing to lose.” 'This is the last song I’ll ever sing for you. It’s the last time that I’ll tell you just much I really care…" “It never rains in California…” take that! ---
