BACK, YES. But, unfortunately rather briefly. Had to work this AM at my other job as copy editor for small daily newspaper, and have a list of honey-dos to fill the afternoon and a charity soiree this evening, but for a while I can linger and inflict horror. (I took the time to cut and paste the inestimable **happyheathen**'s list into Quark where I can do a quick find of keywords to avoid embarassing duplications. So I’m free to give you… You take a bus marked “Lakewood Drive” And you keep on ridin’ ‘til you’re out of the city.

Alright, then Me an’ Earl was haulin’ chickens On a flatbed outa Wiggins And we had spent all night on the uphill side Of thirty seven miles of hell called Wolf Crick Pass Which was up on the great divide And we was sittin’ there suckin’ toothpicks And drinkin’ Nehis an’ onion soup mix And I says “Earl, let’s mail a card to mother And then send them chickens on down t’other side” Yeah, lets give them hens a ride Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin’ on down, the other side Well Earl put down his bottle Mashed his foot down on the throttle And then a couple of boobs, with a thousand cubes In a 1948 Peterbuilt screamed to life We woke up the chickens We roared up off’n that shoulder Sprayin’ pine cones rocks 'n boulders And put four hundred head of them Road Island Reds And a couple of burnt out roosters on the line Look out below…cause here we go Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin’ on down, the other side Well we commenced a truckin’ And them hens commenced a cluckin’ Then Earl took out a match, and scratched his pants And lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar And took a puff Says “My ain’t this pretty up here” And I says “Earl this hill can spill us You better slow down or you gonna kill us Just make one mistake and it’s the pearly gates For them eighty five crates Of USDA approved cluckers You wanna hit second?” Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin’ on down, the other side Well Earl grabbed on the shifter And he stabbed her into fifth gear And then the chromium plated, fully illuminated Genuine ac-cessory shift knob Come right off in his hand I says “you wana screw that thing back on Earl ?” He was tryin’ to thread it on there When the fire fell off a his cigar And dropped on down sorta rolled around And lit the cuff of Earls pants And burnt a whole in his sock Yeah it sorta set him right on fire I looked on outa the window An’ I started in a countin’ phone poles Goin’ by at the rate of four to the seventh power I put two an’ two together Added twelve, an’ carried five Come up with twenty two thousand telephone poles an hour I looked at Earl an’ his eyes was wide His lip was curled and his leg was fried And his hands was froze to the wheel Like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard And I said Earl I’m not the type to complain But the time has come for me to explain That if you don’t apply some brake real soon They’re gonna have to pick us up with a stick an’ a spoon Well Earl rared back Cocked his leg Stepped down as hard as he could on the brake And the pedal went clear to the floor And stayed - right there on the floor Says it’s sorta like steppin’ on a plum Well from there on down it just wasn’t real pretty It was hairpin county and switchback city One of ‘em looked like a can full of worms Another one looked like malaria germs Right in the middle of the whole damn show Was a real nice tunnel now wouldn’t you know Sign says clearance to the twelve foot line But them chickens was stacked to thirteen nine Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred an’ ten Like gas through a funnel an’ eggs through a hen An’ we took that top row of chickens off Slicker ‘n the scum off a Louisiana swamp Went down an’ around an’ around an’ down An’ we run outta ground at the edge of town An’ bashed on into the side of a feed store In downtown Pagosa Springs Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin’ on down, the other side Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin’ on down, the other side ---

Alone until my eighteenth year, We met four springs ago She was shy and had a fear, Of things she did not know But we got it on together, In such a super way We held each other close at night, And traded dreams each day And she said, Rocky, I’ve never been in love before Don’t know if I can do it, But if you let me lean on you Take my hand, I might get through it, through it I said, Baby, oh sweet baby, It’s love that sets us free And God knows if the world should end, Your love is safe with me We found an old gray house, And you would not believe the way We worked at night to fix it up, Took classes in the day Painting walls and sippin’ wine, Sleepin’ on the floor With so much love with just two, Soon we found there’d be one more And she said, Rocky, I’ve never had a baby before Don’t know if I can do it, But if you let me lean on you Take my hand, I might get through it, through it I said, Baby, oh sweet baby, It’s love that sets us free And God knows if the world should end, Your love is safe with me We had lots of problems then but, We had lots of fun Like the birthday party, When our baby girl turned one I was proud and satisfied, Life had so much to give 'Til the day they told me, That she didn’t have long to live She said, Rocky, I’ve never had to die before Don’t know if I can do it Now it’s back to two again, The little girl and I Who looks so much like her sweet mother, Sometimes it makes me cry I sleep alone at nights again, I walk alone each day And sometimes when I’m about to give in, I hear her sweet voice say, to me Rocky, you know you’ve been alone before You know that you can do it, But if you’d like to lean on me Take my hand, I’ll help you through it, through it I said, Baby, oh sweet baby, It’s love that sets us free And God knows if the world should end, Your love is safe with me She said, Rocky, you know you’ve been alone before You know that you can do it, But if you’d like to lean on me Take my hand, I’ll help you through it HA!

I give you “He Liked To Feel It”, by the Crash Test Dummies: There was a boy Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it Then we’d watch While he’d tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it That was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out He grew tired Of his doorknobs and so he thought up a brand-new trick He said he’d tie His tooth to his dog’s tail, find a stick, wind up, and then throw it That was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out He called his dog But just as he was set to throw, his dad arrived there He yelled at him And got some pliers, held him, wound up, and yanked it out right there That wasn’t how he liked to have his teeth pulled out He wouldn’t tell us how it felt when it came out ---

A quick round or two only but I couldn’t help this one Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March (B. Weinstein/J. Stroll) Sweet cream ladies, forward march; The world owes you a living Sweet cream ladies, do your part, Think of what you’re giving To the lost and lonely people of the night Out of need, they seek direction for their life They will love you in the darkness, Take advantage of your starkness, And refuse to recognize you in the light Sweet cream ladies, forward march; Think what you’re providing Sweet cream ladies, show your starch; What’s the use of hiding? Tell the socialites to look the other way; It’s instinctive stimulation you convey It’s a necessary function, Meant for those without compunction, Who get tired of vanilla every day (salvation army band instrumental) Sweet cream ladies forward march; Puritans ignore them Sweet cream ladies do their part; Sweet cream men adore them Let them satisfy the ego of the male Let them fabricate success to those who fail, And should penalties pursue them, When there’s really credit due them, They might keep a simple fellow out of jail! (repeat & fade): Sweet cream ladies, forward march. O-o-o… ---

What, “Let them satisfy the ego of the male” didn’t spark the ol’ Cringe-o-meter? If them’s the rules, let me say that I am seriously fond of several of the songs in this thread, including Brandy, and Angel of the Morning (both versions, including the Juice Newton remake). And I refuse to cringe before Bohemian Rhapsody. This rhapsody, however… Rhapsody In The Rain Lou Christie (Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert) Baby the raindrops play for me A lonely rhapsody ‘cause on our first date We were makin’ out in the rain And in this car our love went much too far It was exciting as thunder Tonight I wonder where you are Refrain: The windshield wipers seemed to say “Together - together - together - together” And now they are saying “Oh, ne…ver, ne…ver” Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby Chorus: Rhapsody in the rain Rhapsody in the rain Angels keep cryin’ for me (don’t… stop) Angels keep cryin’ for me (don’t… stop) Baby, I’m parked outside your door Remember makin’ love, makin’ love, we were makin’ love in the storm (sha-la-la-la la-la) Refrain 2: And then a flash from above Lightning - lightning - lightning - lightning Just li-ike our love It was exciting, exciting Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby [repeat chorus] Bridge: guitar solo: Yesterday, bring back yesterday [repeat chorus] Coda: Rhapsody in the rain ---

And one quick one before I go Horse With No Name On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rain The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la After two days in the desert sun my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la After nine days I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rain The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la I am stunned by the redundancy of the “for there ain’t no one for to give you no pain” and am reminded of the comedian who said, HEY, TAKE FIVE MINUTES AND NAME THE HORSE! til the morrow… ---
