I like black and white  
(Dreaming black and white)  
You like black and white  
Run run away

See the cameleon  
(Lying there in the sun)  
All thanks to everyone  
Run run away, hey!

How about:

_Drop me a silver in my tambourine  
help a poor man fill a pretty dream_

or

_then I knew  
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)  
she could make me happy  
(happy, HAPPY)_

or

_S, K, O O  
B, Y, D, O O  
Oh oh  
Oh oh_

Lord only knows what cesspool of memory I dredged _that_ one out of.

Of course, now that we’ve got a playlist cobbled together here, we need someone to play this dreck. So:

_I am the morning deejay  
on W - O - L - D (D, D, D, D)_

And I’ve seen some things  
That a woman ain’t s’posed to see…  
I’ve been to PARADISE  
But I’ve NEVER BEEN TO MEEEEEEEE!!!

You can all kill me. It’s okay. I understand.

I can top that:

Someone left the cake out in the rain  
I don’t think that I can take it  
'Cause it took so long to make it  
And I’ll never have that recipe AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN!  
Oh no no!

\*I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie’s place  
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face  
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, WATCH OUT!  
Then Julie yelled, he’s got a gun, and she stepped in front of me  
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling  
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,  
and heres the last words Julie said…

Daddy please don’t, it wasn’t his fault, he means so much to me  
Daddy please don’t, we’re gonna get married…aaahhh…ahhhh  
ahhhh…ahhhhh

Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run  
\*

Coulda been worse, I coulda pulled “Indian Reservation” on y’all.

And hold her tight

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show  
my momma used to dance for the money theyd throw  
daddy would do whatever he cooouuuulllld…  
preach a little gospel, blah blah something good  
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves  
We’d hear it from the people of the town  
they’d call us  
gypsies, tramps and thieves  
and every night all the men would come around  
and lay their money dowwwwn

Kill me. Now.

Okay. Now not only am I feeling _old_, you all have me doubting my sanity. Am I really the only one in the world who used to actually _like_ of these songs? :o :eek: 😕

Now my contribution, since it was brought up:

They took the whole Cherokee Nation… (dum dum dum de dum)  
Locked us on this Reservation… (dum dum dum de dum -_whatever, you know the tune_)

_wicked grin_  
I’ll be nice and not finish the song. Also so I’ll live through today. 😛

_Don’t make me break out Dr. Demento…_  
I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates,  
You’ve got a brand new key…

Breakin’ up is hard to do,  
Now I know, I know that it’s true…

Running Bear dove in the water,  
Little White Dove did the same…

RT - don’t mess with WOLD - it’s sacred!

Ok, people.

You’re asking for it.

This is NOT the heavy artillery. Just a warning shot across your (collective) bow:  
\*  
Running Bear  
Loved Little White Dove  
With a Love  
Big as the sky  
Running Bear  
Loved Little White Dove  
With a Love  
That wouldn’t die.

Oh yeah?

Sylvia’s mother says “Sylvia’s busy”  
“Too busy to come to the phone”  
Sylvia’s mother says “Sylvia’s tryin’”  
“To start a new life of her own”  
Sylvia’s mother says “Sylvia’s happy”  
“So why don’t you leave her alone?”

And the operator says “40 cents more for the next 3 minutes”  
Ple-ease Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her  
I’ll only keep her a while  
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Take that!

And if you haven’t had enough, I’ve got _Rhinestone Cowboy_ all queued up.

Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite  
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight  
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite  
And the thought of lovin’ you is getting so exciting  
Sky rockets in flight  
Afternoon delight  
Afternoon delight  
Afternoon delight

That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia,  
That’s the night they hung an innocent man.  
Don’t trust your soul to a backwoods southern lawyer  
When the judge in the town’s got bloodstains on his hands  
WARNING:

I am ALWAYS the last one standing 🆒
