you put the lyrics in the double-quotes,
send them down to google…
Doctor, doctor, Mr. MD…
anyway, that dreck 1[sup]ST[/sup] class (Rico, please copy) is:
Go Down Easy
by our old friend, Dan Fogelberg
I’ve been having a heck of a time accessing this board lately, so pardon the infrequent posts…
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight.
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home to meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood.
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-I
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie
Louie, Louie you’re gonna cry.
Thanks, happyheathen. I’m relatively new to computers and am still learning basic things. I appreciate your helpfulness.
More dreck:
What goes up, must come down.
Spinning wheel, got to go 'round.
Talk about your troubles,
Its a crying sin.
Ride the painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin.
Ah yes, Brother Louie, by Stories
Knew somebody would do it. Glad it wasn’t me 
"Circle of hands, cold spirits’ plan,
searching my land for an enemy.
Came across love’s sweet cost
and in the face of beauty evil was lost.
Sky full of eyes. Minds full of lies.
Black from their cold hearts down to their graves.
Murder the dawn. Spreading their scorn.
Cursing the sun of which love was born…"
[sub]Wild Thing, I think I love you, But I wanna know for sure…[/sub]
(“Jesus loves the little children
All the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world”)
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter’s day
And everybody’s beautiful in their own way
And under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way.
gotta watch those sneaky little subscripts…
(I also count ANY song referenced, dreck or not)
[sub]Let the midnight special shine it’s light on me, let the midnight special shine it’s ever-loving light on me[/sub]
(See? now 487!)
By definition, “West Side Story” is not dreck… (and I have issues with the Rodgers & Hammerstein and Mack the Knife selections as well.)
But how this thread could have gone on this long without someone listing
"You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me
Song she sang to me - song she brang to me"
is simply beyond me.
Now for the Coca-Cola song, presented by the New Seekers:
I’d like to teach the world to sing
in perfect haromny.
I’l like to hold it in my arms
and keep it company.
I’d like to see the world for once
all standing hand in hand
and hear them echo through the hill
“Ah, peace throughout the land”.
[sub]People,
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world…[/sub]

I cannot believe I just sat here and read this WHOLE thread!! God I gotta get a hobby!!
Anyway I haven’t seen the epitomy of dreck!! To whit:
C’mon without , C’mon within
Youve not seen nothing like the mighty quinn…
Oh well, maybe there is alcohol in O’douls after all??
Live it down
There’s a lot of us been pushed around
Red, yellow, black, white and brown
With a tear of their own
Can’t you see
While you’re pickin’ on society
That the leaves on your family tree
Are callin’ you to come home.
You’re the keeper of the castle
So be a father to your children
The provider of all their daily needs
Like a sovereign lord protector
Be their destiny’s director
And they’ll do well to follow where you lead.
but, if I hear:
“Oye como va mi ritmo
Bueno pa gozar mulata
Oye como va mi ritmo
Bueno pa gozar mulata…”
one more time…
[sub]some day my prince will come, Some day I’l find my love…[/sub]
(don’t you DARE say that!)
"Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well it it’s not easy, but I’ll try…
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir, with love…"
[sub]“It went ‘Zip’ when it moved
And ‘Pop’ when it stopped,
‘Whirrr’ when it stood still
I never knew just what it was
And I guess I never will.”
My Marvelous Toy[/sub]
My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
I never find him home
I go to his house
Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don’t live here no more

It’s coming closer, the flames are now lickin’ my body
Won’t you help me, I feel like I’m slippin’ away, yeah
It’s hard to breathe, my chest is a-heavin’, hmm, hmm
Lord have mercy, I’m burning a whole where I lay, yeah.
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love.
I’m just a hunk-a, hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a, hunk-a burning love
A hunk-a, hunk-a burning love
A hunk-a, hunk-a burning love
A hunk-a, hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a hunk-a burning love
I’m just a hunk-a hunk-a burning love
"Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire…"
Heathen, I’ve got another reason to love you – I was just thinking of The Marvelous Toy a few hours ago. Since I just mentioned this one over at What Are the Saddest Songs You Know?, let me add it to the list, in case we missed it.
*If we both were bo-orn in another place and time
This moment might be ending with a kiss. . .
*[Lyric mercifully forgotten] . . .
So I guess we’ll just be leaving it at this
I love you
I Honestly Love You
as sung by Olivia Newton-John. Also a song I cringe every time I hear it (it’s a little too close to my real name:)
Sweet Caroline
Good times never felt so good
I’d be inclined
To believe they never would
And now I
Look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two.
And finally, from my least favorite artist,
I want a lover who won’t drive me crazy
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
I want a lover who won’t drive me crazy
Some girl who knows the meaning of “Hey, hit the highway.”
A case of a marvelous instrumental ruined by awful lyrics.

“Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town.
Sometimes I take a great notion,
To jump into the river and drown”
FWIW
After lurking on these boards for 3 years, I am moved to post my first post.
Damn you all.

Also…
I treasure your love, I never want to lose it, You been through the fires of hell,
And I know you’ve got the ashes to prove it,
I treasure your love,
I want to show you how to use it,
You’ve been through a lot of pain in the dirt,
And I know you’ve got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you,
And I’m tellin’ you again that its true,
You’re never alone 'cause you can put on the phones,
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do.
The beat is yours forever,
The beat is always true,
And when you really, really need it the most,
That’s when rock and roll dreams come through.
(by Jim Steinman, who wrote or co-wrote many Meat Loaf tunes)
Does anyone else own Rhino Records’ “Have A Nice Day” CD collection?
I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:
Fire, I’ll take you to burn.
Fire, I’ll take you to learn.
I’ll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned,
but all of it’s going to burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you’ve really been so blind.
Now 's your time burn your mind.
You’re falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you’ve done.
Fire, to end all you’ve become.
I’ll feel you burn!
You’ve been living like a little girl,
in the middle of your little world.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you’ve really been so blind.
Now 's your time burn your mind,
you’re falling far too far behind.
the #47 song of the year 1968 by The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
