Even more minimalist:
“Tequila!”
" "
Theme From ‘A Summer Place’ 1960
and now, returning to our regularly scheduled trip-over-the-garbage…
"On Friday we’ll be jacked up on the football game
And I’ll be ready to fight
We’re gonna smash 'em now
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
And she’ll be yelling tonight
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl, now
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school…"
…come with me and see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.
Moody Blues
“Backfield in motion, yeah,
I’m gonna have to penalize you
Backfield in motion, baby,
You know that’s against the rules.”
Mary wants to be a super woman
But is that really in her head
But I just want to live each day to love her
For what she is, mmm
Mary wants to be another movie star
But is that really in her mind
And all the things she wants to be
She needs to leave behind
But, very well
I believe I know you very well
Wish that you knew me too very well
And I think I can deal with everything
Going through your head
Thanks for the compliment, happy heathen. I’m honored. Here are a couple more for the count. (OK, so the first one may be a novelty song. I still hated it)
Short People got no reason to live
And
Well that’s a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don’t cry to me. No, don’t cry to me.
Well, jeez, maybe if you’d quit making short jokes I wouldn’t [n]need* to cry.
Janie’s Got A Gun.
Janie’s got a gun
The whole thing’s come undone.
Janie’s got a gun.
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his bra-ain
“Cause nobody believes me.
The man is such a sleaze.”
It ain’t never gonna be the sa-ame.
CJ
These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
CJ - EVERYTHING by Newman is a novelty (and I LIKED “Short People” (also “Burn On”, but…)).
What was the second one?
“Janie” ? surely you can come up with something lower than that?!
meezer - Yup, “Boots” has been done. The artist does have 2 more bits of dreck on the old resume, neither of which has been done.
All Hail the Thread That Wouldn’t Die!!!
So, are you thinking of Sugar Town by Nancy Sinatra and Somethin’ Stupid by Nancy and Frank Sinatra? Please don’t make me try to recall the lyrics. My head hurts enough now.
I wonder if we can get this thread up over 700. Is it possible, happyheathen?
Mona -
700? anything is possible, if you are truly sick…
“Somethin’ Stupid” was one of the ones I had in mind.
the other:
"When I woke up, the sun was shinin’ in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin’ for more summer wine
More summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel’s kiss in Spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things…"
and, to complete the Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra trilogy-from-Hell:
Sand
"Male:
Young woman shared her fire with me.
Now warms herself with memory.
I was a stranger in her land.
A wandering man, she called me sand.
Female:
He was a stranger in my land.
A wandering man.
Male:
She called me sand"
the third was “Some Velvet Morning”, above
anybody remember a really, REALLY creepy set of father/daughter songs from a few years back?
Nat “King” Cole and Natalie Cole? I believe it was studio trickery that allowed then to sing duets, since he had died years before.
That’s the one…
p.s. - if you remember the song, it is acceptable to use Google to get exact lyrics…
[sub]Cause we gotta little convoy, rockin’ through the night
Yeah we gotta little convoy, ain’t she a beautiful sight?
[/sub]
700? no prob…
It’s drek you want, is it?
“I prayed and prayed
To the Lord
To send you back to me
But when you came
To me it was
Only in my dreams
Mayyyyyybe”
“Maybe” by the Chantels. Entered the charts in January, 1958.
Martian -
if you MUST post dupes, at least spread them out a little, 'K? 
(see page 12)
“We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.”
-Seasons in the Sun, Terry Jacks.
This played on the office musak today.:eek:
I guess I thought you’d be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
Don’t know what you got until it’s gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if, you were lucky to have me
Doing you a favor
(I hardly knew you were there)
But then you were gone
And it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
(Now) being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
(But) I don’t want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting (any) easier
It’s the hardest thing to take
I’m addicted to you (babe)
You’re a hard habit to break
Rhubarb -
Welcome to the party.
Sadly, “Seasons in the Sun” was done on page 1.
everyone:
email bushy_hare (underscore!) at yahoo if you’d like the list to date. It is a gem to be treasured!
DAMN! That’s humiliating! Sorry about that folks. I mussa’ been a’ drinkin’ one of these times, but right now I just can’t figger which when it was.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
Every heartbeat belongs to you.
