One more time, because I haven’t given any new songs in a awhile (and from the sounds of it, you’re right, **MrBoy** , and you oughtta know this one: You extend your arm to me. You greet me in a powerful, formal manner. You then proceed to deliver a monologue, describing the best chance you have to enter the business in a successful manner. You first attempt to seduce me, with the likelyhood that our congress will injure me in a serious manner. Then, when you discover that you have gained all the advantages I can bestow upon you, you leave me callously. I’ll give ya the first line. “Stick your right hand out.” And a couple new ones: Forthwith, this group, of which I am a representative, refuses to tolerate the current conditions, from this time forth. * * * So it came to pass that I implored of the operator of the establishment, “Observe, friend, perambulate to my location.” The gentleman arrived in my vicinity, and queried, “Tell me, what are your requirements?” I responded thusly: “One vessel whose contents were formed from not less than 51% corn, a second vessel with contents derived primarily from barley, and a third created by the cunning use of hops.” * * * There isn’t a person extant who comprehends the condition of being an incarnation of evil, a figure of abject misery, located on the posterior of indigo hued visual organs. ---

The subject is currently an adolescent of the immediately pre-teenage variety. After the current biennial has completed, she shall be engaged in harlotry. No person has yet undertaken to inform her that such actions compose a misguided method of providing for onesself and one’s family. ---

Skeezix…is that…Billy Squier’s “The Stroke”? Is that the bastard that’s been sitting around all this time? George Thorogood and the Destroyers “One Burbon, One Scotch, One Beer” That last one is the Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes” ---

Meaaaaanwhile, Terminator’s 80’s metal song is turning my brain into mush-G&R? Crue? Dokken? Van Halen? Debbie Gibson? I know that I have sung along with that one, but I just can’t place it… and there are still other unsolved mysteries on the string. ---

Here’s a hint: It is a 1980’s \*thrash metal \* song(a bit more specific than saying its an 80’s metal song) ---
