Something in Red, Lorrie Morgan

_I’m looking for something in red  
Something that’s shocking to turn someone’s head  
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there  
Stockings and garters and lace underwear  
The guaranteed number to knock the men dead  
I’m looking for something in red_

Hey, that wasn’t there by **Lola** when I _started_ the post. Besides, it’s a Neil Diamond song covered by UB40. (I previewed but the **Kat** simulpost hid the other, really!)

Heathen, believing that music trivia should be an individual sport, tosses this to all:

“They grew and grew up the old church wall  
Till they could grow no higher  
And at the top twined a lover’s knot  
The **red** rose and the briar”
