Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me…

Oooh…Rhonda…our first signs of serious incompatability. I like both of these songs! :eek:

Actually, the first one makes me laugh because a Wayans brother sings it in the “Blacks without Soul” sketch in “Amazon Women on the Moon”.

I have to confess there are at least six other songs in this thread that I really like. And only two or three I truly detest. I have terrible taste in music.

Deb2world posted the one I was going to, by the way.

Ha! That’s funny. I like a LOT of the songs in this thread! So we’re still compatible! Only problem I have is when one of them gets stuck in my head and won’t go away…

Like:

Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-tope, cut my heal, had to cruise on back home…but there’s booze in the blender, and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on…Wastin’ away again in Margarita-ville…

(Appropriate for someone who’s on vacation, no?)

Pop-TOP, dammit. My typing skills are on vacation, too!

That does it… Time to drag out the song I used to torment a co-worker with when he got too annoying…

Gramma got run over by a reigndeer,  
Walking home from our house, christmas eve.  
You might say there’s no such thing as Santa.  
But as for me and Granpa, we believe!

Wake me up before you go-go  
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo  
Wake me up before you go-go  
I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high  
Wake me up before you go-go  
‘Cause I’m not plannin’ on going solo  
Wake me up before you go-go  
Take me dancing tonight  
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
