I have to post it, because maybe it will free me, like when Mel Brooks passed his uncrossable crossed fingers to his secretary in “Silent Movie”. (“By the way, Mary, congratulations on your mother’s marriage!”)

“Pour some sugar on me!!!”

SO cygnus had the misfortune to hear this on the radio yesterday and couldn’t change the station in time, so it was subsequently transmitted to me when he told me about the horror. Please, let this cup pass.

**DRY** hon,

I don’t want to muscle in on Kathryn’s time, here, [sub]like I really mean that, but I want to keep this civil[/sub] but **I** will let you keep the remote **AND** control the music. [sub]Unless you intend to assault my ears with opera. Opera makes me take to my bed.[/sub]

Just a thought, sweetheart!

It’s too damned early… here’s something inane:

“My bay-bee takes the morning train.  
He works from 9 to 5 and then  
he takes another home again  
to find me waiting for him.”

Feh. It gives me the willies. I’ll even wash my head out with opera!😃 😛

I love this song, but sometimes the way they sing it pisses me off:

Scar tissue that ah wish you sawww  
sarcasticmister knowit-awwwll  
close yer eyes an aahl kiss you cuuuus  
With the birds ah she-heer  
with the birds ah share this a-lone-ley vieew and,  
with the birds ah share this a-lone-ley vieew and,  
a-push me up against the wa-awl  
youngkentuckygirl in a push-up - braaw  
fallin all - over ma self to lift yo heart and taste yo health cus  
with the birds ah share this a-lone-ley vieew and,  
with the birds ah share this a-lone-ley vieew and,  
with the birds ah share this a-lone-ley vieeeeeeeeeeew  
blood lawws in a bathroom stawl  
a southern girl with a sky lit drawwl  
ah wave good bye to maw and paw cauws  
with the birds ah she-heere.

etc.

Come on knock our door (come on knock on our door)  
We’ll be waiting for you (we’ll be waiting for you)  
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,  
three’s company too!  
And they called it Puppy Love,  
just because we’re in our teens  
Tell them all, oh can I tell them  
this is not a puppy love  
SOME ONE HELP ME! HELP ME! HELP ME PLEEEAAHHHEEAASSE!  
Or how about…

A woman that I know just came from Columbia  
She smiled because I did not understand  
Then she held out some marijuana uh huh  
she said it was the finest in the land…

And I said No No No  
I don’t smoke it no more.  
I’m tired of wakin’ up on the floor  
No thank you please it only makes me sneeze  
And then it makes it hard to find the door!  
Or,

Rock the Boat (don’t rock the boat baby)  
Rock the Boat (don’t tip the boat over!)  
Or,

The tide is high and I’m movin’ on  
I’m gonna be your number one  
I could go on forever with this!

## Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree It’s been three long years Do ya still want me? (still want me) If I don’t see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree I’ll stay on the bus Forget about us Put the blame on me If I don’t see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

## Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky

## Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There won’t be any trumpets blowing Come the judgement day On the bloody morning after who… One tin soldier rides away

I heard my mama cry  
I heard her pray the night Chicago died  
Brother what a night it really was  
Brother what a fight it really was  
Glory be!  
Yeah, I grew up in the '70s.

Here’s some more 70’s torture:

I’m sleeping  
and right in the middle of a good dream  
like all at once I wake up  
from something that keeps knocking at my brain.  
Before I go insane,  
I hold my pillow to my head,  
and spring up in my bed  
screaming out the words I dread:  
“I THINK I LOVE YOU!!!”  
(I think I love youuuuuuuuuuu…)

* * *

I rode my bicycle past your window last night.  
I rollerskated to your door at daylight.  
It almost seems  
like you’re avoiding me.  
I’m okay alone,  
but you’ve got something I neeeeeeeed…

Well, IIIIIIIIIIIIII’ve got a brand new  
pair of rollerskates,  
You’ve got a brand new keyyyyyyy…

:eek:
