Listening to _Mr. Bass_ by the Descendents a few years ago, I always heard the name of one of our then-dopers instead of the actual lyrics. It _said_: _“I’ll see Mr. Bass, to-mor-row”_ But _I heard:_ _“I’ll see Mr. Badtz Maru”_ Ok, not as relevant I guess since I don’t think that guy is around anymore, but recently I was listening to _I Guess that’s why they call it the Blues_ by Elton John, and the lyric _I heard_ was: “_Laughin’ like children Livin’ like lovers_ **Roland Deschain** _Under the coooovers!_” Anyone else? ---

Pikers. Top THIS: _(Sung to the tune of “One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies)_ I’ve been Posting to the SDMB With Sam Stone, Philosphr, matt\_mcl and that chick Eve Five days since in ATMB I was told about this place by good old Ed Zotti Three days since a post party With Boyo Jim, Tuckerfan, and CrazyCatLady Yesterday I got a warning for free From Gaudere, saying “Don’t be a jerk, see.” (Hold it now, I’m in GD MGibson, Marky33 Futile Gesture’s educating me Wanna know about the coal Eva Persson’s who you wanna know She used to be Anthracite in 2003 Airman Doors adds a point then And then there’s BobLibDem rjung’s all about bashing Bush Guinastasia’s into Romanovs Brutus likes Kalashnikovs And RickJay, me, I’ve got a nice tush I always mix up minty green and ElvisL1ves I don’t know why but Ginger lives In the States though she’s Canadian So read the threads cause talking heads Like Airman Doors will take the floor And TroyMcClure, oh I admit That was the shit Doors and McClure don’t really rhyme) How can I help the fact that Liberal’s funny 'cause he’s mad? Get both I’s in Jackmannii or else you’ll feel bad Still I laugh when Cartooniverse makes a funny gag And to keep the rhyming going: Vix, Priceguy, and Nametag I’ll toss in a few mods just to keep it straight TubaDiva - no wait, she administrates It’s been One week since Ilsa\_Lund stood up and introduced Paul Verhoeven and all the crap he’s produced Five days since Cisco started this thread Actually, thirty minutes, and jsgoddess will be soon ahead Three days since Johnny L.A. Told us about choppers he’ll fly again some day smiling bandit won’t cap off his name zev\_steinhardt, kunilou, and silenus are all the same (Nobody knows how many O’s are in Snoooopy Paul in Saudi’s in Saudi And ChinaGuy’s in China RikWriter’s name is Rick And Bricker’s Rick, and Rick is Rick NinjaChick has got the kicks She’s the chick whose kicks will have you licked ISiddiqui’s name’s confusing ivylass won’t be losing What a lame rhyme, Polycarp will make fun of that Ryan Liam, irishgirl, JohnT, Rashak Mani’ll give it a whirl The rhymes are getting worse I’m only halfway through and running outta user names) How can I help it if ralph124c confuses me? Though not like Seethruart, it was “wingless shuttles” he could see There were mixed opinions about booting Collounsbury And speaking of banned posters, let’s laugh about ol’ JDT Straight from Tricor, here’s Bosda Di’Chi Incubus, monica, kingpengvin and Shalmanese It’s been One week since SentientMeat Posted Political Compass Question number ninety-three Five days since SPOOJE and grienspace Posted replies to something said by You With The Face Three days since xtisme and CarnalK Constructed a “1920’s-style death ray” That was the first time I’ve ever typed out that phrase It’ll still be two days 'til I say I’m sorry Still be two days 'til I say I’m sorry Hi Opal! ---

You should have gone for “We Didn’t Start the Fire” instead. Would have lent itself to the task more easily, especially if you broke the stanzas into years like the song does for decades. Actually, didn’t someone do that before? I’m off to do a search. ---

Found it. > [@umop ap!sdn](#): > > Just had an idea while waking up this morning. We could do an official SDMB song, to the tune of We Didn’t Start The Fire, and have each catchphrase linked to its original thread, post, or whatever.
