This made me so happy; can I be a Charter Groupie?  
(but I’m also square; to whom shall I address the underwear?)

Don’t You Complain About **meek**.  
\*Sung to the tune of **[Don’t You Forget About Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRrU-tG9uZw)** \*  
\*\*by Simple Minds \*\*  
Performed by **bbs2k** [/right]

\*(Curtain re- opens; lights up & fogger on, intro) \*

Hey, hey, hey ,hey  
Ooooooooooooo…

Why you complain about **meek**?  
He’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby.

I see your troubles and pouts.  
He promised you everything inside and out.  
The dude’s strange - his posts are a lark  
Think of the other things that he was working on.

This post may pull us apart, but  
That’s why he gave me a part, baby.

Don’t you ~ complain about **meek**  
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t  
Don’t you ~ complain about **meek**

I read your post above me.  
“Look my way, you said you loved me”  
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling  
::Frown, frown, frown::

Will you pit surprise **meek**?  
Call him names or let it slide?  
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling  
::Frown, frown, frown::

Hey, hey, hey, hey  
Oooooooooooooo…

Don’t you - try to pretend  
It’s my feeling he’ll win in the end  
Don’t harm him or touch his sentences  
Don’t make me call security

Don’t you complain about **meek**  
He’ll be alone, lurking you know it baby.  
If he gave you the part  
Would it put us back together at heart, baby?

Don’t you ~ complain about **meek**  
Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t  
Don’t you ~ complain about **meek**

Will you let it slide?  
Will you call him names?  
Just you let it slide.  
Please don’t call him names.  
Just you walk away.

Or will you walk away?  
Will you walk on by?  
One day he’ll call your name  
I say Laaa la la la daaaa, Laaa la la daaaaa…

_(Refrain, fade to black)_

_(curtain closes)_  
\*\*Thanks Everybody! \*\*

I normally hate song parodies, with very few exceptions. Those were excellent.

Bravo.

I have been in desperate need of a really good smile and at least a half hearted laugh - this and the two previous threads have done the job.

Absolutely awesome, excellent, brilliant stuff.

Thanks. Even if just one Doper cracked a smile it’s all worth it.

Your posts make me smile all the time, I’m glad I could return the favor.

Sorry. I asked… but the wife won’t let me have groupies or receive undies by mail. ☹

So I guess you’ll have to send the underwear to:

Chicago Reader  
11 East Illinois Street  
Chicago, IL 60611  
Attn: E. Zotti

He’ll know what to do with it.

:::applause::::

Meek, I’ve always been a closet worshipper of yours. (No, that’s not an altar back there, it’s just … old shoes. Yeah, all my old Birkinstocks…)

Seriously, you always make ME smile with your sweetness and creativity. Thanks for the show!
