Aaaahhh...
Lovely Rita hurricane
Lovely Rita hurricane
Lovely Rita hurricane
Look at the Gulf between us
Come to my aid and kindly fade away
Listen to the frightened shrimpers
Making little frightened whimpers
Looking for a harbor where they can be saved
Your whitecaps are running higher
See the fear that you inspire
You were once a warm little tropical storm
Lovely Rita hurricane
May I inquire discreetly (Lovely Rita)
Would you refrain from dumping rain on me? (Lovely Rita, storm, ah)
Rita!
Finally got my windows boarded
Gasoline and water hoarded
Thought I maybe could be crazy and stay
Now I wait and watch the weather
The neighborhood has pulled together
Waiting and watching to see what we'll do
Oh, lovely Rita hurricane
I could so do without you
The mudflats stink and make me think of you (Lovely Rita hurricane)
Lovely Rita hurricane, Rita hurricane (Lovely Rita hurricane)
Oh Lovely Rita hurry hurricane (Lovely Rita hurricane)
Ah da, ah da (Lovely Rita hurricane)
I like it!
Much better than some song parodies I've seen here.
CD, did Floyd flood you out? We were high and (relatively) dry over here on Avent street, but two blocks over folks were getting rescued by boat.
Gotta Midi?..........
General goofiness ping.
Well, the song has been going around in my head of late. Nice to have some more appropriate lyrics. "Fixing a Hole (Where the Rain Gets In)" also comes to mind.
"Not I," said the dog.
Good. I knew I couldn't have been the only one!
Step away from your brain.
I applaud you. You are DFU's protege!
Here, I found one.........

Not sure what he'd think of that...
As long as you don't start getting too chummy with Sean Hannity and Hugh Hewitt, DFU may let you slide! ;o)
How about "They Call The Wind Maria..."
I think Rita is a cutey!
The only way I want to call this wind is long-distance!
Imagine no Sarandon…and no Martin Sheen
Farrell's aborted…Assner remains unseen
Imagine all these a-hoes…just going away
(I can dream)
There is no Sean Penn preaching…and Jessica Lange croaked
We won't have to hear Baldwin…Clooney's a washed-up joke
Imagine all these a-hoes…just going away
You might tell me….DFU, you're too much of a dreamer
But, oh, that world would be great
Perhaps at least we could go and gag them all
That's a FReep we would love to celebrate
Imagine Barbra Streisand…keeping her big nose
Out of our leaders' war plans…'cause those guys are pros
Imagine all these a-hoes…just going away
You might tell me….DFU, you're too much of a dreamer
But, oh, that world would be great
Perhaps at least we could go and gag them all
That's a FReep we would love to celebrate
No, it didn't.
I live in Edgecombe County, approx. 1/2 mile south of the Tar River.
Our side of the river is at a higher elevation than the N side, which got clobbered.
However, due to the proximity of the creeks, we were on a virtual island for days.
No houses close by (within ~1 mile) on our side of the river got flooded, so my friend & I helped out by cutting fallen trees, etc.
Ok, help me here,
What is the tune of this song (OK, so I don't know...shoot me!)
