"Downtown"

ARGH!!!!!! Now see what you've done! You've incited me to violence!

[weegee]

The antidote to that one is to recall the flip side:

(to the tune of Rag Mop:)
-F-
I say F-I
F-I-N
F-I-N-K
Fink!
F-I-N-K. Fink! Fink! Fink! Fink!

-R-
I say R-A
R-A-T. R-A-T-T. Rat!
R-A-T-T F-I-N-K!

Rat Fink!
Yeah! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Rat Fink!
Yeah! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
R-A-T-T F-I-N-K. Rat Fink!
You fink!

Amazing Grace to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song. (shudder)

Me and You and a Dog Named Blue

[SubSailor]

She sits on the dock a fishin' in the water uh, huh
I don't know her name she's the fisherman's daughter uh, huh
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down where we can play
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down we'll sail away.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
totally motionless except for her heart
mud flowed up into lump's pyjammas
she totally confused all the passing piranhas
she's lump she's lump
she's in my head
she's lump she's lump she's lump
she might be dead
lump lingered last in line for brains
and the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane
small thing's so sad that birds could land
is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band

she's lump she's lump
she's in my head
she's lump she's lump she's lump
she might be dead

lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
she spent her twenties between the sheets
life limped along at subsonic speeds

she's lump she's lump
she's in my head
she's lump she's lump she's lump
she might be dead

is this lump out of my head i think so
is this lump out of my head i think so
is this lump out of my head i think so
is this lump out of my head

[Manic_Episode]

THATS the way uh huh uh huh
I LIKE it uh huh uh huh
THATS the way uh huh uh huh
I LiKE it uh huh uh huh

[Skooz]

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo
Travelling and living on the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man...


I kind of like that one. Reminds me of the 5th grade when it was popular.

[SubSailor]

What's new pussycat? Woah, Woah
What's new pussycat? Woah, Woah

[Xenalyte]

There's a strange one in the jungle
And I think I hear him calling my name
There's a strange one in the jungle
And he's offering death without pain . . .

[ChemistCat]

Is that a SONG???????

[weegee]

Since reading only the first page, my mind keeps racing through songs. They've kinda become a medley.

Reminds of those K-Tel record ads that played ad naseum on tv in the 70s and 80s. They gave you snippets of songs but the ads had so much rotation that they created virtually created their own "remix" of the hits. There was one albums of songs from the 1950s and 60s and there was the odd lyric combination of:

Bend me shape me won't come back from dead man's curve.

[Xenalyte]

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight . . .

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when i fall asleep i don't think i'll survive the night, the night.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

Well, i can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when i fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, i try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me.

[null and void]

How about Stairway to Gilligan's Island?

[Yaelle]

Have there been any Wiggles songs? I think that "Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes" should be pumped in to Gitmo to provoke confessions.

Ever hear Green Haze by Elvis Hitler? Green Acres sung over Purple Haze.
