Pop star Madonna drew massive applause from a sold-out crowd in Paris when she dedicated her version of John Lennon’s peace ode Imagine to the Russian hostage crisis.
Addressing the audience midway through her show last night, Madonna spoke briefly about the tragedy at a Russian school that left at least 350 dead, including pupils, teachers and mothers.
As video images of war and children were broadcast behind her on giant screens, the pop diva urged her fans at Paris’ Bercy stadium to think about what happened in Russia and to think about Lennon’s lyrics.
Who can ever forget the profound, soul-searching lyrics to "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"??? I certainly haven't. And here they are!
Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Chorus: No one will be watching us. Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? (Chorus) Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? (Chorus) Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? Why don't we do it in the road? (Chorus)
Note - I was worried about JimRob getting in trouble due to my posting copyrighted material, so I only posted an excerpt above. I left out the 3rd verse.
Or was it the 4th verse? Darn. I'm not sure.
beautiful song...
Personally, it sets my teeth on edge.
