    I wonder if C&T cut a new version for Richard Gere. :-X :-X

    My money, if I had any, would be on Bohemian Rhapsody, followed closely by You Never Even Called Me By My Name by David Allan Coe.

    Can't you see that I am all for your love
    Now, Now -
    Can't you see
    Can't you see
    How much I need some more love
    Baby
    Can't you see
    Can't you see
    Ever since we kissed that night
    Ever since I held you tight
    I just don't want nobody else
    So put your lips on mine
    Leave them there 'til the morning time
    Lord don't leave me by myself

    Lay a little lovin' on me
    Lay a little lovin' on me
    Honey doggone it
    I depend upon it
    So lay a little lovin' on me
    You're gonna want me Babe
    Lay a little lovin' on me
    Lay a little lovin' on me
    Honey doggone it
    I depend upon it
    So lay a little lovin' on me

    Yeah but Micro, listen to her songs and wonder what kind of life choices she makes. There's something seriously wrong with the insatiable jones she has for the Cap'n's Crotch.

    Nearly all of their songs are about humping that mustachioed freak of nature.

    What kind of demon magic was he weaving over that woman? It sure as hell wasn't his looks, his sartorial splendor (he looked like he got kicked out of an Old Spice ad), his ability to play piano/keyboard, his ability to write a song, his ability to have less facial hair than a Muppet (they were kind of disturbing when they were on that show), his ability to keep chili out of his 'stache, his ability to not cause a third-degree chaffe burn when he went to town on Tenielle's muskrat.

    Whatever Kuma Sutra-like power he had must have been prodigious, because, seriously, who would fuck that?

    I disagree, Bub.
    I've got a certain respect and even admiration for Captain Dragon.
    It's not easy to make that look work, but he did it somehow.
    Not a choice I would make, but I respect it.
     
  7. Muskrat Susie?

    And what else would you expect "Pigeons" to do?  ;D

    Try "Whodunnit" ... Genesis, post-Hackett era of course. Not one of the group's shining moments.

    Was it you or was it me?
    Or was it he or she?
    Was it A or was it B?
    Or was it X or Z?

    Was it you or was it me?
    Or was it he or she?
    Who dunnit?

    I didn't do it....
    But we all know who did it

    I kinda like that song. It's clearly a blowoff song, but it's catchy.

    Did anybody do nonsense lyrics better than The Turtles?


    You got a thing about you
    I just can't live without you
    I really want you, Elenore, near me
    Your looks intoxicate me
    Even though your folks hate me
    There's no one like you, Elenore, really

    Elenore, gee I think you're swell
    And you really do me well
    You're my pride and joy, et cetera
    Elenore, can I take the time
    To ask you to speak your mind
    Tell me that you love me better

    I really think you're groovy
    Let's go out to a movie
    What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?
    They'll turn the lights way down low
    Maybe we won't watch the show
    I think I love you, Elenore, love me

    Elenore, gee I think you're swell
    And you really do me well
    You're my pride and joy, et cetera
    Elenore, can I take the time
    To ask you to speak your mind
    Tell me that you love me better

    There's actually a pretty good story about this song. At the time The Turtles were trying to make a foray into psychedelia, but their label insisted that they should be recording more knockoffs of "Happy Together". So, in repsonse Flo and Eddie wrote "Elenore" in about ten minutes and submitted it as a single in the hope that their label would realize how ridiculous it was and that they would finally get to record what they wanted. Unfortunately for them, the label loved the song.
