Queen- Don't stop me now

Well, my phone rang so I didn't have much choice. :P Good one, anyway. :nod:

Shouldn't you be talking to them at this moment rather than listening to the ringtone and posting on Villatalk?

Nope, "private no". Don't answer. Know what it is. Or at least, think I know what it is about and I can't bother to answer. Rather listen to that song. :nod: Even if it doesn't even get out of the intro.

Howard Stern & The Dust Brothers - Tortured Man

A radio star, I hate my TV

My life is on film, yet it sucks being me

My life's a wreck, I'm bored with sex

I've got a big nose and a skinny neck

I can't sing, I can't dance

I make money to talk about the junk in my underpants

I'm a tortured man, I'm a tortured man

I can't believe I am who I am

When Teri Hatcher was on my show

She came onto me, I was tempted to go

Heather Locklear, she thinks I'm great

I would bet my life I could get her on the first date

Courtney Love, Madonna, and Sharon Stone

I could get them all together and make each one moan

Tammy, Raquel, Carmen, Jenny McCarthy, Demi, I mean Demi

I'm a tortured man, I'm a tortured man

I can't believe I am who I am

I like my farts, I'm immature

They say I'm great, but I'm not sure

My whole life sucks, each minute blows

This gangly body, this monstrous nose

This droopy ass, this tiny shween

No wonder I get on the air and act so mean

I wish my life were much more simple

I've got a wookie the size of a pimple

I'm a tortured man, I'm a tortured man

I can't believe I am who I am

Jimmy Buffett - Biloxi

Down around Biloxi

Pretty girls are swimming in the sea

They all look like sisters in the ocean

Boy will fill his pail with salty water

And the storms will blow from off toward New Orleans

The sun shines on Biloxi

The air is filled with vapors from the sea

The boy will dig a pool beside the ocean

He sees creatures from his dreams underwater

And the sun will set from off toward New Orleans

Stars can see Biloxi

Stars can find their faces in the sea

We are walking down beside the ocean

We are splashing naked in the water

And the sky is red from off toward New Orleans

One type of song that has come into increasing prominence recently is the folk song of protest. You have to admire people who sing these songs. It takes a certain amount of courage to get up in a coffeehouse or college auditorium and come out in favor of the things that everybody else is against, like peace, justice, brotherhood, and so forth. The nicest thing about a folk song is that it makes you feel so good.

I have a song here which I realize should be accompanied on a folk instrument, in which category I realize the piano does not, alas, qualify, so imagine if you will, that I am playing an 88-string guitar.

We are the folk song army

Every one of us cares

We all hate poverty, war, and injustice

Unlike the rest of you squares

There are innocuous folk songs, yeah

But we regard 'em with scorn

The folks who sing 'em have no social conscience

Why, they don't even care if jimmy crack corn

If you feel dissatisfaction

Strum your frustrations away

Some people may prefer action

But give me a folk song any old day

The tune don't have to be clever

And it don't matter if you put a couple of extra syllables into a line

It sounds more ethnic if it ain't good English

And it don't even gotta rhyme -- excuse me, rhyne

Remember the war against Franco?

That's the time where each of us belongs

Though he may have won all the battles

We had all the good songs

So join in the folk song army

Guitars are the weapons we bring

To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice

Ready! Aim! Sing!

I had no idea that that was the original version. Sounds like a bit of a classic. How thoroughly ignorant of me. I'd only ever heard this rather different take on it:

High Contrast

**** hell - that's awful! :-)

Slayer did a half decent version of it back in the late 80's, nothing can touch the original 17 minute version though!
