someone said that Freddie Mercury is dead (which I didn't know) so I guess a bit more Queen is in order:

So, it seems that Another One Bites the Dust as we lose celebrities left and right this year.  From the Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy to the Fat Bottomed Girls, no one can escape the icy fingers In the Death Cell.  That's what you get when you Play The Game of life.  But We Are the Champions of our own fates, The Hero to our friends and family, the dreamer who will fly In the Space Capsule someday.  So sit back and Party with The Miracle that is life, and in the end you won't have to ask "Was It All Worth It?"

I met a Missionary Man a few days ago- well The Last Time I was In This Town I guess.
I had a Thorn In My Side and he said "Lets Go I know someone who can Take Your Pain Away and all that will happen is a bit of memory loss. And if we leave now we can be there When Tomorrow Comes"
When I woke up after the thorn removal I saw him and said:
"I Remember You or A Little Of You at least."
He smiled and said "That's the Miracle Of Love".

How about Michael Jackson's Thriller Album.

After the Thriller himself told Billie Jean to Beat it paul McCartney started telling him "The Girl Is Mine" But Michael was having none of it and so challenged Paul to a fight "Wanna Be Startin' Sometin'" He yelled. And because fighting is part of Human Nature when it comes to girls like that Pretty Young Thing they did. After Michael won the fight he said To Billie Baby Be Mine but she just smiled and McCartney replied "Billie's mine and she will always be The Lady In My Life".

I thought I'd try my hand at some Fleetwood Mac...from the Mirage album:

Oh Diane...I Wish You Were Here to Hold Me so that I can gaze into the Eyes of the World.  But That's Alright, I realize that I Can't Go Back, no matter what the Book of Love may say.  As I sit Straight Back in my chair and gaze upon the Empire State, I wonder where my Gypsy has gone.  There would be new Love In Store for me, if I were Only Over You.

I used to know a girl named Diane...cute as a button ;)

Despite the principal's Authority Song, my friends and I decided to stuff a Cherry Bomb into the central plumbing.  We rallied the schoolfolk to "Check It Out!" as the walls and pipes came Crumblin' Down, but when the principal came, we tried so hard to remain Without Expression.  It is pretty easy to know what people are capable of in a Small Town, and we felt like Paper In Fire as we were sure we'd be caught.  Miraculously, we got off the hook, and while we Ain't Even Done With the Night, we proceeded to egg all the Pink Houses while blasting R.O.C.K. In The USA on Jack and Diane's Caddy's subwoofer :)

Downtown Life was getting interesting, as the Maneater had struck again.  This time the victim was an All American Girl.  My name is Joe and this is my partner Harry -- we're Private Eyes.  Harry and I were chiding ourselves for the Missed Opportunity we had of nailing this wacko, and we came So Close to Starting All Over Again with the case.  We had a War of Words, and were Talking All Night about possible strategies.  Then I noted the deathly Kiss On My List -- the telltale signature of the villain.  I knew who it was, and before the night ends I know the perp would feel like The Sky Is Falling upon him.

When I first arrived...I found that Animal Love Bites....and it had sent me into a Hysteria which was Bringin' On The Heartbreak. I thought it was Too Late For Love. Then I found someone wonderful, beyond my wildest dreams. Even getting a Photograph from other Women, I know in my heart and soul that she is my one and only. I have fallen off the Rock Of Age(s) and am head over heels in love.  Now the question posed too me is "Am I finally understanding true happiness" to which I reply..."Armegeddon It, oh yes, Armegeddon It!"

I hope this little story touches the Heart of Rock n' Roll fan. Some of my lies are true, but this story is 100% fact. You see, it's a Blue Monday 'cause it's been raining outside. It's Trouble In Paradise, because it's not supposed to be cold and rainy in Florida, but I'll Stop Trying to think that this is a Perfect World. Let me ask you this: Do You Believe In Love? I gotta tell you, it Hit Me Like A Hammer when I saw my lady for the first time. Let me take you Back In Time and tell you about the Power Of Love. When I first asked her out, I knew She's Some Kind Of Wonderful, and I was happy that she wanted to be with me even though I Ain't Perfect. I was so head over heels for her, I took a Couple Days Off just to be with her. I got in trouble, and eventually lost my job, But It's Alright as long as I have my Little Bittie Pretty One. Now, I'm Workin' For A Livin' and Doin' It All For My Baby, because she loves me with all her Heart and Soul.  And finally, I said to myself If This Is It...I don't Want A New Drug. Then, I went up to her and said "I Want You to be with me for the rest of my life". She said, "What about all the other girls?" I said, "Who Cares?" And the rest is history. Now, I'm happy to say to her every night that "I'm Happy To Be Stuck WIth You." I've been stuck with her for 7 years...and I hope tobe stuck with her 70 more!

I felt as if I were Walking On The Moon after I had met Roxanne. We were like two kindred Spirits In The Material World who had survived the Fallout. As the  Invisible Sun began to tear us apart, she cried out "I Can't Stand Losing You" and suddenly I was Driven To Tears. I tried to scream the Bombs Away as we prepared to Bring On The Night. To comfort her I softly sang De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da while she cried..."This Beds Too Big Without You." I felt like a Man In A Suitcase and asked her "Please Don't Stand So Close To Me because Every Breath You Take makes me feel like I'm a Canary in a Coalmine." Now don't get me wrong...I love her so much and feel that "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and I often tell her "Sweetheart, I am definatly Wrapped Around Your Finger and we are so close that I sometimes feel like I'm "Walking In Your Footsteps." The Voices In My Head were soon telling me When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around. Soon things quieted down though, and we were left quietly standing there...just two Shadows in the Rain. She told me "I love being Next To You." It was at that moment I showed her the Message In A Bottle that I'd written while she slept. I had felt as if I were the King of Pain with a Hole In My Life but then I had met her and I realized that sooner or later the Truth Hits Everybody , so off we headed for some Tea in the Sahara after finding out great news....our fellow board member Syncronos informed us that his lovely wife had just given birth to twins, and they named them Synchronicity I and Synchronicity II

Steely Dan brings this back to page 1!

In my younger days, when I had a job doing very Dirty Work, I was getting no respect from co-workers, who referred to me as Hey Nineteen!  It was a very demeaning job as I had come to find out.  You see, the boss was involved in a The Royal Scam and thought with all the money he was pocketing he'd have his own private Countdown To Ecstacy. I tried my best to put Time Out Of Mind and managed to make it out of that private hell. I had a bad case of the Deacon Blues after hearing from Kid Charlamagne that my girlfriend Katy Lied about loving me. As we neared my place he put a piece of paper in my hand saying to me "Rikki, Don't Lose That Number, you don't wanna call nobody else" Home At Last I was curious as to my friends Pretzel Logic which had confused me. He was such a Nightfly who always hung out at the local bar drinking many a Black Cow but I decided to make the call...turning down my favorite FM station. I missed the volume button as I fell to my bedroom floor reaching back for it, so I had to Do It Again! As I dialed the number I couldn't help but feel I was about to enter a New Frontier. Finally I heard the phone ringing and was overcome with anxiety. A beautiful voice answered and asked what I wanted...I told her my name and then hearing what I desired she replied "Hi, my name is Peg, my friend Josie and I are here to please you but it'll cost you $5OO for our time."  I was shocked and angry that Kid had set me up with a prostitutes phone# and so I sat up for a while feeling sad and alone. In the morning my head was clearer though and I called Katy...we met later for lunch and managed to work things out. I guess I learned my lesson, you may be able to buy women but there is no dollar amount for True Love...so I guess you really Can't Buy A Thrill!

Ah, but my friend, I think you are very talented to say more things with less words

I agree!  I, too, can't write one of these without having to add a lot of my own words. :-/

A short Carole King one then !

I was hanging out at the Hard Rock Cafe (that's where you could find me), waiting for One Fine Day hoping that my friend would arrive.

She is So Far Away and sometimes I think that It Might As Well Rain Until September but nonetheless, I will never think It's Too Late to one day say I Feel The Earth Move.

They are always Sweet Seasons when you can say You've Got A Friend.  :)

Okay...a short story with two artists with a very small collection of hits....Gilbert O'Sullivan & The Spinners:

Once I was a Ghetto Child but since I knew someday I'd grow into a Rubberband Man I told my family "Soon I'll Be Around, but now I must Get Down to business with my girl Clair." When I met her I thought Could It Be I'm Falling In Love? She's definatly a One Of A Kind Love Affair and without her I'd be Alone Again (Naturally) :'(

Here's one with Jackson Browne songs...

Keep in mind, this is supposed to be through a man's eyes... ::)


There I was cruising down the Boulevard and Running On Empty when I saw her.  She looked so fine that I thought to myself, "Oh, she's got to be Somebody's Baby."  I watched her as she slipped through a door that was In The Shape Of A Heart, then I parked my car and followed her into the club.  I made my way through the smokey room and ordered a drink.  Then I heard her.  Her velvet voice filled the air with such sweet sound.  That Girl Could Sing!  I decided to Stay and watch the whole show.  Later I found out that my a$$umption had been correct.  It was back to the Fountain Of Sorrow for me.

One day I was sitting in the park In The Evening eating a Hot Dog and reading Moby Dick. Suddenly a man walked by and said "You're A Fool In The Rain and When The Levee Breaks you're sure to be Trampled Underfoot. If you don't take cover soon, You're Time Is Gonna Come. He proceeded to Ramble On and I realized that we were experiencing some sort of a Communication Breakdown. He sang the Immigrant Song told me he was some sort of D'yer Mak'er then spoke of the Battle Of Evermore and how he had escaped the Gallows Pole. He said "I'm Gonna Crawl over those Four Sticks and dance the South Bound Saurez"  if you'll loan me some money. The I will Boogie With Stu, my Black Dog while singing The Rain Song."  I said "Hey, Hey What Can I Do, everybody experiences Good Times, Bad Times" I told him that it was Nobody's Fault but his own for being broke and that I had No Quarter to spare.  I offered him a Tangerine and tried to scare him off by singing him The Lemon Song. After I finished he said "Man, You Shook Me" He then ran off screaming "What Is And What Should Never Be!  :o." I enjoyed myself as I sat in the now sunny weather, feeling the warmth of a Celebration Day. I took off my Kashmir sweater that my friends Living, Loving Maid had knitted for me, she was quite the little Heartbreaker. I turned on my radio, which my friend had changed to a country station. Knowing that no matter what they were playing, The Song Remains The Same, so I frantically tuned in a Rock And Roll station thinking if I heard one more twang of country "music" I would most certainly be In My Time Of Dying :P. My mood quickly improved as I felt Dancing Days were here again. They were playing a Led Zeppelin mini-concert starting with Babe I'm Gonna Leave You followed by Houses Of The Holy. I layed back in the soft grass and began to dream the sweetest dream.  I had met someone and offered her All My Love. I had told her by phone "I Can't Quit You Babe and Since I've Been Loving You, I feel I'm living among the Houses Of The Holy."  I knew I was Going To California and started my Misty Mountain Hop realizing I was heading towards The Ocean which was Over The Hill And Far Away. I had finally found a Whole Lotta Love in my life and just knew in my heart that my first  step West was the path to my very own Stairway To Heaven.........

Hey Zella, did FussBudgetVanPelt, HolyDooley & Karen  :D sail over to your place on the Calypso? Fuss, I'm Sorry about not  making the plane reservations for you in time!  I was so upset with the shipping line when they told me you'd be subjected to hearing Annie's Song for the duration of the trip! I will offer a Sweet Surrender by coming to visit you by way of the same ship...as long as I can bring along My Sweet Lady, Jessica (She's a great doubles partner) to meet you. I just want to say that I'm so happy to have you all here, it's indeed a Rocky Mountain High being able to have all of you as my guests! Come take a tour of the town with me, and you will see the Sunshine On My Shoulders, but you will be Looking For Space on the next flight if you say to me anything like "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" because knowing how I feel about that kind "Music" you would be more apt to say "Take Me Home, Country Roads."  I'd enjoy it so much if you could all stay with me through New Years Day before you decide to Fly Away and return Back Home Again.

At the last minute I was asked to DJ the Music at a Holiday party.  I wasn't sure where it was so I asked, "Where's The Party?" and was given directions, which weren't that great.  Between the bad directions and a Frozen tailpipe I wound up arriving 15 minutes late and people were not happy at first (which is only Human Nature), but I gave them what they wanted and soon Everybody was Into The Groove.

One girl started to bump and grind to the music very much not Like A Virgin and soon began Causing A Commotion.  "Who's That Girl?" people whispered throughout the party.  Come to find out her name was Angel and she worked at the Gentlemen's club Hanky Panky so her dancing, which was a mesmerizing display of Erotica, was all she knew.

The party was a hit as I ended with a slow Marvin Gaye track so people could slow dance with the one they Cherish.  As I began to tear down my equipment Angel came up to me and slipped a card with her phone number into my jeans pocket.  "Bye Bye Baby," she winked  ;) to me as she was on her way out.

Icehouse :

I was sitting in a Street Cafe flipping through the Dusty Pages of my recently acquired manuscript, "Diary Of A Mad Teenager", when suddenly, she appeared, the one from the journal itself, My Obsession !   :o

So I said "Hey Little Girl, what brings you to my Great Southern Land" ?  She replied "I thought We Can Get Together but dig it, I'm making No Promises but neither am I putting up Walls".

I thought to myself "Anything Is Possible but this is just driving me Crazy".  "Baby, You're So Strange" I told her, and she replied "I Don't Believe Anymore and I Can't Help Myself, I want to experience some Love In Motion and I want to see stars !  I want you to be my Man Of Colours"  :P
