Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Mbo Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:13 PM I don't worry, Fib, I've told that joke SO many times, my family is sick of it. BTW did I mention I'm a rapidly closing in on owning ever piece of music Oasis has ever recorded? My name is Matthew Richards, I'm quite an Oasis buff... |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: mousethief Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:14 PM oops! sorry about that -- forgot to turn off the bold and the font size. Could'a swore I did that. Sigh.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:20 PM Mbo, I have seen the scathing attacks on the critics of the Mancunian scene. I must admit I'm not a fan. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to them BUT I wouldn't turn of the radio if they were on. I remember years ago when I was waitressing in a cafe back home, and their first ever single had been released. It came onto the radio and the girl I was working with said "Oh, my cousin's in that band" (her surname being Arthurs). I thought "Hmmm, another bunch of no-hopers. They'll never make it. How wrong I was... |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Mbo Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:27 PM OH MY GOD!!! You worked with Bonehead's cousin! WHOA!!!!!! I bow at your feet!!!! Bonehead (Paul Arthurs) is AWESOME! Sadly, he left the group, but he's a great guy. Their album Be Here Now was dedicated to his mother. BTW that very first single was 1994's "Supersonic", a KICKASS song, that I was singing just today! WORSHIIIIIIP!!!! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:29 PM It's a tenuous connection, though. It would have been a lot more interesting if I'd actually BEEN that cousin! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Mbo Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:34 PM That's so cool still! BTW "Bonehead's Bank Holiday" is on my new tape, which is FINISHED and should be getting sent out in about 2 weeks. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:38 PM Gotta go - pub awaits and I'm offline for the weekend. I have to go and see the nightlife in my new city of residence. Bye, Fib. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:42 PM Ha! Mousethief! I stayed around long enough to see that!!! (By the way, an aside again, but referring to Jethro Tull, does the mousetheif get caught by their mousepolice?) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: mousethief Date: 29 Sep 00 - 12:44 PM Ya caught me, ya ol' funnybone! Never been caught by the mousepolice, thankfully. Don't get the Jethro Tull reference.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 29 Sep 00 - 03:25 PM What the heck happened here?!? I go off to the park with my ankle biters, and what do I come back to but interminable thread creep!! *BG* Mbo, Fibula, consider your buns spanked for all this chit-chatting (Mbo - get that sly smile off your face, now...) Well, at least there are two more great Challenge! songs to award Silver B.L.O.B.s to, so here we go: To Mbo for:

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Mbo Date: 29 Sep 00 - 05:21 PM DB, that's a pure riot! Aine, Silver Blob for this man! The part about the search & destroy gets it! Boy, it must be the combination of Oasis, and a cool Friday afternoon, but I can't stop laughing! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: MMario Date: 29 Sep 00 - 05:22 PM "My carbohydrate thing?" |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Sep 00 - 05:54 PM Some amazing stuff here. Keep going, we're on a roll! (How appropriate that expression suddenly seems...) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 29 Sep 00 - 05:59 PM Geez, Ron, you didn't make it at all easy this time to pick a verse for your Silver B.L.O.B.; but, this is the one I finally decided was my favourite:
The doctors all tell me I have a condition, Ooohhh -- my sides are hurting from laughing all day! Keep going, Challenge!rs!! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 29 Sep 00 - 07:21 PM Alrightey then, Challenge!rs, put on your top hats, tails and tap shoes -- It's time for putting on the Ritz (cracker, that is!):

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 30 Sep 00 - 06:20 PM OK, Challenge!rs -- Is that it? Have you all exhausted yourselves on the bread fetish issue? Are we done with this one? Let me know, 'cos I've got another great Challenge! waiting in the wings . . . -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 30 Sep 00 - 06:26 PM Hold on a bit. I was awake with this for about an hour last night in bed, had it just about written in my head. Mighty pleased with myself. When I sat down to a piece of paper today, it's gone, but I know the song I'll sing it to and the general approach. Going to a family birthday celebration tonight, but I should probably have it in tomorrow. Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 30 Sep 00 - 06:55 PM Brilliant! Dave O -- We'll wait for you to eat some birthday cake and get some bakery good inspiration. Can't wait to see what you come up with! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Áine Date: 01 Oct 00 - 06:41 PM Just refreshing this for DaveO... -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 01 Oct 00 - 07:03 PM Sorry, I've just lost it. Haven't been able to retrieve what I had thought was pretty decent. MAYBE later, but go on without me. Thanx for your patience. Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Naemanson Date: 01 Oct 00 - 07:45 PM Well, I didn't think inspiration would strike until too late. I was beginning to worry that I couldn't be inspired while suffering from this damn cold. But this came to me today and I jotted it down. Hope you like it. Use the tune to the Sailor's Grace. The title is also the first line. Bread loaf, Bread loaf, why sit you there, Safe on the shelf without a care, All wrapped up and stacked so neat The white bread, rye bread, bran and wheat. Then you know who comes along Old Sam Feldman with fingers strong When his wife has turned around, He crushes you and puts you down. Even cookies feel his grip, He grabs them quick and his thumb he slips, Under the cellophane and into the goo The thumb presses fast and your crumbs too. The managers at the Giant store, Put up with this for 3 years or more, Video cameras they then installed To jail the criminal to haul. Feldman's fetish runs so deep That baked goods into his dreams they creep, Rack on rack of bread and cakes He crushes them as quick as they're baked. They caught Sam in the act they did, Caught him bread handed just like a kid. They arrested him and hauled him to jail, I'm innocent they heard him wail. I squeeze bread just like everyone, Never been arrested though I've squeezed a ton. I've squeezed bread on a mermaid boat, And at the wake of circus bloke. When Uncle Harry left the cops perplexed, I squeezed their donuts and left them vexed, The dungmeister's sandwich I did too Though I cringed to see it held brown goo. In Sperlonga I went to drink Coffee black and in a wink, When she wasn't looking I reached out And crumbled the biscuits all about. But now my crumbing days are o'er They took me to jail and closed the door. My only friend in this lousy bitch Thinks M&M's will make him rich.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Naemanson Date: 02 Oct 00 - 04:04 PM Oh how can I resist. Let me review the previous cahllenges and see what I can come up with. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Naemanson Date: 02 Oct 00 - 04:26 PM There I was sitting at home, watching a movie and suffering with this cold, not wanting to do anything. then I said maybe I'll check in with the old Mudcat. And what do I find? Cheering hordes egging me on to flights of inspiration that I may not be up to. So I dragged the keyboard closer and leave these words as my last breath escapes my body. There's one batch of cookies almost done me in, They were setting in the window of a kitchen Catrin's cookies were easy to crack, But I tasted my fingers and almost went back Lucky Charms I did crunch 'em too, In the box it was one hard job to do But I foiled the Mudcatters in their toil, When they looked inside their songs were spoiled. And so the judge he says to me, You're sentenced to the penitentiary A court psychologist you must meet After they pry him from the outhouse seat.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 40 From: Naemanson Date: 02 Oct 00 - 07:02 PM There I was, just loafing around, when I thought I should write one more crumby verse. Rye-ly I settled down at the keyboard. With a mumbled prayer I croissant myself and settled down to work. Fortunately I found I could rise to the occasion, at yeast one more time. All I kneaded was inspiration. So I bagel your indulgence for one more verse. Aine is queen of Challenger's all, She sets 'em up, we make them fall, When she reads them she's so pleased, When she finds her buns have been squeezed! Or is this toast considered a browned nose verse? |

PAWS IN THE DOUGH
The Feldmans would go out shopping
CHORUS:
(on subsequent verses replace the third line of the chorus with the third line of the verse.)
They'd start out at Piggly-Wiggly,
While his wife was perusing the poultry,
He'd deliberately fondle foccacia,
At last when Sam was apprehended,
So next time you strangle a struedel,
