Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 01 Mar 00 - 12:51 AM Way to go, Troll! I'll never think of 'Sweet Betsy' the same way again! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 12:56 AM YAY! The Sarge comes through once again! And believe me, Barky lass, it is hard to get by wi'out your inspiration, though your Pop was trying to give me some last night, in your name! Lovable trickster! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Troll Date: 01 Mar 00 - 01:19 AM Meebo me lad, I thankee for the kind words but I gotta tell you. The Navy doesn't have sargents. The Naval term for grade E-4 thru E-9 is petty(from petite)officer. So I was a PO 1st class when I got out over thirty years ago. I am nevertheless flattered that you would call me Sarge. I ahd a lot of respect for the Marine Sargents that I knew. troll |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Hyperabid Date: 01 Mar 00 - 09:36 AM Well I think a dark night wilderness trip could only be set to one tune really... Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind – To the tune of "Hotel California" – The Eagles On a dark Oslo highway Watching Kristen do her hair Should have kept my eyes on the road (But) I was feeling devil make air Up ahead in the distance There is a turn to the right (Bridge to next verse) Don't have a clue what it is hiding What is in store for us both for the night? So when I turned the corner There was a moose was standing there A real thug of the four-footed world Looked at me with an 'ornery glare (Bridge to chorus) I could hear Kristen a screaming from far away When I ring my insurance agent I can guess what he'll say… (Chorus) He'll read the claim form and he'll say "Don't take the piss mate" This ain't an of God, this ain't a twist of fate Hell stamp it 'No way!' and he'll say "It's down to you mate… If I were in your shoes… Next time the train, I'd use" So this beast is just stood there In the beam of my lights I've never seen a moose before That looked more like he really would fight (Bridge to chorus) All of sudden my SAAB has some spare ventilation Must be the state of my pants fills her face with such indignation? (Chorus) Kristen pinches her nose and she says "Think it's goodbye, dear… It's nothing personal… But it smells in here… You should've have known really love, 'cos though you have a very big car… In your underwear…. There's so little there…" So now you've heard my story Please take my advice Don't end up a prisoner chum Of moose with lice Keep your eyes on the road mate And with a little luck (Bridge as in to next verse but to guitar solo) Your girlfriend might just choose to ignore That your winkie is down on its luck (Guitar solo to end) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Amos Date: 01 Mar 00 - 09:52 AM Heee hee hee. I can just hear the Eagles singing that moose song, Hyper. What a lot of talent. What a crew. Geez, Áine really started something here, huh... she should get a round of applause for divine intervention above and beyond the call of duty...as soon as she crawls out of that Pit of Fique...just kidding, dear...yes, dear...no, dear... of course, yes, dear...no,...yes...(fade out in like vein). CLANGG. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Hyperabid Date: 01 Mar 00 - 09:56 AM Well there some that would say Don Henley was a bit of a moose himself... ;-) Hyp |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 10:26 AM ACK! Sorry about that, Troll! I knew that very well, my being around the Navy as much as The Marines--I must be going stunod--I mixed up the fact that your dad was in the Army--not you. And you can just call my Dad "Top." --Mbo (ANOTHER good one, Hyp! I love your reworkings of classic rock songs!) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Hyperabid Date: 01 Mar 00 - 10:38 AM Cheers m8 I mostly write originals, but it's a tad difficult to communicate the nusic in this forum once you get beyond chord chunking.... So I guess arrangements and adaptations will have to do. (I've passed Ph.D Chord chunking and am now studying for my masters in twiddling and jangling). Hyp |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 01 Mar 00 - 10:44 AM Dear Hyp, I love it!! As a novice twiddler and jangler, I can really appreciate your efforts *BG*. And I know that we'd all love to hear your chunking thesis anytime, luv. You all are so great! You really make this place fun -- moose hairs, flying panties, furry ferrets and all!! -- Áine |

In the cold and snow! Finally, I followed you! How was I to knooow? Cho: Moose breath on your collar Said you'd been untruue Moosebreath on your collar Told a tale on youuuu!

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:04 AM Bleah...thanks for that imagery, Amos. It's a good thing I didn't eat breakfast this morning! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Amos Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:10 AM Ahh, dear Emmblo...such a delicate critter. Don't worry..."Sheep lie!". A |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:11 AM Oh Amos! Where's my spike heels, rat comb, red lipstick, hairbow and poodle skirt! I'm snapping my fingers, daddy-o . . . so, who's gonna play the standup bass in our new band, eh? I have a couple of ideas of who would look really fab in a white shirt, string tie, black chinos and saddle shoes!!! -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Hyperabid Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:13 AM Amos This is the kind of stuff they put on Jerry Springer!!! Does the girlfirend kick over her chair and start a fist fight with the moose after the commercial break??? Hyp |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:13 AM Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I'm looking for my bullet bra and tight angora sweater too . . .

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:18 AM Well, I do believe I still have the ECU mega-fan outfit from the Mudcat Jukejoint. And even with my buzzed haircut, I somehow got an "Elvis Curl" on my forehead! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Amos Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:23 AM Cool, cats -- let's start boppin'. I still have an old tube of Wildroot Cream Oil and a black plastic comb in the closet somewhere -- rockabilly STOMP! One, two, three, FOAH! One fo' the money, two for the show!... Three tuh get ready, now GO CAT, GO! ...(cough, wheeze) ...well, so I'm a little old, so what? You will be too, when you're my age! :>) A |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:33 AM Ah Amos..you could be as old as me, if like a crab you could crawl backwards. And if it's some rockabilly yer wantin' I the man you need! BTW didja notice every highschool in the 50's had a big dude named "Moose"? Possible song subject, hmmm? --Mbo |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Amos Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:42 AM Well, I never did think very highly of this unidirectional time arrow someone laid down on this neighborhood. Bad design, if you ask me -- obsessed about order or something, every little moment in its own precious little place, neat and laid out in a row -- what an anal retentive! We ought to be able to juggle sequences at a moment of creative will, if you ask me. One way time! What an absurd notion! (Steps through the left wall in a blur of temporal displacement and disappears)... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Troll Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:44 AM Aine dear heart, we're not old! We are "Aged to perfection"! Like fine wine or a violin, we just get better with age.I mean, look at Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry; over 60 and still rockin'! troll |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:48 AM With theire brand-new time transporter They though maybe I'd fought to get away But with all their great inventions And all their good intentions, here I stay! THE MUSIC IS REVERSIBLE BUT TIME IS NOT TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK... --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:51 AM Hey Troll, it wasn't me that called anybody old -- heck, I actually did own a poodle skirt (red felt with white piping and a cute little black poodle on the front)! 'Course, I was in first grade at the time. And I 'fess up about being the the kid who called into the local radio show in Pineville, LA and requested "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" while Mamaw was taking a nap . . . -- Áine |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Hyperabid Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:52 AM Time is like an ever flowing stream. But then again so is urine after a night on the beer. Hyp

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:58 AM That sounds familiar, Aine! When my mother was in kindergarten, the teacher asked each kid in the class to sing a song. My Mom sang "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini"! The teacher kinda gave her one of those "umm..Ok" looks! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 01 Mar 00 - 12:35 PM Amos, just turn your head a little bit, and those peripheral visions will come clear...and never forget, my friend, those two deathless cliches: "There's nothing new under the sun," and "What goes around, comes around." Hey, what's mousse (moose?) except fancy Brylcreem? Aine (rats! wish I could figure out how to make you "acute"!), you wore your poodle skirt in FIRST GRADE? I think my blue one was circa Freshman year... But I gotta go with Troll's brave words on this: "aged to perfection": I like it! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: MMario Date: 01 Mar 00 - 12:44 PM But what about "Splish splash I was takin' a bath" or "There's an Ape, on the fire Escape" |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Troll Date: 01 Mar 00 - 12:45 PM Whaddayamean "brave words"! I may be gettin' older but I ain't growin' up! There ain't no future in that! Besides, ya gotta be tough to grow old; it ani't a gig fer sissies! troll |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 01 Mar 00 - 04:50 PM Troll: Well, the gods know THAT's the truth--I woulda wimped out long about 35, if I weren't such a stubborn old broad. And now you've got that danged Jimmy Buffett song going round in my head--"I'm growin' older, but not up...." Arghhhhhhhhh! |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Mar 00 - 07:48 PM Mbo, that was a George Thorogood song you adapted, right? Aine, Troll, MMario,JL, Hyper, Osmium and Amos thanks for all the grins. Haven't had the grins like that in a long time without having the munchies at the same time. Mooseburgers to you all, LEJ |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 07:54 PM Um..it was actually Hank Williams. Keep the light on for me Aine! It's a internet/music Mudcat night--my song may come in a bit later! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 01 Mar 00 - 08:03 PM OK. I guess old George just covered it. Blush...and I call myself a Hank Williams fan! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:26 PM I took my girl out, out for a drive For to get loose, in the Norwegian woods But we then had to stop To let a moose cross the black top I flashed my lights on |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Mbo Date: 01 Mar 00 - 11:36 PM I took my girl out, out for a drive For to get loose, in the Norwegian woods But we then had to stop To let a moose cross the black top I flashed my lights on to get him gone He jumped on the hood, and then I screamed, like anyone would He stepped through the windscreen like very thin ice Millions of glassy shards went every place (cockney accent) And then when I woke, my car was a joke I felt like a silly goose, I had been stomped by a Norwegian moose. Ok, so it's really bad. But it's 11:30pm here, and my mind is drained. Ignore it if it ain't up to snuff. --Mbo |

You know I cannot walk away from one of those durn song challenges, and I can't go on dropping everything to tap the well. My Muse is acting suspicious :>). Well, actually, not, but please stop provoking her! I'm gonna have to quit my job, just to keep up, and this is a hobby, not a profession. Just ask Rick. Love you guys, A |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 12 From: Áine Date: 02 Mar 00 - 09:12 AM *********IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SONG CHALLENGE!RS********* The next SONG CHALLENGE! will be put forth on Saturday morning (U.S.) time -- even though a certain sad-eyed poet may go out of his skull before then -- You guys have been simply mahvahlahs about responding to these crazy things, and I want everyone to rest your little grey cells for a day or two, because the next CHALLENGE! idea is Barky's, and I want everyone well rested and able to make a mighty effort on her behalf. This is her first CHALLENGE! idea, so let's do a good job, OK? In other news, Hyperabid has put a wee bug in my ear about a brand new award, so I need a couple of days to come up with a brilliant idea . . .
