LaMarca, No!!! Not the dead teenager songs!! Before you do away with them, give a listen to Steve Goodman's medley. You'll see those songs in a whole new light. He had a great time hamming it up on "Tell Laura I Love Her." Those songs are so funny, and so much fun to sing.
Well, at least I'm glad nobody started picking on girl group songs. I do a great falsetto on "Soldier Boy." It ruins my voice for a week but it's such fun. We have a subgroup of our church choir who call themselves "The Extremes" - they do girl group songs for non-liturgical occasions. They let me fill in when one of the girls is missing.
You were my first love
And you'll be my last love
I will always love you, boy
I'll be true to you
In this whole world
You can love but one girl
Let me be that one girl
An I'll be true to you.
But I refuse to do it in drag, and I insist on doing "Chantilly Lace" afterwards to get my male self-respect back.
