Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Aidan Crossey Date: 06 Sep 01 - 03:45 AM To the tune of that scurrilous classic by Shane MacGowan and the Popes "Ceilidh Cowboy" COWBOY MEDIC I'm a cowboy medic I wear hand-tooled cowboy boots And I sneer at all my colleagues Who turn up for work in suits I've got spurs and I wear stetsons When I'm asked to save your life I curl my lip at scalpels I prefer a Bowie knife My name is Dr Testa I speak in a languid drawl I squint into the sun a lot And whenever there's a brawl I punch and kick but never sweat And never take a blow And when the dust has settled down I say, "Set 'em up, please, Joe" Yippee-yi-yo Yippee-yi-yay Yodel-odel-o-dee Yodel-odel-o-dee Yodel-odel-o-deedle-ay I'm a connoisseur of 'baccy I chew it and I spit You'd better stay away from me Or else you might get hit I've got myself diplomas I got letters by my name But they don't matter shit to me When I'm riding on the range My name is Dr Testa Some doctors disagree With my style and my comportment And they're out to ruin me They mock my chaps and lariat They laugh at my spittoon But they pale when I suggest to them A duel at High Noon Yippee-yi-yo Yippee-yi-yay Yodel-odel-o-dee Yodel-odel-o-dee Yodel-odel-o-deedle-ay

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:24 PM Gee thanks for THAT mental image. I was trying to forget about the kudu poop. I MEANT tobacco chaw spit... y'know, the current thread (but you knew THAT, too!)... P.S. - Thanks, all, for the nice compliments. P.P.S. - Oh yes! in response to your "by George" comment, MMario: "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plaaaaain..." |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:08 PM ask and ye shall receive. spit song |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:01 PM P.S. - But how do you know I'm not ten people using the same moniker? (hee hee) P.P.S. - No, no, that nice-smelling, swinging thing is a censEr (but you knew that)!!!! But enough creeping. I wanna hear spit songs! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:59 PM no - you actually had a very good point - especially as I hadn't explained the reason I sent you to the FAQ rather then tell you straight out. and congatulations on cramming 55 challenges into one song! WOW! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:46 PM Thanks, MMario. I'm sorry that I was testy last week about having to look up line break info for myself like the other adults do. BTW, I printed out the Newcomer's Guide last Friday and read it over the weekend, so THAT won't happen again! SharA |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:39 PM ps - sharon - thank you for your comments on the other thread regarding venom, etc. greatly appreciated. turns out guest may have some good reasons - but it's pretty dang hard to sympathize with the completely anonymous. thank you also for being consistent in your postings as a guest. it's nice to be able to hang some kind of identifier on a post. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 02:07 PM why would we surrond the song challanges with clouds of incense? |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:49 PM Man, you guys are fast (answering my question before I'd sent the clarification)!!! Thanks; I'm relieved to find that the Challenge!s weren't censored! Whew!!! Shar |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:42 PM I suspect real life intruded. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:35 PM But I asked it only yesterday afternoon, in the "preamble" to my all-in-one song! Guess it got lost in the shuffle. The question is: When I reviewed the Song Challenges! from the Past page, i noticed that parts 17 and 35 are missing from the list. I wondered whether the subjects of those two Challenge!s (the naughty hair salon and the careless taxidermist) were so inflammatory that they were deleted deliberately. Obviously they're not completely wiped off the map, or I wouldn't have found them at all, but I had to do a bit of spelunking through old threads and past Challenge! winners to uncover them. So what gives? SharonA |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:26 PM I had the impression that there wasn't a whole lot that was tabu at Mudcat, aside from flaming, trolling and leaving in a huff. By george, she's got it! I think she's got it! of course, there is also inhaling while playing Cleigh...but only 'spaw is in danger of that. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Áine Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:22 PM Sorry, SharonA -- I was just so excited about all the wonderful Challenge! songs that I forgot to answer your question . . . The only reason that Parts 17 and 35 are missing is that the Keeper of the Book must have slipped a couple a brain synapses . . . or had a couple of her occassional 'BFE's (brain flatulence episode) . . . or she stood too close to a magnet . . . Thanks for pointing out the missing bits! And rest assured that all will be made whole very soon ;-) -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: mousethief Date: 19 Jun 01 - 01:01 PM We just don't have memories that stretch back that far, Sharon! What exactly was your question? Alex |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 12:58 PM Thanks, Áine! ...but no one responded to my query about parts 17 and 35 of the Song Challenge! Are they THAT politically incorrect? (If so, a simple "yes" will do, and I'll shut up about it.) I had the impression that there wasn't a whole lot that was tabu at Mudcat, aside from flaming, trolling and leaving in a huff. SharonA |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Áine Date: 19 Jun 01 - 12:19 PM Well, I must say I am impressed at the quality of entries this time around! I never thought that we'd reach the operatic heights! Brilliant and brilliant . . . So, without further ado or to-do (or kudu, come to think of it), here are the Silver B.L.O.B.s for this last batch of cuspadorial delights: To mousethief for:
No ordinary ordinary showed him the ropes To SharonA for:
The Undergarden Railroad gnomes To Trapper for:
I'm in-sane, I'm in-sane, narcissistic it seems To Amos for:
As he's signing prescriptions with half his attention, And to Clifton53 for (the delightful!):
Look at my snakeskin boots, see how they shine Well done, Challenge!rs!! -- Áine

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: mousethief Date: 19 Jun 01 - 11:22 AM Si. When I was a wee bairn, one of the things my mother used to sing to me was a song to the tune of the Toreador Song, which went something like this:
Toreador, don't spit on the floor Alex |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Clifton53 Date: 19 Jun 01 - 11:22 AM Glad you liked it Amos, always looking for that elusive laugh. And yes MMario, Tor-ee-a dooooorrrrrrr!!! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 01 - 11:18 AM Toreador song, yes? |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Amos Date: 19 Jun 01 - 11:17 AM Clifton, all is forgiven. I love it!!! I can just see some barrel chested burley character belting it out at the Met, projecting all the way to the balcones and beyond: CUspia--a--aa--a--DOOOOOOORE!!!!!. LOL! A |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Amos Date: 19 Jun 01 - 11:15 AM Sorcha was kind enough to elucidate: "Pants wetting opporutnity, dear.". Thus PWO. LOL is laughing out loud, and ROTFLMAO is "Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off". If you put "Internet Abbreviations" into a search engine such as that at Google.com, you will find several sites that collect these cyberspace chat acronyms so you can sound like a real chat weenie if you wish!!! :>) A |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Clifton53 Date: 19 Jun 01 - 09:13 AM CUSPIADOR Tune is from an opera I think, Carmen? I know less about opera than I do about songwriting.
I am a surgeon a man of high degree
Look at my snakeskin boots, see how they shine
They tried to stop me, made me jump and shout
All of the whitecoats said I was a loon Clifton

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 19 Jun 01 - 08:59 AM Not me. I can't figure out ROFLMAO, either. BTW, what does LOL stand for? Anyway, Amos, that was BUTful (bee-yoo-tee-ful)!! Shar PS - Trapper, I love the sick blues, too! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Amos Date: 18 Jun 01 - 10:09 PM Anyone know what PWO stands for? Puzzled, A |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: Amos Date: 18 Jun 01 - 08:46 PM Rock By the Old Rio Grande
There is a young Doctor, he dreams of the range An' as the day fades though he's working his scalpel Givin' tunes out instead of them pills. He sings, Goodnight, you old gunslingers
As he's signing prescriptions with half his attention, He sings -- Goodnight, you old gunslingers

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:46 PM Now Sharon, if you keep beating yourself up, you'll take all the fun out of us doing it! Alex |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:24 PM Mr. (!) mousethief: Oh, right, that was Dharmabum's song, followed by your comment. I was working from faulty memory; I've been having log-on and error problems all day (hurricane leftovers, I suppose) so I wasn't able to check the source. When the #!&% computer finally linked to Mudcat, I sent the song while I could. My apologies to you both! i AM the weakest link good-bye! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 04:41 PM "He"; actually I didn't do a Cheerios parody of Ghost Riders; I just thought about it. Alex |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 55 From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 18 Jun 01 - 04:38 PM Áine - Here goes nothin'... I'm aiming for that All-in-One Award, and I do mean all, after reviewing the Song Challenge!s from the Past page (are parts 17 and 35 deleted on purpose?). Pronunciation guide: virtual=two syllables ("vur--chool" or "vur-tyool" or "vurch-wull") CA="see-ay" I'm using the tune found in DT, though I had thought there was another syllable in the last line before the chorus. The Song Challenge!s are numbered for easy reference but the numbers are not to be sung. Okay; I'm ready now... SONG CHALLENGE!S GONE BY (Tune: Ghost Riders in the Sky) 1) A man who's caught red-butted 2) An inebriating treat 3) A bee that's tagged for tracking 4) And a wedding "While-U-Meet" 5) WiseWimmin, Munchkin birth and death 6) A virtual cattle buy 7) Some magic'lly delicious shapes 8) Ghost chickens in the sky. Rumors so low, sources so high Song Challenge!s gone by 9) A tribute to the taste buds 10) Ferret-busts out in CA 11) A fine tradition kept and thrown 12) The moose's right-of-way 13) A one-hundred-percent-off sale 14) A sticky-fingered plight 15) The Lent that's banned in Boston now 16) The dull men's dull website. They made us laugh till we would cry Song Challenge!s gone by 17) Hairdressers who, um, know for sure 18) A hard drive that's possessed 19) Eight days without a Twinkie 20) Ranking songbirds, worst to best 21) A sound effect for ev'ry fib 22) A cock who'd not be lunch 23) Two blossoming libido-slaves 24) An Easter Rabbit-punch. Stooping so low, rising so high Song Challenge!s gone by 25) The Undergarden Railroad gnomes 26) Senility with guns 27) Wild Turkey in the swimmin' hole 28) A belch with rising suns 29) A raccoon's three-week drinking binge 30) A Kudu Chip Spit Fair 31) The tale of Johnny-in-a-spot 32) Authentic mermaid wear. "Make up a tale; tell us no lie" Song Challenge!s gone by 33) Somebody dumped somebody's ashes 34) Some guys just can't win 35) Some foxes can't take pressure 36) Some think chain-gang dates are "in" 37) Old Nessie's got some rivals 38) Kindly Shorty left 'em cold 39) They offer cream and rubber here 40) And tons of bread on "hold". "Who, what and where? When, how and why?" Song Challenge!s gone by 41) Are nipples Braille for blind men? 42) Of which creatures shall we write? 43) Does feng-shui work with coffins? 44) Was the pig's a round-trip flight? 45) Is there a brain in Arkansas? 46) ...and in Sri Lanka, too? 47) Will that ice ceiling ever melt? 48) Did Moscow have a loo? "Sing your song low, warble it high" Song Challenge!s gone by 49) A cow without a parachute 50) A flushing Golden Throne 51) Revenge for all the lamb chops 52) And the Ooze of the Unknown 53) A chocoholic monkey 54) And a quest for Cheerios 55) A doctor's spitting image, too... ...and on the Challenge! goes. There will be more — they'll never die — Song Challenge!s gone by Song Challenge!s gone by I read just a few of the award-winning songs (enough to find Challenge! part 17!) and almost nothing from the past Song Challenge! threads (I was trying to be original and not plagiarize), so I'm sorry if I've unintentionally repeated someone else's pun. I've heard "Ghost Chickens" performed, so I did borrow that pun. My apologies to mousethief; I started this just before (s)he submitted the Cheerios parody of "Ghost Riders". I guess that makes us the googolth and googol-first to skewer the poor song. SharonA

(Big Doc, big Doc, big bad Doc) He wore silver scalpels on his snake-boot heels And if he showered more, he'd have sex appeal And whenever he spoke, it wasn't too genteel That's Doc. (etc.) No ordinary ordinary showed him the ropes He wore leather holsters for his stethoscopes And he growled, "Ye varmints!" at the working dopes That's Doc. Now the nurses didn't mind this Yosemite Sam Till he tried to install his spitoon can In the OR next to where the oxygen stands That Doc. One day in OR they took him to task He wouldn't operate without his "Lone Ranger" mask, A bandana 'round his neck, and a hip-pocket flask, That's Doc. (ritardando) Now he's out on leave underneath the Big Sky That snuff-chewin' surgeon who's none-too-shy And the nursing staff say, "That's one weird, weird guy." That's Doc.

Once in the O.R. I chewed on my Red Man Once in the O.R. I used my spittoon But they made me stop chewing and now I'm Boo-Hooing My spit is not welcome in the O. Room They thought it was grating and so irritating They thought it was bad when He spit on the floor He was operating but the mess they were hating The mess they were hating so they showed him the door So work your gums slowly; Your breath is so dirty And play Wyatt Earp while you open my spleen It shouldn't be too hard To keep me from the grave yard Watch where you spit if you know what I mean Copyright 2001 Rob Dale all rights reserved |
