If you put #651 in the search box in the upper-right corner of this page, you'll come up with the songs listed below. I don't think any of these are exactly the song you're looking for, but maybe they will set somebody else off in the right direction. Come back and tell us more about the song, if you can. -Joe Offer- 1) AFTER THE BALL (Dismantled Bride)

25 May 99 - 09:02 AM (#81536) Subject: Lyr Add: SILICONE CINDY (Bert Hansell) From: Bert Here's me again, with a song for every occasion. In the true tradition of folksong thievery, I borrowed pieces from the above songs for this one. It was inspired by a newspaper article about a woman who had implants and finished up with a 70-inch bust. An event which should not go unsung. You know the tune. You're my Silicone Cindy The Girl that I desire a beautiful celluloid kewpie doll don't sit near the fire Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy But don't sit near the fire They overdid your eyelid tuck Your eyes, they stare so wide They couldn't find anything for your butt so they use Naugahyde Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Covered with Naugahyde Your breasts are made of silicone your hair is nylon twine your teeth are made of porcelain the rest of you's all mine Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy the rest of you's all mine This surgical augmentation on you looks really grand I'll have to try some for myself now you don't fit in my hand Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Get along home Silicone Cindy Now you don't fit in my hand.

Maybe my foster father was the poet or writer of the song and then it would be an original and no one including me will ever know the lyrics! Oh Dear! I will refresh the posting. |

08 Sep 99 - 08:46 AM (#112409) Subject: RE: Shilling, wooden leg, cant change it From: Art Thieme This thread is quite offensive to me! I had a dear old uncle who was very special to me. He had a wooden leg---from the knee up! What a cross to bear!!! And sadly (it's so hard to talk about these things) my aunt passed away (bless her dear departed heart) from a truly horrible condition and also a terrible way to leave this mortal coil---terminal slivers. It gave her the most wooden personality during those last six months that I have ever encountered. So terribly sad to encounter one's demise in this fashion. You'd think that with all those slivers in her from her ---- to her feet that they mmight act like just so many millions of acupuncture needles. But no!! It was just the opposite. What an excruciating way to meet your demise. I'd not wish it on my worst enemy. (Or my best friend who just left here with my latest girlfriend. **BIG SMILE** ;-) I'd not wish this fate on a dog.

09 Sep 99 - 12:21 PM (#112829) Subject: RE: Shilling, wooden leg, cant change it From: Bert Well so it does. Must have fallen into the bit bucket. The line should be "Your eyes, they stare so wide" Thanks for catching that one. As it so happens that line was taken from real life, I actually knew someone that happened to. Bert. Missing line added above. |
