O.K. ...you know what I'm talking about...the 3 top songs that you
really dig...but you could never let your "cool" friends know that you
like them...

Here goes:

"Everything She Wants" - George Michael/Wham (the bass line cranks!)

'Funkytown" - Lipps, Inc. (The #1 perfect disco song ever....I always
request the DJ at every wedding I attend to play it then I do my "Spaz
Dance"....the modern day version of the old lampshade dance...a "hit'
every time......

"Charms" - Bobby Vee - the most perfect teenage love song...released
in 1963...when the old world (Ozzie & Harriet, Leave it To Beaver))
was just about to end......before Viet Nam & all that '60's
crap.....that's the way it really wuz, kiddies!!!......The younger
generation duzn't believe me when I tell them........

3 1/2 - "People Gotta Move" - Gino Vannelli - if this tune duzn't get
you movin'...yer dead.

I haven't drunk any alcoholic beverages for a year now...
Exactly a year ago I got a mean cold and lost all sense of smell and taste.
Ever had such an experience ?
Life is pretty dull when you are in this state.
VERY slowly it is returning now but I thought "why drink alcohol when I
can't enjoy the taste of it ?"

Anything by the New York Dolls. I don't understand why folks
think bad about them, but mention the NYD n they freak out.

...and not in the 'good way'...hehehehehehe..

The theme song from the cartoon show 'Top Cat'...


Bloodnok's Rock'n'Roll Call Blues (by the Goons)

Playing this song anywhere just pisses off people. In Mississippi,
while some folks threw bottles at the stage as we played, one redneck
ran to the front, dancing, he knew every word INCLUDING the spoken.

Lyrics below.


TWGS


Company shun! Shoulder High!! By the right, number!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, tweleve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
Sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, tweleve, thirteen, fourteen, <bang>

You've got to rock and roll in a roll call way
You've got to march with a Marilyn Monroe sway
You've got to rock and roll with your old kit bag
But you musn't ever mention her name in the mess
And if you want to know the title of this number
It is a Major Dennis Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll Call rhumba

Left, left, left, right left
Quick, slow, quick, quick, slow
In, out, in, in, out
Pick up your gun, shove a bullet up the spout
It's the dance they do from Madras to Pango-Pango
It is a Major Dennis Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll Call Tango

Coy, dum diddle, blow de how
Bombay didde bowl of char
Um diddle

Minnie: Stop! Stop! Stop that sinful naughty record-type music
Stop it I say! Oh! Stop it you fool. Stop it!

Bloodnok: Oh! Foddle me puckies and cril me topie
Why do my beady old eyes deceive me, or is it?
No, no -- it can't be. But yes! It is!
It's me old child hood sweetheart Spotty Minnie
Bannister-- the darling of Roper's Light Horse

Bless my soul, what are you doing here?
Nothing catching I hope

Minnie: I just came to put my bag full of money in the bank

Bloodnok: Money! Money! Oh!!! Neddie, take Miss Bannister
in a steaming love dance while I check her properties
One, two, three, four

Secombe: Gents to the left, ladies to the right.
All join hands -- panic

<some nonsense>

Bloodnok: Bravado, bravado. What a voice! (What a bank balance!)
I beg you, you gorgeous wanton. Give me some small token of your love and I will
sing you a known miltary melody.

Music, maestro Plonk

(Right mate)

You've got to rock'n'roll in a monetary manner
If you want to earn a necessary tanner
Take your pick while the picking's good
If you don't pick right, things will never get better
When I hear the chink of money that is good news
It drives away the Bloodnok Rock'n'Roll call blues

So let there be, always some cash for me
That will be mine, all mine!

(Send only 2/6 for a copy of this record)

Not guilty, but strange. Like when I heard some old Frumpy or Jane
albums 20 years later. Did I really like *that* shit those days? This
endless keyboard solos. I felt much better after giving them all away,
haven't even converted those to mp3.

A "guilty pleasure song" ought to be a song ABOUT taking guilty pleasure.

Maybe Steely Dan "Dirty Work?"
