>This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Dave "The Man" Barry.
>Please don't crosspost to the Dave Barry group.

If I'm not mistaken, this thread was begun in the Dave Barry group and
crossposted here, due to his "worst songs of all time" columns.

But while we're on the subject (for all groups here) can we please learn to
EDIT and not OVERQUOTE???? Check the last messages in this thread! I have
skipped the last 6-8 messages in the thread because they are nothing but
quotes of previous messages (8-10!!!) with 1 or 2 lines added by the new
author.

Folks, this is a waste of time, please when you're using auto-reply, PLEASE
edit the quoted message and don't include the whole damn thing, OK???

Just my 50th of a dollar. Stay demented or stay dave'd, whatever..

No, no, no. Those aren't stupid lyrics. This came up once before,
when the Dave was doing his Worst Song survey. The whole point of those lines
is that Sting is so overwhelmed by love for the woman being addressed that he
can't even speak intelligently - he just wants to talk baby talk. Plus, that
song also includes such memorable lines as

<shoot, can't remember the preceding line>
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

Not stupid.

Just try Syd Barratt's post-Pink Floyd albums for strange lyrics.. can't think
of any off the top of my head but it's basically 'teapot banana lion tiger

It is an actual song (which is in fact pretty cool) called,
unsurprisingly, "Godzilla", but unfortunately I don't remember the name
of the group.

It was Manfred Mann, and I think it was

"Blinded by the Light,
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night."

However, the lyrics do qualify as demented:

"Now Scott with his slingshot finally found a tender spot to throw his lover
in the sand.
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said "Daddy's within earshot. Save the
buckshot, turn up the band."

That was Manfred Mann, if I'm not mistaken. Also, The lyric is
"...revved up like a deuce...", not "...wrapped up like a douche..." as some
people like to sing.

Written by Bruce Springsteen as I recall. Done (better) by Manfred Mann's
Earth Band.

Or also from the MeatLoaf album, and a runner-up for one of the worst

Dreamed I was an Eskimo.
Frozen wind began to blow.
Under my boots and around my toe.
Frost had bit the ground below.
Was a hundred degrees below zero.

And my mama cried, "oooo oooo"
And my mama cried, "oooo oooo"
"Nanook, Nanook. Don't be a naughty Eskimo!"
"Save your money, don't go to the show."

Well, I turned around and I said, "ho ho!"
Well, I turned around and I said, "ho ho!"
And the northern lights commenced to glow.

And she said, with a tear in her eye,
"Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow!"

OK, how about this one:

I really *like* this song... I have been humming it for weeks.... The
video is cool... The woman in the video is a knockout--dark, rather hispanic-
looking, great voice.... The piano is great.... This song sounds great
just sitting in traffic, on the freeway, but I have to ask, what is
"that", i.e. the "But I won't do that"? I have seen the video but couldn't
grep the meaning of 'that' from it....

Well, "that" in "but I won't do that" refers simply to one thing,
"screwing around" in the words of the lady in the video.

"I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust, and we'll all fall down.
Sooner or later, yu'll be screwing around"
"I won't do that... No I won't do..(etc)

I think the story behind the situation in the song is that Meatloaf isn't
the first person who told her that he'd do anything for love, but that
other person slept around, and left her. Meatloaf is showing that he's
different by stating that he "won't do that", like her previous lover
did. Also, "that" could also refer to leaving her, wsomething he won't
do, and that her previous lover did.

Anyway, it's a happy ending...

PS- sorry about following this up without the obligatory cascade, but the
other person didn't either, and his question needed an answer.

A friend of mine synthesized a song on his computer using samples of his, my and
another guys voice. The song is called "DAMMIT!" (which is also my nickname),
and some of the lyrics follow:

DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!
Mick! Mick! Mick!
Fucker! Fucker!
Asshole!
Eat my shit! Suck my tit! Lick my dick! Fuck you!

An actual article in an actual magazine -- ROLLERDERBY, via Utne Reader ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What's the line that comes after "Blinded by the light..."?

* Woke up with a doozie in the middle of the night. - Lisa

* Wrapped up in a noose; got a rubber-ended knife. - Jaina

* Wound up with a moose in the rolling thunder night. - What we thought
Eric said

* Soaked it up like a douche in the rinnie-ninnie night. - What Eric
really said

* Revved up like a tooth. You know, the motor and the bite. - Scott

* Roped up like a goose in the shimmy-shimmy night. - Alex

* Fuck up with a contusion and give your plants the blight. - Matt

* Why do you want to know? I'm asking you why you want to know. I know
it. Wrapped up like a crooner ... what's the word? Loser. I like Manfred
Mann's early stuff, but ... wrapped up like ... dammit, tell me!
- bar patron

And the answer is: "Racked up like a deuce / Another runner in the night."

_We_ were just talking about how _you_ should stop xposting it to
alt.fan.dave_barry. I am quite anxious to figure out just where this
lyrics thread actually started, as everyone is denying responsibility

I am not necessarily saying that it didn't in fact start here. I am

Oooooo-ooooo...
You look so hungry woman
How come you strayed in here, with your eyes so bright
On this long hot night -
Could it be for a taste of my love?

Down on your knees with your face to the wall
Saying, please please please, your friend said I should call
Well, I do feel lonely woman
To tell the truth, I could use some company
So come closer to me
Help yourself to a taste of my love!

Call up room service, order peaches and cream
I like my dessert first, if you know what I mean
Taste it, taste it, taste it,
Around the rim of pleasure to the gates of pain
You're driving me insane
Take all you need from a taste of my love!

I want to love you like nobody's ever loved you
Get on my stallion and we'll ride
I want to hold you and enfld you beyond reason
I want to dynamite your mind
With love tonight...

Go down gently with your face to the east
The sun may be rising, but we haven't finished the piece
Ooo-ooh, you still look hungry, woman,
I'm glad you came in here with your eyes so bright
On this long hot night
You need love...
I need love...
Here it comes - the taste of my love!

I want to love you like nobody's ever loved you
Climb on my rocket and we'll fly
Around the moon, past the sun till we find
The gates of heaven open wide
For lovers...

And thats only the courus! The verse (the ONLY verse) is:

Ich liebe du dich du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe du dich du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe du dich du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe du dich du liebst mich nicht

(Translation: I don't love you, you don't love me)

Floating down,
Though the clouds,
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
But in the space between the heavens,
And the corner of some foriegn field,
I had a dream.
I had a dream.

Goodbye Max.
Goodbye Ma.
Off to the service, while your walking slowly to the car.
And the silver in her hair,
Shines in the cold November air.
You hear the tolling bells,
And touch the silk on your lapel,
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band.
You take her frail hand,
And hold on to the dream!

A place to stay.
(No need for it.)
Enough to eat.
(You've got to let go.)
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street,
Where you can speak out loud, about your doubts and fears,
And whats more,
No one ever disappears, you never hear thier standard issue,
Kicking in the door.
You can relax,
On both sides of the tracks,
And maniacs,
Don't vlow holes,
In bandsmen by remote control,
And everyone had recource to the lord.
And no one kills the children, anymore.
No one kills the children anymore.

Night and night, we all hear the hunger pains.
This dream is driving me insane.
In the quiet of a foriegn field,
A gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off this final scene.
Take heed of the dream.
Take heed...

The original post went to a number of places, but the one that sticks
out most is alt.cascade. Postings like "Song Lyrics From Hell" which
include the entire post and add two or three tiny lines at the end are
the hallmark of alt.cascade, and I'm 99% sure that it started there. A
good way to ruin a newsgroup is to crosspost something to alt.cascade
(or talk.bizarre). It was thoughtless of whoever started it to post it
in these two groups that I am posting to now, but hopefully it will
die out shortly.

Thank you for your information.
I was unaware of the purpose of alt.cascade, having never even heard
of it. I've been told privately that the person who posted the original
"DO NOT POST etc" article thinks it might have started in r.m.d and
then migrated to a.f.d_b because someone wrote something that mentioned
one of Dave's columns. How it got to all of those others is beyond me.
Anyway, there has been quite enough discussion about this item, so I
am resetting the follow-up to: poster line.
