Boogie nights
Okay, listen up people. For this year's Lost Sole talent show we'll be singing the following hits. Please remember your bell bottom pants and don't forget to get your hair permed. Weasel, yours is fine the way it is.
I think when we get to "Undercover Angel" it would be a good time for that suicide pact we've been mulling. If only others had been so committed back in the 70's.
No, really. This is a fine list. Until you get to 1976. Then it gets ugly.
PS: Disco sucks.

Ah, crap. It’s Easter (that’s my standard greeting for all holidays). I meant to write a news story about the resurrection of Jesus, or something witty like that. I plum forgot about it. I’m sure you’re all terribly disappointed.
Enjoy your hams, prayers, family fights, atheism, etc. Whatever you have in store for the holy day. I know one raucous party who plans an Italian dinner. Ah, man. Now that’s celebrating.
Have a great one, everybody. And you know what they say about hidden easter eggs. (I have no idea).

Know why bunnies don’t make noise when the screw?
Because they have cotton balls.
You’re no bunny, unless you love some bunny.
You know rabbits aren’t true rodents? They synthesize their own vitamin C, unlike rodents. Quiz tomorrow.

I call 1978 and part of 1979. I am the disco queen around here. After all, I am the one who always gets called up on stage for Dancing Queen whenever Motor Booty is in town. I have been known to sing Car Wash up on stage as well….tequila doesn’t make my clothes fall off, it makes me a band member. Ha!
K2-what’s invisible and smells like carrots? Bunny farts.
Everyone-have a Happy Easter. AO, have fun at the Seadogs. My love to T-man and Meatball. Glad you didn’t get rained out. Here’s a little tune for you all….
Car Wash
oooo…
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell you it’s better than diggin’ a ditch
There ain’t no tellin’ who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even a Indian chief
CHORUS I:
(Working at the) carwash
Working at the carwash, yeah
Come on and sing it with me, car wash
Sing it with a feeling now, car wash yeah
Whew! Come SUMMER, the work get’s kinda hard
This ain’t no place to be if you PLAN on bein’ a star
Let me tell you it’s always cool
And the boss don’t mind sometimes if we act a fool
(At the carwash) wooah. woooh, wooah, wooh
Talkin’ about the carwash, yeah
Come on and sing it for me(Car wash)
Woo, woo, Hoo! ( car wash yeah)
(Work and work) Well those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work) Keep those RAGS and machines HUMMIN’
(Work and work) My fingers to the bone
(Work and work) PEOPLE, WE can’t wait till it’s time to go home
(Hey, get your car washed today)
Fill up and you don’t have to pay
Come on and give us a play(GET A WASH, RIGHT AWAY!)
AT THE…Car wash
Talking about the car wash
Car wash yeah
Come on and sing it with me(Car wash)
Sing it with feeling YA’LL
Car wash yeah (background vocals repeat till fade)

I can stand anything as long as I don’t have to hear anyone perform “Torn Between Two Lovers”. Aside from that, great list!
Have a happy day!

American Woman (though I am partial to Lenny Kravitz’ version), anything by Marvin Gaye, & “Play that Funky Music” are the only 3 I could find that I actually would listen to on purpose. But for real 70’s hits you can’t go wrong with Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen”, or Elvis Costello’s “Watching the Detectives”, or anything from Motown in the 70’s – Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & the Family Stone, and of course, the P Funk (Especially “Give up the Funk”).
Updated blog alert. Thanks, see ya

Get Down, boogie, oogie, oggie. Holy shit! Talk about giving away our age! I know every song listed! Karaoke machine anyone? MT and Brenda- you two can fight over being the disco queen but everyone knows I’M the QUEEN BITCH but did you know that I’m also the Karaoke Queen. Uh-huh. That’s me.
So many nights, I’d sit by my window.
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark, but now you’ve come along…..
And you, light up my life
you bring me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights, with song……………………….
That my friends, came from memory. I know that song by heart. Sad. Very sad

Damn! that anonymous post was me. (not that I want you guys to know that I know “You light up my life”
Linda said,

Bulldog, when i was scrolling down the list, I spotted that song and thought, oh no, not “you light up my life”, I can’t stand that song! then i did the same thing you did: recited all the words from memory.
I think the 70’s list will make great karaoke, can’t wait to catch your act!
brenda said,

we’re just going to have to get together on a dance floor and see who’s a disco queen !
and who’s a drag! ??

I need to hook up my speakers and listen later today. After cartoons, since it’s school vacation.
well> wordpress woin’t let me post twice in a row? sheeeesh

I’ve been here all your life watching your crying game
You were the heaven in my lonely world
And he was your sun and your rain
I was losing you before I ever held you tight
Before you ever held me in your arms
And I won’t make you blue
And maybe an everlasting love will do
Ah, we got an everlasting love
So tall, so wide, so high above the rumble of thunder down below
It’s your love I need, it’s the only show
And it’s you want an everlasting dream
can take us anywhere are the tears of yesterday
We killed the pain , we blew away the memories of the tears we cried
And an everlasting love will never die
I used to have Andy Gibb, Bee Gees, and Leif Garrett posters all over my room as a teenager. Then it was Shawn Cassidy, RIck Springfield and KISS. …I can’t believe I used to think Paul Stanley was a hottie. Then KISS took off their makeup. YUK! My eyes!! My eyes!! Put it back on!!
Speaking of karaoke, how many times have I heard Delta Dawn at karaoke? Too many. What are the top karaoke somgs of all times? Gotta be “Old Time Rock and Roll (I hate that song), Crazy, Delta Dawn, and Friends In Low Places.”

The worst karaoke act I’ve ever see was when this farmer couple got up and sang “Endless Love” to each other. I thought I was going to fall off my barstool, I was laughing so hard.
Linda said,
April 17, 2006 at 9:10 am
MT, tonight I’ll tell you about the last time I went to karaoke. It was kind of scary-sad. (Not that i was singing, that would have been terrifying for all)
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 10:02 am
Endless Love? Isn’t that what you call it when two blind people play tennis?
I heard Geroge Benson’s ‘Just Give Me the Night’ last night on XM radio’s Watercolors station. Forgot how awesome that tune is.
Mainetarr said,
April 17, 2006 at 12:04 pm
I listen to The Strobe on my Sirius radio. But Pure Jazz is my favorite station. K2, how do you like XM? I love Sirius…they have everything on there now. They even have the Cosmopolitan channel for us girls.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 12:20 pm
MT, we have XM on our DirectTV, and my wife has Sirius in her car — she’s a Stern nut. I also like Sirius’ Pure Jazz the best (I love Gary Burton’s show), although XM’s Beyond Jazz is pretty funky. Overall, I like Sirius’ tunes better, but we get XM for with our basic Direct TV package.
We bought an in-home Sirius thingy too, but I haven’t hung the satellite receiver because I’m a loser.
Regardless, it’s awesome to have commercial free jazz, blues or classical at all times. Of course, I throw in some old Neil Young on the CD player every now and then to keep things honest.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 12:33 pm
Commercial free Blues. Now you’re talking. I could listen to the blues all day long. Alas, I don’t have Sirius or, XM because, I guess I’m a loser, too. Ha.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 12:47 pm
AO, do you prefer Delta Blues of City Blues? I lean to the acoustic sounds of the Delta, myself.
LaFlamme said,

Hey, was the song Shannon even on the list? Now there’s a song to slash your wrists by.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:37 pm
Henry Gross. Shannon. Yuck. What a friggen whiney song.
K2, It really doesn’t matter. City or, Delta. I love it all.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Henry Gross. Shannon. Yuck. What a friggen whiney song. I kept hoping that Shannon would have bit him before he died.

Ooops!! Repeated myself!
K2 said,

AO and MT, I just ordered my Bela Fleck and the Flecktones tickets for 8/7 down in Boston. Me excited long time.
Anything by Neil Sedaka is something to slit your wrists to. Remember to slice parallel to the vein for maximum drainage.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:43 pm
GROSS!! Anybody want a dead squirrel? There’s one floating in my swimming pool! Yuck!

LaFlamme said,

Ah, the blogout was merely WordPress fixing some “emergency maintenance” and then trying to reload everything. It came back late in the afternoon and then went down again at about 4 this morning. At which point, I gave up and hit the sack.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:46 pm
Ah, now there’s some high-brow humor for ya. He’s a redneck from hell, but I have to admit, he’s one funny mofo.
LaFlamme said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:47 pm
AO, I’ll take that squirrel. Do you have any mustard?
And how can you be so cold about Shannon? I mean *sniffle* the dog went swimming and *snort* never came back.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Do they pro-rate you for the outage. I mean, what about your legions of fans? What were we to do but go into horrible fits of LaFlamme withdrawl?
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:48 pm
So did that squirrel. He’s all your’s. And, yes I have mustard.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:50 pm
I think Shannon must have bit him. I mean, how else could you explain that whiney voice? Think I’ll call my squirrel “Shannon”.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:50 pm
Mustard. It sounds like ‘must turd.’ That’s just so wrong.
LaFlamme said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:51 pm
I’m not sure how that works. First time they’ve gone down since I switched over to them. When I first noticed it, I was trying to figure out just who the hell we pissed off this time to get yanked.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Yeah, I though maybe Dan had some connections.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Ha! Dan! The Fat Bastard! Now, that would be rich!
LaFlamme said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:57 pm
I’ve got to start a blog one of these days where we can all speculate on how big D is spending his days. I mean, the blogs were his universe.
K2 said,
April 17, 2006 at 1:58 pm
To boldly go where no Dan has gone before?
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 2:01 pm
A Danimal blog. Go for it. I think it would be wildly popular.
LaFlamme said,
April 17, 2006 at 2:04 pm
I’ll do that tonight.
Long live Mustard.
A.O. said,
April 17, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Or, as K2 said, “Mus-turd”.

Just read that Neil Young is releasing a scathing anti-Bush album, called ‘Living with War,’ in 6-8 weeks. One song is simply titled, ‘Impeach the President.’ Oof.
LaFlamme said,
April 18, 2006 at 2:31 pm
Let’s see. Classic Young that might befit the presidency. Old Man? No. Needle and the Damage Done? Nope. Hurricane? No. Lotta Love? Uh uh. I got nuthin.
K2 said,
April 20, 2006 at 7:46 am
I think Neil’s ‘Piece of Crap,’ Fucking Up,’ and ‘Vampire Blues’ are pretty damn fitting.
