I like that one.

When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again
And when it's over
That's the time you're in my heart again
And when you go go go go
I know
And it never ends
It never ends

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window

Anybody who can rhyme "Taxes" with "Facts is" is ok in my book.

The aforementioned "Mercury Blues" tune IS an old blues tune. Written by KC Douglas (the ol' Mississippi Blues guy...not the country line dance instructor from Orange County, California)

A "sort of" history of Mercury Blues

He's very fun to see live! It's been a while since I've seen him but I have been to about 3 of his shows. It's a perfect feel-good summertime activity.

"Fat Man In The Bathtub" by Lowell George (of Little Feat fame)

Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees
He said "Hey momma, hey let me check your oil all right?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight
Comeback Monday, comeback Tuesday, then I might."

I said Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?
My Jaunita
I said Jaunita, my sweet chaquita, what are you up to?
My Juanita

Don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes
Don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die tryin
Throw me a line, throw me a line
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan

Billy got so sad, dejected, put on his hat and start to run
Runnin' down the street yellin' at the top of his lungs
All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun
All I want in this life and time is some hit and run

I said Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?
My Jaunita
I said Jaunita, my sweet chaquita, what are you up to?
My Juanita

Put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down
But you caught me in the squeeze play on the cheesy side of town
Throw me a dime, throw me a line
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan



The original Little Feat version (on their Dixie Chicken album)has Bonnie Raitt on background vocals.

This wins hands down.

Hot-Blooded by Foreigner:

Well, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded

You don’t have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you’re doin’ after the show

Now it’s up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I’ll show you lovin’ like you never knew

That’s why, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, hot blooded

If it feels alright, maybe you can stay all night
Shall I leave you my key?
But you’ve got to give me a sign, come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama? you sure look that way to me

Are you old enough? will you be ready when I call your bluff?
Is my timing right? did you save your love for me tonight?

Yeah I’m hot blooded, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded, I’m hot

Now it’s up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous?
Oh, before we do, you’ll have to get away from you know who

Well, I’m hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I’m hot blooded, I’m hot blooded

Hot blooded, every night
Hot blooded, you’re looking so tight
Hot blooded, now you’re driving me wild
Hot blooded, I’m so hot for you, child
Hot blooded, I’m a little bit high
Hot blooded, you’re a little bit shy
Hot blooded, you’re making me sing
Hot blooded, for your sweet sweet thing

Walking like a man
Hitting like a hammer
She’s a juvenile scam
Never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop
She’s got the look

Heavenly bound
Cause heaven’s got a number
When she’s spinning me around
Kissing is a colour
Her loving is a wild dog
She’s got the look

She’s got the look, -’she’s got the look’-
She’s got the look, -’she’s got the look’-
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I’ll ever do, I’ll do for you
And I go: la la la la la
She’s got the look

Fire in the ice
Naked to the t-bone
Is a lover’s disguise
Banging on the head drum
Shaking like a mad bull
She’s got the look

Swaying to the band
Moving like a hammer
She’s a miracle man
Loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand
She’s got the look

She’s got the look, -’she’s got the look’-
She’s got the look, -’she’s got the look’-
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue

Na na na na na,
Na na na na na na,

No fair, they're not even native speakers of English!

Seriously though, that song sucks.

I gave you everything I had
You took my heart and broke it bad
I'm not the kind who can take it alone
I've got nothing more for you
I want somebody who needs me too
I've given up, boy
I'm chasing my joy
And you can make your own
You're not the only one
'Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

It really doesn't matter to me
Where you're going and who you see
I know that I can make it this time
It doesn't matter any more
Since you've gone and walked out that door
I made a new start
I found a true heart
I'm gonna make it mine
Go out and have your fun
'Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

You can shatter glass
You can shatter glass

You're not the only one
Go out and have your fun
'Cos my time will come

You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

If someone can explain what the hell is the significance of the cake (or any of the lyrics, really), I'd appreciate it.

Yeah. I heard the Donna Summer version a month ago and I was like 'this song makes no sense." I do like Donna Summer's version, however. Is there a MacArthur Park at least?

Zappin' it to ya
The pressure's everywhere
Goin' right through ya
The fever's in the air
Oh yeah, it's there!
Don't underestimate the power
of a lifetime ahead

ELECTRIC YOUTH
Feel the power, you see the energy
Comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs
to the future itself/in the hands of itself
and the future is
ELECTRIC YOUTH
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it
the next generation...
it's electric

We've got the most time
to make the world go round
Oh, can you spare a dime?
Place your bet on our sound
Come back to town
Don't lose sight of potential mastermind
Remember when you were young

We do what comes naturally (naturally!)
You see now
wait for the possibility
Don't you see a strong resemblance
to yourself? (oh...)
Don't you think what we say is important?
Whatever it may be...
The fun is gonna start with me
'cause I'm bringing it back...

Here is my offering for silly pop song lyrics. From the great Samantha Fox.

Hello, it’s me again
Don’t you know it’s hard to keep a good woman down
But then again, maybe that could be fun
Sa-sa-sa-sa-samantha fox!

Ain’t it funny how when I say let’s go out
You’re always saying someone else will get me
What’s a girl to do - I like to have fun too
But you’re so jealous - you never let me

So how come you can leave - but when it comes to me
Always something I must prove
You know I love you - always thinking of you
But tonight - I’ve got to make that move

I wanna have some fun
Move my body all night long
I wanna have some fun
Move my body all night long
Working 9 to 5 each and every day
What your momma used to say - all work - no play
I know what to do - I think I’ll call my crew
Of course, I love you - but naughty girls need fun too

Could it be that I make you feel guilty why
Is there something I can’t see - no
I just don’t buy it - so don’t even try it
I’ve got to go in the place to be

I wanna have some fun
Move my body all night long
Working hard every day
So I ain’t staying home no way

I need it
I want it
Got to
Flaunt it

I’m not a prisoner - can’t you see
Unlock the door so I can breathe
Whenever it comes to you my dear
I say stay with me but you still go
So now I learn, it’s my turn

I want you to stay here with me
You can have fun with me
With you?
Yeah, with me!
Come on... I can have loads of fun without you
Without me?
Yeah!
