Stevie's outfit on Leno

[gypsysara]

Cryin in the morning, trying to be strong
Waitin for my consultants, waiting for their call
Dressing don’t mean what it says at all
My fashion statements say that Im destined to fall…

Cant stand it… you thought you saw something, on my sleeve
Cant stand it… it’s a shame it was just a stain, I got a reprieve

Why the sad face, oh darling…
Was it my black dress… shadow light
I meant to cause no trouble for you
This is the dress of my life

Cant stand it… you thought you saw something, on my dress
Cant stand it… its tacky as all hell, I do confess.
Cant stand it… woooh its just a dress, for one night
Cant stand it… I hope you change it.

The dress was gone, far away from me
You saw it on Today it wasn’t a dream
In those pants… that no one dreamed of
My fashion statements say that Im destined to fall..

Cant stand it… you thought you saw something, on my pants
Cant stand it… it’s a shame you didn’t tell me, before I danced
Cant stand it… well its just an outfit for today
Cant stand it… Ooohhh I hope you change it.

Woo Woo Woo I hope you change it.

Yeah Yeah Yeah you need to change it.

Woo Woo Woo We really mean it!

(to Whole Lotta Trouble)

Would you change your dress
At the very last moment
Would you stop for a second
I think you should look in the mirror
In the concert light
He says, you're wearing THAT again
She says, I think I need a stylist, baby

Sometimes I wonder
If you’d let your fans dress you
Let them dress you up
Like a paper doll
Would you change your mind
At the very last minute
I think you stop for a second
And let them dress you

Well this could be a whole new wardrobe
A whole new wardrobe
A whole new wardrobe for you

That Black Dress (To The Tune of "Blue Denim")

I wore it the other day
I wore it again yesterday
You know you can expect me to wear it again
I am talking about That Black Dress

chorus:
Drab black sack...won't change with the decades
Or change with my weight...it's my fashion fate
It's always the same...it's glued to my frame
Drab sack...That Black dress
Drab sack...That Black Dress

I knew another way to dress
My fashion sense wasn't always a mess
Some days I'd wear cotton or suede
But this black dress I would not trade for jade
I turned away from the fashion police
This tired dress I will never release
You never thought I would still look the same
But I velcroed it on yesterday

chorus

Understanding style...understanding change
It isn't in my fashion range
Surrendering this dress...surrendering this mess
I'd rather dress like Sharon Gless

And I will never forget
The first time I saw it
A Morticia rag so rare
Like a frump-fest
No I will never forget
The first time I wore it
And Margi sewed on...my custom
Mic monitoooooor pouuuuuch...

Chorus

So I 'm going away for a shopping spree
If I remember where the mall is
And If I buy a new dress
I promise you...I might dare to wear it
Oh yes I'm going away on a shopping spree
If Sharon drives me to the boutique
And if I buy a new dress
I promise you
I might dare to wear it
I might dare to wear
I might dare to wear it

[sparky]

Stevie you're stuck there by your wardrobe door
In that raggy black sack
You've worn a hundred times before
You say "Yeah, well what am I supposed to wear?"
"I couldn't shop cause I was curling my hair!"

So you had a little trouble with your hip
And have a dress that's tired and it's ripped
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that dress around

It's hard to give up the clothes you've worn out
It's hard to take off those worn out rags
This doesn't have to be an Oprah makeover
Just go to Macy's and fill up a few bags

I know you really want to tell it goodbye
I know want to wear a new dress
And twirl

Baby you should buy a new shawl and skirt
A snappy hat and some long pants wouldn't hurt
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that dress around

There are dress stores open all over the world
Got many things to custom make for you
They'll make a wardrobe for a drab dressed star
You need someone who will outfit you

I know you really want to ditch that rag
Not even moths would touch that threadbare bag

Baby you would look so good in blue or red
Instead of looking like you just rolled out of bed
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that
Stop draggin that dress around !

OMG the hip reference is so funny it made me spit my drink.

The sad thing is, we love her (except for the dress) so imagine what people who are not her fans say/think about her. Yikes!

Anyway, I like the singing telegram idea. But we're going to have to put together some sort of medley of all the best numbers. I don't think she's listen to an hour long telegram

[gypsysara]

(instead of Sorceror... Couture!)

Couture
Who is flashier
A man and woman in a fine dream
Wearing clothes without a seam
Couture
This is the high life
Put it on
Wear it all night…

[sparky]

The last time I got a
Brand new dress
It was right before The Dance
I got myself about a dozen then
I should have bought myself some pants

"You've worn that thing for
You've worn that thing for how long?" they say.
"Ooooh, why don't you take it off"
They say, "It doesn't match the Reeboks, now, Miss Nicks"

Seems like a thousand days, I've worn this dress
Seems like a thousand days, I've worn this dress

You need some shirts, you need some gloves
Ditch that chiffon, it makes a mountain of your butt
You've got the time, you've got the taste
That Atkins diet gave you back your waist
Anna Sui would give some clothes to you
And Richard Tyler, he gave you a red dress too
Lose that moo-moo

Get new clothes, song bird, just for one tour
Well I know that your figure's great
That black dress ought to be tossed into the sewer
You live by the light of the moon
Toss that old rag in the fire
Get yourself into that old ballet room
Just how many clothes in there fit you now

Oooh, I can see the platforms
Well, all the colors are in there now
We're just requesting a change
So you like some kind of
Vogue/Elle compilation, resuscitation
Being the only one who won't change her dress
And give it a rest
Wear some great colors and some bright platforms

And if the dress retires soon
And the fans rejoice again
Why has your favorite dress become our greatest pain ?




OMG. Somebody stop me.

[Livia]

NO! Keep going!! This is so much fun! Does anybody remember laughter?

[Grainuaile]

Sweet merciful Figwit!



I heart you guys.

Those parodies were a ray of sunshine in my otherwise dreary day.

Keep 'em coming!!

[FiercestCalmSea]

Oh my GOD...you guys crack me up...I worked 9 hours w. no break today..I so wanted to just fall over...but this is great..I am LMAO

[dissention]

LMAO! See what I started?! We've got some fireballs on this board! Let's all exhaust our creative juices, folks! Maybe I should do a poll for the best number!

[Bella Figura]

when I see it again
will it be the same
when I see it again
will it be black chiffon
when I see it again
will your great fans say

what's the matter baby
that black dress just drives us crazy
what's the matter baby
try gold, burgandy or ivory, just say maybe

So she walks slowly
down the hall
there are many dresses
in the closet

and she stares at the black
ooh, there are many black dresses
to stare at these days
If she sees Sheryl again
will your very best friend
will your very best friend
oh, replace that dress with some leather

repeat chorus if you'd like

and the fans say I want you
to change your fashion sense
so she stays up nights on end
well, at least she has some fans left

when I see it again
will it be the same
when I see it again
will it be black chiffon
when I see it again
will the back dress be over

over and over
again and again

the black dress remains the same

[darklinensuit]

I found a song that required minimal lyrical adjustment. Get out your dance shoes & crank up the bass!

We see no change in sight
Watching her decline
She gets on the drab black dress
She's done it ten thousand times

When a look starts out on The Dance Tour
It doesn't do well in 2003
But the looks of the runway
That have come by over six years
Had really better stay away

I know you don't agree
Every day you tell me
I know you don't agree

I know you hate it
Every day I wear it
I say I adore it
What can I wear
You can't change me
You can't outfit me
The dress is on me
All of the time
Anywhere I stay
Anytime I play
Perform live
Perform live

Maybe you've got some new dress
That you can't get on me
Maybe it's the reason that you
Look way from me

It's not like this burial frock needs to be saved
Well you always know the shroud is on me
My friend

Where nobody sees me
At least without the dress on
She rarely goes out
She spends every day
Waiting for the day
When both the armpits air out

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

(Cue Lindsey's acoustic guitar

I took my black dress
And spun around
Cllimbed on bathroom scale
Saw I'd lost more pounds
And I saw my reflection
In the blue crystal lamp
'Til the Ledge board brought me down

Oh posters on this board
What is chic
Why don't you think this dress
Flatters each cheek
Can I wow you once more with my style
Like I dance atop the beautiful bathroom tile?

Dress, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my look around you
But time makes you bolder
Even Stevie Nicks gets older
And this dress makes her look older, too

So take this dress
Take it off
When I walk out onstage
You'll no longer scoff
And if you see me performing Edge of 17
With a stuffed animal hand me a new dress
And if you see me performing Edge of 17
With a stuffed animal hand me a new dress

- Jake
(Hey, it's not as good as the Fajita Round-up, but it fit.)

[sparky]

RE : EFO, Dress-slide and RTTG

Jake, you have almost made me pee my pants not once, not twice, but three times. You're a riot !

I am currently out of both inspiration and time, but I may give a few more tries before the night is through.
