The Bug Song
 

Do you guys remember the bug song that Christine's band played at her solo shows? She left the stage, & those guys rocked out!

Why didn't she stay for it & put some tasty blues piano on it?

cos she was drinking a case of champagne and had to squirt

Well, she . . . I mean . . . she . . . uhh . . . yeah, I guess . . .
:wavey:

The bug song?

That's "The Guitar Bug". It was a song in the middle of the set on her 1984 solo tour. Todd Sharp did it. He co-wrote it with Billy Burnette. Todd did it so that Chris could take a bathroom break, as jbrownsjr so succinctly put it.:lol:

hehehe, did he really? how sweet! writing her a whole song just so she could go pee! shes obviously very much adored not just among us!:D

Are there any shows on tape where Chris didn't go pee but stayed onstage & played during the bug song?

I know she left the stage at Universal. She was gone, baby, gone, her love is gone.

I'd never heard of this. Sounds interesting.:nod:

I only have a few shows with "Guitar Bug" & she left the stage every time. She said she was leaving to "dry her hair".:laugh: When I saw her, she left too. I think "Guitar Bug" was her "pee song" on that tour.:laugh:

they had a portable potty behind her piano at my show...


ok no

are there any good full bootlegs going around of chris tour that some one can post....

I have a few complete bootlegs. The best of them is the Beacon Theatre show from New York. I have dial-up. I can't post the entire show at one time because it would take too long to upload all of them at once. I'd be willing to post a few tracks each day, if anyone is interested.

Ooh, would'ja? I don't have the NY show, just LA '83, and Chicago '84. And... Songbird from the Jackson show. I like that one, actually. "I know there really is no town called Great Adventure.... What's the name of the town here, then?" :laugh:

I'll start posting them tomorrow, a few tracks each day. The Chicago show is the best from that tour, but it's not the whole show. Yes, that Jackson show is very funny. She was really confused.:laugh: "I thought Great Adventure is a funny name for a town.":lol:

"Oh, it is Jackson! Okay, well... Jackson! I want to sing a song.... for you. Especially for you"


What's the 'tragic news' thing? :shrug:
