alright, I know I said no
but I can't resist.

I don't the answer to your intro though....

I have to admit the only songs I know well are Cover of Rolling Stone, you make my pants want to get up and dance, Sexy Eyes, and when you're in love with a beautiful woman

hmmm, probably
can't even think how Cover of Rolling Stone goes, so I'm boned when it comes to remember others...

Is 'boned' a yokel term?
Because I'll be honest with you, I'm confused right now.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 11 Jan 2010, 12:12, Reply)

My uncle offered me the money for that once
When he thought I was still a lesbian and thought I was pining for a baby.
He was wrong on both counts, but the fact that he was going to try and raise £1500 for me to get some jizz off a man on a moped really cheered me.

If you give me £1500 I'll get you some
but I refuse to be named as the father.

I find Dr. Hook an odd mix
They seem to produce 90%+ execrable love longs that make me want to retch with occasional streaks of humour, that really doesn't seem to fit with the rest.

For example the songs I can bear to have on my MP3 player include:
Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me
Gimme That Thing
I Got Stoned And I Missed It

I like these songs a lot but they seriously had me searching t'internet to see if there were 2 bands called Dr. Hook. I mean you tell me how the same people responsible for When You're in Love With a Beautiful woman, also wrote:

I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day
Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son
There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away"

But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit
Then I rolled myself a bauma
Then I thought about my mama
Then I fooled around, played around
Jacked around a while and then

I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned oh me oh my

Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit
Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cosy
When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit

I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned oh me oh my

Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses
Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day
But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say

I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned oh me oh my

Ah, that was on a cassette I had
But not on my vinyl album of the greatest hits, which is all I have left to me nooooow.

might save me some time.
The thing about bands fom the 70s is that generally I know them already if they're going to be my cup of tea. This is why I was so excited by Tractor. How they slipped through my patented 'net of ultimate nerdiness' I do not know...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 11 Jan 2010, 12:40, Reply)

the aforementioned song amuses me
has some good lyrics, such as
"I've got a freaky old lady, name of Cocaine Katy, who embroideries on my jeans,
I've got my poor old grey-haired daddy, driving my limousine"
