Discussion on the thread needs to contain song and/or album title's.

I'm riding the "Crazy Train" right now around "The Dark Side of the Moon" headed straight for the "Lunatic Fringe"! How ya'll doin'?

"Entre nous" (between us), I'm "Ridin' the Storm Out" while wondering Who's "Next"...


Good one, DT!

"Who are you?"

"Sam I Am"

"I am, I said"

"Hey You" go "Bark at the Moon".

Maybe i'll go out dancing tonight and do the "Wango Tango"

My thoughts turn to attempting to show "Grace Under Pressure" and I'm doing my best to use both "Hemispheres" of my brain.

Posting my thoughts on this board is "My Favorite Headache".

Can I see a "Show of Hands"?

OK. That was a gimme. It's early and you guys are some stiff competition

It sure is a "Dark and Stormy" night tonight. "Right Now" i'm watchin' "Queen Rock Montreal".

They call me "Stormy Monday", but "Tuesday's Gone" and so I'm "Workin' for the Weekend".

Skeptical: I am the "Green Eyed Lady", REALLY!

More like "Lying Eyes". Anyway, me and "Ruby Tuesday" will be "In-A-Gada-Di-Vida" until "Tuesday Afternoon". (NOT the "Ruby Don't Bring Your Love to Town" Ruby!)

I'll be the "Devil with a Blue Dress" "Livin' La Vida Loca" while "Dancing with Mr.D".

I think we are gonna have a hard winter. Be careful of the "Terminal Frost" and wear polarized glasses to avoid going "Snowblind". The "Ice Cream Man" will be in Portland very soon.

A trip abroad may be in order then. Maybe on a "Jet Airliner" to go on the "Passage to Bangkok" ...

I'd like to be "Living On A Coastline" drinking "Mos Tequila".

last night was so "Stormy" it was "Spooky". With the weather so unsettled there will be "No Surfin Today". Despite that, "Surfers Rule." Well, guess I'll get the "Schlock Rod" out of the garage and head off to the grocery store.....

(look 'em up)

I see, "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)". "Let Sally Drive". Make sure she does not "Rev on the Red Line"

Myself, "I Can't Drive 55" and seem to have a bad case of "Radar Love".

Don Felder, Sammy Hagar, Foreigner, and Golden Earring bustin' the tires loose!

It sure is hard anymore to play "The Game of Life". I just hope that "The Future Never Dies". Our future rests in the hands of the "New Generation". Let's hope that there is "Heaven for Everyone".

"A Crazy Little Thing Called Love" will get us through anything.

"Love Will Keep Us Alive". I have a great guide to "Show Me The Way".

Edit Add:
I hope Littlesongs is not a lost "Man in the Wilderness".

I will stay on the "Seven Bridges Road" until I reach "Xanadu", then it'll be "The Way the Wind Blows" for me.

The "Working Man" is just "Waitin' on a Friend", I'm sure. Plus, he's "Love Struck Baby"!

"Love Leads to Madness".

" Baby, you're a rich man! Diamonds on the soles of your shoes! Those boots are made for walkin in Memphis."

Call me "Crazy", but "After Midnight" I "Almost Cut My Hair", and "I Can't Tell You Why". Too much "Cold Gin", maybe?

"Stick it out" to catch "The Spirit of Radio," perform the "Test For Echo," check "What You're Doing," since you won't get "Something For Nothing." I myself happen to be paying attention to the "Lessons," 'cause I'm "Finding My Way." I will choose "Freewill!"

(Crazy the amount of Rush that's in this thread after only a few posts. When I was in high school, I was told that nobody else likes Rush, therefore I shouldn't either! I didn't pay any attention to them.)

My dream vacation: "Fly By Night" to "La Villa Strangiato", then follow those "Mystic Rythyms" to the "Temples of Syrinx". Hopefully, the priests are over their "Malignant Narcissism" and will give me a tour.

After all, "There's Only One Way to Rock"! Sometimes you just gotta spin that "Karma Wheel" and hope it lands on "RED".

Everyone should always "Remember the Hero's". If not for them we would not be able to live free in a country where "Eagle's Fly"!

Get on your "Bad Motor Scooter" and when you get here, "Come on in my Kitchen". You won't find any "TV Dinners", but dessert includes "Devil's Food" cake and "Custard Pie". All the "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" will be here, too!

NEW RULE!!! The post actually has to make sense.

Nevermind, no reason for this one to be any different.

Carry On my wayward son.

I'd like to thank you for lettin me be myself,
or mice elf as the case may be.

"Your No Different". Sometimes we all hit the "Point of No Return" and "Jump". Just "Don't Stop Believin'".

Send lawyers, guns and money...

"I Just Can't Help Believing" that "I Shot The Sheriff" for "Money".

How's that Roger?

"Even the Loser's" "Play the Game". "I've Done Everything For You" and still "You Make Me Crazy". "You've Got Another Thing Coming" if you think "Nothing Else Matter's".

I had some "Invaders" at my house on "22 Arcacia Avenue", which prompted me to "Run To The Hills".

Man who finds empty pizza box is "Hungry"!

Hungry Like The Wolf?

Don't forget: Saturday Night's alright for fightin'

Sometimes I have a "Momentary Lapse of Reason" and I think it is "Brain Damage". So I just "Have a Cigar" then get "Comfortably Numb".

(Edit Add: Glad to see everyone getting into the spirit! Kind of fun.)

"Reason To Believe" "Tonight's The Night" your gonna put your "Night Moves" on "Me and Bobby McGee" or is it "Me and Mrs. Jones"? "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" because you "Love The One You're With" for those "Nights In White Satin".

Well played Skep!
Well played!

Since it's the weekend, I guess

"Saturday Night's Alright For Fightin',"

or at least that's a tad better than knowing

"Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fightin.'"

The Herbster

Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

I have been unable to post to this thread all day because I've been feeling a little down.
You see, I had to go to a Funeral for a Friend.
I guess that's why they call it the Blues.
But such is The Circle of Life.

I'd hang out and post some more but I gotta be Levon.

The Bitch is Back

"HEY, HERB, Get Off of My Cloud"!

If you've got a Cable/DSL connection - and a beer or two wouldn't hurt - tune in. You guys have reminded me a few that I am in the mood to play/hear.

I don't know why you say Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, I say Hello Mary Lou.

This "November Rain" sure is not "Paradise City". "Who'll Stop the Rain"?

"Remember The Future"? "Nostradamus" said I'd be "Paranoid" "When Love Comes to Town" because she's only "Sweet Sixteen" but she's a real "Hard Headed Woman".

We tried to "Rock Around The Clock" with the "Night Moves" but "The Thrill is Gone". Now I guess we’ll just have to sit around the “Shanty” and put a good buzz on.

I "Had to Cry Today" because "I Can't Find My Way Home" but I'm "On the Road to Find Out" so "Let's Work Together" and ride the "Peace Train" to "Katmandu". On the way back we'll ride the "Chicken Train" for "500 Miles" with our hair "Blowin in the Wind".

"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is"? Our Reservations are at "25 or 6 to Four" at "Alice's Restaurant"

"What Have They Done To My Song Ma"? I guess I'll have to call the "Two Hangmen" or "Transformer Man" to take the "Nantucket Sleighride".

You'd better "Listen to What the Man Said" because this is just another "Silly Love Song"!

There. My 1000th post!

"Please Mr. Postman" "Shut Your Mouth!"

A measure of character is the power to believe we can change the world.

(Mark Isham, Dream Academy, Jacksons)

"I'm A Believer"

Starting to drag a bit people, c'mon "Make Me Smile".

Oh, before I forget, does anyone know the answers to Questions 67 and 68? If so, Save for a Rainy Day.

Is there "Anybody Listening"? "Silent Lucidity" is great but does not fair well in conversation. You guys and gals are walking "The Thin Line" and i'm doing the "Best I Can" to keep things rolling. I don't want this to be "Another Rainy Night (Without You)". "Resistance" if futile!

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 are enjoying the Stormy Weather. We're putting on our Rubber Soul boots because These Boots are Made For Walk(ing) The Line. We'll be Walkin' after midnight if this keeps up!

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!

A BEATLES BASED SPY MYSTERY

It started out as a Good Day. Sunshine warmed my face as I awoke to the sound of a Blackbird outside the window.

It had been a Hard Day’s night, and I found myself struggling to recall the events that led me to waking up beside the beautiful Girl in my bed.

Things like this don’t usually happen to me. I’m a loser.

Her name was Julia, and she had been sent by her handlers Back in the USSR to work with me to locate a Yellow Submarine that had gone missing from the Pavlovsk Bay nuclear submarine base.

We had Come together over drinks in a bar called The Old Brown Shoe.
I had just entered the bar and I saw her standing there, trying to Act Naturally.

The girl was stunning. I could feel the Norse blood in me begin to stir, and before long I found myself sporting some Norwegian Wood.

I should have known better, but I decided to approach her right away and deliver my code phrase.
Do you want to know a Secret? , I asked.
She identified herself by responding with “I already know about the fool on the hill”.

She said she had a contact who lives out in the countryside east of town, and that we should head out there and talk to him right away.
Who is this guy? I asked.
I know him only as The Nowhere Man.

I was reluctant, not wanting to run around here there and everywhere all Helter Skelter.

She said we can work it out on the way.

I tossed her my keys and said Baby you can drive my car.

As we exited the bar I told her my car was parked two blocks up on Penny Lane.

As we approached my Bentley, she paused and said Baby you’re a rich man.
I told her it was just a company car.

A Postal Service vehicle was double parked and blocking us in.
I approached the truck and said Please Mr. Postman, could you move this thing?

He did, and we were off.

We went down a long and winding road to the heart of the country.
As we crested a hill you could look out and see strawberry fields forever.

She stopped the car abruptly and said “My sweet lord”!
“What is it”, I asked?
“Something” she replied.
“What”?
I just saw a face.

I looked out across the field and there was a man on his roof Fixing a hole.
I suggested we pull over and keep an eye on him.
“Why don’t we do it in the road?” she asked.
“Because I don’t want him to see us”.

It was too late.

“Run for your life” I said, and we ran back to the car and locked the doors.
He approached the car and knocked on the passenger side window.
“Help”, I said, “What should I do”?
“Let ‘em in”, she said. With a little luck he’ll have the information we’re looking for.

He opened the door and slid into the back seat.
“How can I help you”, he asked?

“We’d like to know what happened to the missing submarine”, I said
“I Imagine you would”, he said.
“Stop the mind games and tell us what you want”
“Money. That’s what I want”, he said.

I handed him a one hundred dollar bill, and he stared blankly at me.
I handed him another and he said “Getting Better”.
I looked to Julia, and she said “Listen to what the man said”
“I will”, I said.

After handing over ten bills, he told us the submarine we were looking for was in his barn.
Incredulous, I asked how on earth he managed to get a submarine from its base in Pavlovsk Bay to a barn in the country.

“With a little help from my friends”, he said. “I can carry that weight.
“When did you do it”, I asked?
“Yesterday”, he said.
“Well Maybe I’m amazed”, I replied
“Whatever gets you through the night” was his only comment.

With the mystery solved, we headed back to town.
“Is this just a day in the life for you”, she asked?
“Eight days a week”, I told her.

...DING DING DING!!!!!!

We have a winner!!!!!!

AMUS, Collect your prize at the next PDX alumni gathering.

It's all in the game.

Amus, never let anyone say, "You Can't Do That." :0)

This thread Hits me square in the Peg o' My Heart like Some Girls, Sundown and The Rain, the Park & Other Things.

I'll get to The Point. Wednesday Morning 3 A.M. my OK Computer was Hunky Dory. As Days of Future Passed, my best source of Edutainment got Sweet Revenge. It’s Hard to Suddenly find yourself on a Rewind to Paris 1919, but after years of Odds & Sods and Diesel & Dust, a Feather in the Engine got to the Best of the Dells.

I spent the Wee Small Hours of Yesterday and Today finding out What’s Goin’ On with A Little Help from My Friends. After a bit of Brain Salad Surgery – obviously Meat is Murder - we started Catching Up With the Ghost in the Machine. I will not bore you with the Fables of the Reconstruction. Are We Not Men? – just kidding, there is enough Exile in Guyville around Here already.

It was a Beggars Banquet without I, Robot and the Magic Transistor Radio. I missed my Friends. If it weren’t for Work, I Imagine I might have spent A Day at the Races, explored Whipped Cream & other Delights with The One & Only, watched Television in my Imperial Bedroom, or heard the din of the Carpenters.

I am Happy/Sad to be enjoying the Arrival of Something Else. Though I Lost some Pure Gold, along with a few Slanted & Enchanted goodies, there is no point Living in the Past. It is Time to say Goodbye to the Old & In the Way and Hello to a Brave New World. Now, with a Fresh hard drive, I can see Moving Pictures, check Picturesque Matchstickable Messages in my Three Lock Box, and get All the News That’s Fit to Sing from The Jazz Messengers.

This calls for a Celebration. I will toast you all with a Green River.

Hey Little, man I thought for sure you were "Marooned" or something. I am glad this "Mystery" is solved and that you were not stuck in "Limbo". To bad about the ol' puter having an "Appetite for Destruction" but it's great to see you "Flying High Again"!

"I (Who Have Nothing)."

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing! Rainy day People don't care. Tell it to the rain.

"Rainy Days and Mondays" always get me down.

Here Comes that Rainy Day Feeling Again.

"...Here Comes that Rainy Day Feeling Again..."

No, those "FEELINGS" are just a bad case of "Classical Gas"!

HEY DT......

Are you going to "Auntie Grezelda's" for Thanksgiving dinner?

Nah, I think I will go to "Alice's Restaurant".

MAN, Whats "That Smell"? Must have been the "Beans" he ate!

This entire thread reminded me of a graded assignment I actually turned in during my high school days, where I used a bunch of song titles to suggest actual events and present them in a slightly humorous light... strangely enough, while going through some things for a college research assignment on something totally unrelated, I couldn't believe that I found it and that I still have it. I never dated it... but its circa 1996-97. Here it is, unabridged, in it's misspelled, bad grammar glory. Enjoy!
Warning - tell your kids to not try this themselves! They probably won't like the result, and the only reason I got 80% on it was because my particular teacher had a sense of humor.

"Newflyer"
P. 3

Lewis and Clark were some explorers that explored the Pacific Northwest. It was very important because otherwise it might not be part of the U.S. today.

Because they traveled in the dark of the new moon or flew by night, or something to that effect, they found Sacajewea. She had a rebel yell and found the passage to Bangkok. Lewis and Clark almost declined, but Sacajewea said they wouldn't have a ghost of a chance without her.

They found out that the trip was actually possible, because they were driven to the margin of error. By the time they found their way back home, they had built the Temples of Syrinx, helped out the trees, and tested for echo. People asked them what they were doing, and they just said it was their free will.

After that, they showed, not told, because multiple forces of ten made it to red sector A and started subdivisions. People became new world men, got the big money and started the Manhattan Project.

So now we can crank up the spirit of radio, get closer to the heart, spin the big wheel, and say farewell to the kings.

You bet your life I'll be asking "where's my thing?" one of these dog years, because I really had a blackout, and these are things we call the zoo. So someone get me out of here alive, because I'm rotting, and I got a stone in my shoe. So what's the story, morning glory? And uh, thank you Seattle.

Don't worry, because I think that I could loose it, because sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. And if anyone sees the guy with the star map of Hollywood and the cheap motel list, or the other guy with the road map of Jupiter, that they both owe me 50 bucks, and I will collect.

So thank you, Lewis and Clark. So I really don't know much about you, but at least I do think that you did kicked some butt!

(Looking back, I can't believe I turned this in and got away with it. There was a newspaper article a while back that said kids do so much about the Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark that they get tired of it, I think that's what hit me when I originally wrote the assignment. I think the whole part where I digressed had to do with the fact that we/I live here, and probably wouldn't had the whole L&C expedition not happened.)

Allright... now back to what I was supposed to be doing!

I thought it was Martin and Lewis. Clark was with McCulloch in vaudeville and some early short features. They never played the Trail, But I think they did shows at the Orpheum in Portland.

No wonder you only got an 80.

Keep on rockin in the free world. (post save)

Now go play Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Time Stands Still.

Lewis and Clark were crazy.

All that paddling and canoeing they did was a lot of hard work for nothing.

There are train tracks right along the Columbia River. Why didn't they just take the train?

So to keep in sync with this thread, they should have taken "The Last Train To Clarksville"!

Well then you just get a "Ticket to Ride" and just jump on that ol' "Train Train".

And besides, it was the Clark & Lewis expedition.
