Cups and Cakes by Spinal Tap

Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes
Oh what good things mother makes
You've got to take tea won't you take it with me
What a gay time it will be

Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes

Please make sure that nothing breaks
The china's so dear and the treacle so clear
And I'm glad that you are here
Milk and sugar
Bread and Jam
Yes please, sir, and thank you ma'm
Here I am

Cups and cakes
Cups and cakes

I'm so full my tummy aches
How sad it must end
But I'm glad I've a friend
Sharing cups and cakes with me
And cakes with me...

To quote Sally from the "Peanuts" comics. "Isn't he the sweetest thing."

It does lose something in the Kiss make-up Vancouristic translation though. :shock:

The Madd Hatter in Kiss getup; this tea party is something to experience.

:D Great thread! If it's a pub, they must have:
Roadhouse Blues-The Doors
Little Queenie- (Stones version)
Authority Song-Jimmy Eat World
-AND-
Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
(real song-don't know whodunnit) :P

Kiss Kai rocks! But as for my feelings on Kiss itself, I think Rock And Roll Hell pretty much sums it up:

Rock And Roll Hell by Kiss

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell blah, blah, blah etc. etc.

(My little MM tribute pic page)

BTW, great choice of music Mandara K!

There's magic in these threads again folks! The downside is the bombing in Casablanca; the upside is the fact the TCM(Turner Classic Movies) aired both The Mummy and The Raven with Boris Karloff last night. I was sooo excited.... :D It wasn't "The Raven" I prefer but it was do-able.

Whad' I tell ya; more freakin' damn pyramids! Did you ever see a lot of something over and over and until something happens it doesn't go away; and then an event occurs and then
it goes away. I do wish whatever is happening with pyramids would hurry up so I can concentrate on something else :cry: : :x

Do-able, but was it singable?

Alan Parsons Project: The Raven

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore.

The Raven is off one of my fave concept albums, Tales of Mystery and Imagination -- it helps that I love Poe (but not Po! The Teletubbies are evil, IMHO).

King's "Love & Pride"

cheesy as all hell, but I like it. ;)

"Get THEE behind me LA LA!" Look it's Satan's familiar and he's... she's...... hell..... whatever.... carrying a purse."

Sorry, thinking about Miller's "The Crucible" but in children's muppety form or even better... "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

My music has switched to some older Paul Oakenfold's trance and "old Blue Eyes" tunes like NY,NY or Mac the Knife. :roll: I have no idea why, probly
because of all the older films I'm watching, musicals and such.
Bogie still rules though. Or Because Frankie such a swingin' cat even though he's dead.

Oh, give me a few days it'll switch again :wink:

Another cheesy song:

CHOAST (Cheese and Toast Make Choast)
Lyrics and music by Brent Boehler

Choast, Choast, beautiful Choast,
I like it a lot and I eat it the most.
Choast, Choast, beautiful Choast,
Cheese and toast makes Choast.
Cheese and toast makes Choast.

To make some Choast here's what you need,
a slice of bread and some wonderful cheese.
A little bit of pepper and some orange salt,
And three hundred and fifty degrees.

Chorus

Ask your Mom or Dad to slice the cheese,
And turn on the oven, don't forget to say please!!
And the salt and pepper and some TLC.
It's as easy as One...Two...Three.

Chorus

Now place it in the oven for ten or fifteen
Minutes until the cheese is melty.
I think it's ready, can I have some please.
Let's have some toast and cheese!

I've been playing these songs a lot the last few days, guess it shows something about my current state of mind...

Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Dreamer by Ozzy Osbourne

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Dreamer by Supertramp

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said 'Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!'
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said 'Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!'
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
OH NO!

Love those selections Nursewhen! I'm listening to Blondie's Rapture as I type. Now it's U2's "In the Name of Love" I love these lines.......

Early morning April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last they took your life
they could not take your pride

And again from U2 from "From the Cradle to the Grave" it's asong that has significance to me not for human to human love but to my spiritual love of my life; so it's important for personal to me.

"You say you want
diamonds and a ring a gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you..."

It's like a conversation I have with the Buddha since I'm a Buddhist.

Some of the "promises" that I hear back.....

You say You'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest

TAke care

it is called "This Is God" by Phil Vassar. i may be wrong about the exact title and the spelling of the artist name. but i feel this is a very important song especially with the current world situation! i can't hear this song without tears in my eyes! if someone can find the lyrics for me i would love it. i think he is a new artist in the country western music market. that is not what i normally listen to but i got a chance to see 2 of his songs on a tv program, and i fell in love with his music and message! i would also recommend his song called "An American Child". it may be called "An American Child" but it speaks to every person who has grown up on the bad side of town and still had the power to rise up and make a difference! i find this guy a perfect example of that! from what i have heard. so i would love to see what everybody thinks about him and i would love to have a link to a site if someone has one. :D :D :D :D

Radar Love by Golden Earring

Oh and message received.... no.... er .....reason to shout

Not that it matters much to anyone anymore but bluegrass is the choice for me now including the tune "I'll Fly Away" and "I Am Weary" from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack and "Crazy Fate" and "Take Me For Longing" from the album New Favorite- Allison Kraus and Union Station.

You may all go back whatever you might be doing.

I'm in love with American movies,
I see one almost every day.
Science fiction means everything to me,
The word of god on a cathode ray.
We're the church of the modern-day cinema,
Mother Mary was born today.
A perfect way to model my behavior,
See her act the video plays.

"I would be for you a fire in a rainbow
I would be for you an opening door.
Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom
Try to forget them or love me no more."

"I'm not asking your heart to believe me
I'm not asking for promise or plans.
Forever the answers, yes that's the question.
I am the fool dancing over the edge."

Take Me for Longing >> New Favorite>>> Allison Kraus and Union Station

Long, Cool Woman -------The Hollies

So sowry no sci-fi here :?

apart from the usual (Blink 182, Anouk, A, Zebrahead, Jimmy Eat World, Lit and Feeder) Ive been listening to "simple plan" lately. They're a bit pop, but Im bored as hell with music out now. Ive also been listening to The Ataris. It's wierd how it caught my eye. I saw them on MTV, and their album is called 'so long, Astoria'. Astoria is the town the Goonies lived in. I checked the internet and found out this IS why they called the album. They're all Goonies fans. Of course, I used kazaa to find some more of their stuff. It's okay, they're a cover band more than anything though. Lots of 80's rock repunked. Tis okay.

Well, I've got to change it up myself. I' m 70's and 80's bound ....

Okay, let's hear the groan and looks of revulsion....

The Jackson 5 ----ABC
Ditto-------------Stop, the Love You Save

Men Without Hats--------------Safety Dance
Alanna Myles----------------------Black Velvet

and time to blow the dust off the Ballbuster Ballet by T and I really I'm partial to the Arabian Dance in the Nutcracker Suite; always gave me goose bumps even as a child.

I Feel the Earth Move---- Carole King

If the House Is a Rockin'---- Stevie Ray Vaugn

Must be something seismic in the air! :?

Jeopardy- humming the TV show version.... listening to Greg Kihn's version and Rush's Tom Sawyer and new World Man; and a little of Seb Fontaine's Prototype such as "Back To Love"
