This may end up being just a 45, but I hope for box set.

Anyhow, let’s compile a collection of songs that speak to the Lit-sperience. YouTube link would be cool; lyrics welcome as well.

Let’s start it out with a rocker. I think it was just as good as My Sharona.

Good Girls Don’t, the Knack
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc4l5EpCMEc

She's your adolescent dream
Schoolboy stuff, a sticky sweet romance
And she makes you want to scream
Wishing you could get inside her pants
So you fantasize away
While you're squeezing her, you thought you heard her saying

Good girls don't
Good girls don't
But she'll be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do

So you call her on the phone
To talk about the teachers that you hate
And she says she's all alone
And her parents won't be coming home till late
There's a ringing in your brain
'Cause you could've swore you thought you heard her saying

Good girls don't
Good girls don't
But she'll be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do

And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Till she's sitting on your face

You're alone with her at last
And you're waiting till you think the time is right
'Cause you've heard she's pretty fast
And you're hoping that she'll give you some tonight
So, you start to make your play
'Cause you could've swore you thought you heard her saying

Good girls don't
Good girls don't
But she'll be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do

And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Till she's sitting on your face
It hurts

Good girls don't
Good girls don't
But she'll be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do
Good girls don't
Good girls don't
But she'll be telling you
Good girls don't, but I do
But I do
But I do
But I do
 
Love in the Shadows, Neil Sedaka (I know; just go with it)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1PYtoKH3Vhg

In the shadows, you've got to know your lover mostly by feel
You've got to put your faith in things you can touch
If you dare to

Cos the shadows, can make you crazy with the things they reveal
They show it all without revealing too much
Scare the hell out of you

Cos me and my love, live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alley way
Now me and my love, make love among the shadows
When the sun goes down, in a dark hallway
Love in the shadows where the crowd never goes
Deep in the shadows where flowers won't grow
Me and my baby know, love in the shadows

In the shadows, you've got to work at love to get it to shine
You can't believe in everything that you see
Not this time around

Cos the shadows, can play a half a million tricks on your mind
You try your best but you can never be free
It just kinda drags you down

Cos me and my love, live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alley way
Now me and my love, make love among the shadows
When the sun goes down, in a dark hallway
Love in the shadows where the crowd never goes
Deep in the shadows where flowers won't grow
Me and my baby know, love in the shadows
 
LOL...but that album title and cover...

If I had thought of this earlier, it might have led things off.

Me and Mrs. Jones, Billy Paul

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JKEItVNlYXI

Me and Mrs Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

We meet every day at the same cafe
6:30
I know, I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song

Me and Mrs, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes up too high
Cause she's got her own obligations
And so, and so do I

Me and Mrs, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

Well, it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way
And I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place
The same time

Me and Mrs, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones

U + UR Hand
😂😂


I'm not here for your entertainment
No no no
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
Just take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
Yeah oh
 
Distant Lover- Marvin Gaye
https://youtu.be/NShJXGrNotU

Distant lover, lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
So many miles away
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night, every night
I plan, sometimes I dance
Through the day
Distant lover, lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
You should think about me
And say a prayer for me
Please, please baby
Think about me sometimes
Think about me here
Here in misery
Misery
As I reminisce, oh baby
Through our joyful summer together
The promises we made
All the daily letters
Then, all of a sudden
Everything seemed to explode
Now, I gaze out my window
Sugar, down a lonesome road
Distant lover
(Lover, lover, lover)
Sugar, how can you treat my heart
So mean and cruel
Sugar, sugar
That every moment that I spent with you
I treasure every like it was a precious jewel
(Please) Lord have mercy
Please, come back, baby
Somethin' I wanna say
When you left
You took all of me with you
Do you wanna hear me scream
Please please oh please baby
Come back and hold me, girl
 
just because the topics here can be about anything and everything...

Places in Between - Terri Hendrix
https://youtu.be/3EkYPwX2-bg

Sweet sweet Betty with the big blonde hair and the dark brown roots
Always has her bright pink lipstick goin'
With a lil' bit showin' on her left front tooth
Sweet sweet Betty meets me at the bar on the corner of 11th and Green
To talk about politics and lunatics and places in between

Lil' Jenn has her world in a swirl cause she fell in love with a coffee girl
Fell in love at the corner cafe with a 20 year old who swings both ways
Lil' Jenn meets me at the bar on the corner of 11th and Green
To talk about politics and lunatics and places in between

There are places in between
I been here goin' on 10 years
I told him all of my dreams
He said he'd buy me a flat in New York City

Debbie dates a millionaire she capped her teeth and dyed her hair
Betty and Jenn and me all swear she's never paid her tab
There is no choice if you know what I mean
The only game in town we got is this scene
Someday we say we'll make a getaway in a limo and not a cab

Sweet sweet Betty can smoke and eat and talk at the same time
She's doin' hair and make-up at Claire's and says if I did I'd fit in fine
There's somethin' in a town this small that I find way too tall
I fear i'll get stuck here cause I can't climb

There are places in between
I been here goin' on 10 years
I told him all of my dreams
I guess I ain't going to New York City
 
A little ingenuity^^^

Of course, it can be all fun and games until someone gets hurt, alas.

Jukebox, Flirts

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ3XOqm0miA

So I saw you in the pizza place
You were with another girl
It was a crime it was such a disgrace
You really shattered my world
Little things remind me of you
Cheap cologne and that damn song too
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more
Then I learned the treacherous end
You were with my best friend
Ain't got no class ain't got no respect
My broken heart will never mend
Little things remind me of you
Cheap cologne and that damn song too
Don't put another dime in the jukebox
I don't want to hear that song no more

Walk on the Wild Side ~ Lou Reed

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side"
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, Joe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar
Take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side", alright
Huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side"
And the colored girls say
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

She's Vibrator Dependent - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
https://youtu.be/_IzWBMIq9ko

Came home early one night from work
Thought my wife's in bed with a jerk
She's in there with a piece of plastic
Yelling and screamin' super deluxe creamin'
She don't want my lovestick

Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys

She don't want to go out and dance
She don't want to get in my pants
Just stay home and vibrate
I'm getting big blisters on my hands, thinking maybe I ain't a man
Man she ain't gonna get impregnate


Cause she's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys

Play with them honey

There she was, in the bathroom
Sounded like she was shaving her tallywhacker with a
Battery-powered device
Me, I'm prancing around in the living room
Got the demon jism buildup
I mean I got a severe case of it
Lot of pressure on my brain, eyeballs turning white, grabbing my tallywhacker all the time
I look her in the eye, and I say, uh, I say
"Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby please! Baby you got something I need, something I want
I want to put my face in the special place."
She says "what?"
"I want to put my face in the special place
Yeah, I want to get ring around the face honey
You know what I'm talking about, when the full moon comes around."
She said "Mojy wojy, you got to do something for me if you want to do that."
I said "What's that honey?"
She said "Mojy, know what you got to do? You know I got these battery powered things here, and you know I got some things plug into the wall, put 110 volts on my tallywhacker
Mojo, I want you to go out to the store, I want you to get me something, something big and ugly, gigantic vibrator, Vibratorzilla it'd be
And unplug the refrigerator Mojo, get Vibratorzilla in there and put 220 on the money, honey!"
I said "Baby, you done gone crazy."
"And then Mojo, you can put your face in the special place...

But you're gonna have to, gonna have to
Make a little noise

Took her down to see a nurse
Cure her of this terrible curse
Doctor said lady you're afflicted,
Ma'am you've got a terrible habit
now I told you not to grab it
I pronounce you addicted

She's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys

She's vibrator dependent, don't want me in it
Says I don't make the right noise
Been replaced by batteries, hey there fellas can't you see
She just wants to play with her toys
She just wants to play with her toys

She's got VD, that's Vibrator Dependency now isn't it. No honey you can't plug my toes into the wall, I ain't gonna hum no more either
 
Womanizer -Britney Spears

Superstar, where you from? How's it going?
I know you got a clue what you're doing
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a womanizer, baby
You, you-you are, you, you-you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
(Womanizer)

Boy don't try to front, I-I
Know just, just, what you are, are-are
Boy don't try to front, I-I

Know just, just, what you are, are-are
You got me goin'
(You!) You're oh so charmin'
(You!) But I can't do it
(You!) You womanizer......
 
Donna Summer - Hot Stuff

Lookin' for some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
 
I did a search of “Version of Me,” to see if there was a song with lyrics fitting a Lit paradigm. This does a pretty good job.

Version of Me, Delilah Montagu
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wema_tYrK34

I never really told the truth to anyone/and the reasons why I tend to disappear
But lately it's been harder to hide/behind this picture of me
But as times go by/ I realize it's too much for to carry

Don't have the words/ But I need to talk about it (I know I do, I know I do)
Don't have the words/ But I keep thinking about it (it's all I do, it's all I do)

Cos I'm tired of this make believe/and I'm running out of things to be
But I know d' only thing that you see/ is a made up version of me
I'm so tired of this make believe / and I'm running out of things to be
But I know d' only thing that you see/ is a made up version of me
