Sing...Sing a Song....

[Madame Pandora]

Dunno if anyone's ever tried a thread like this before, but I am feeling kinda whimsical...which can only lead to dancing...and, possibly...humming.

Anyone wanna hum with me?

I'm agonna post the first verse of a song, if you know the next verse, post it, then another person can post the next verse...and so on...

When we get to the last verse, someone go ahead and post the first verse of a new song...

The only song I can think to start off with is....

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile...

 

[CreamyLady]

And I knew if I had a chance
I could make the people dance
And maybe we'd be happy for awhile . . .

I think.

 

[SpecialK]

Let this be correct...


And I knew that if I had my chance,
I could make those people dance.
And maybe, they'd be happy...
For awhile.


The interesting thing about this song, you love and hate it at the same time. And if you just hate it, you still know all the words and sing along.

You picked the longest song ever recorded to start this one off with? *LOL*

but February made me shiver with every paper I
delivered,
bad news on the door step,
I couldn't take one more step,

 

[jcgirl]

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

 

[Jade]

I hope this is right... it's been awhile since my analysis of this in high school...

"I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride.

But something touched me deep inside the day the music died. "




(The next line should be REALLY easy....)

 

[Jade]

@##$% I hate it when that happens

 

[Expertise]

And they were singin'......

 

[SpecialK]

No, no, no! lol!

It's not 'And they were singin' yet. That comes later.

It's

"So...
Bye, bye Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry."

K

 

[Thumper]

"Girls, Girls Girls...

*whoops*

 

[jcgirl]

Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that I die.
"This'll be the day that I die."

 

[Expertise]

*&*&%&^$^%$#%@

DAMN IT!!!!

This is why I don't do karaoke.

 

[Dillinger]

Did you write the book of love
and do you have faith in God above, if the
bible tells you so,
and do you believe in rock n' roll,

 

[SpecialK]

There, there Expertise. We know you mean well. The good thing about Karaoke is that they have the words written for you to read if you need them.


Can music heal your (mortal?) soul


Uh... Can't remember what comes next.

(Incidentally, this song is now permanently etched in my brain for the remainder of the day!)

K

 

[Dillinger]

can music save your mortal soul and
can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well I know that you're in love with him cuz I
saw you dancing
in the gym you both kicked off your shoes
and I dig those rhythm and blues.

 

[Expertise]

I was a loney teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

 

[Dillinger]

but I knew I was out of luck, the day, the
music, died. I started singing.

 

[Expertise]

(chorus)LOL

 

[Pyper]

You bastards. Now you made me have to go download this song because it's stuck in my head and it will be until I listen to it and it's going to take up a whole bunch of room on my hard drive. >=P

::stomps off::

 

[Expertise]

I could give you the page of the site i've been referring to. *GASP*

It is an examination of how Don MacLean was actually foreshadowing the Challenger Disaster...... somebody with way way too much time on their hands.

 

[Dillinger]

Now for ten years we've been on our own and
moss grows fat on a rollin stone but that's not
how it used to be,
when the jester sang for the king and queen in
a coat he borrowed from James Dean
and a voice that came from you and me,

 

[April]

And while the king was looking down,
the jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned,
no verdict was returned.

 

[Jade]

And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park and we sang dirges (sp?) in the dark the day the music died... we were singin'....


(All this singalong stuff makes me want to go camping)

 

[Madame Pandora]

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the Levy
But the levy was dry
And them good ol' boys were
Drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin this will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die.

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and fallin fast......

 

[Jade]

(and landing foul on the grass... [depending on the version])

the players tried for a forward pass witht he Jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume while sergeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance cause the players tried to take the field the marching band refused to yield do you recall what was the deal the day the music died
we started singing...
