someone said that Freddie Mercury is dead (which I didn't know) so I guess a bit more Queen is in order:

So, it seems that Another One Bites the Dust as we lose celebrities left and right this year.  From the Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy to the Fat Bottomed Girls, no one can escape the icy fingers In the Death Cell.  That's what you get when you Play The Game of life.  But We Are the Champions of our own fates, The Hero to our friends and family, the dreamer who will fly In the Space Capsule someday.  So sit back and Party with The Miracle that is life, and in the end you won't have to ask "Was It All Worth It?"

I met a Missionary Man a few days ago- well The Last Time I was In This Town I guess.
I had a Thorn In My Side and he said "Lets Go I know someone who can Take Your Pain Away and all that will happen is a bit of memory loss. And if we leave now we can be there When Tomorrow Comes"
When I woke up after the thorn removal I saw him and said:
"I Remember You or A Little Of You at least."
He smiled and said "That's the Miracle Of Love".

How about Michael Jackson's Thriller Album.

After the Thriller himself told Billie Jean to Beat it paul McCartney started telling him "The Girl Is Mine" But Michael was having none of it and so challenged Paul to a fight "Wanna Be Startin' Sometin'" He yelled. And because fighting is part of Human Nature when it comes to girls like that Pretty Young Thing they did. After Michael won the fight he said To Billie Baby Be Mine but she just smiled and McCartney replied "Billie's mine and she will always be The Lady In My Life".

I thought I'd try my hand at some Fleetwood Mac...from the Mirage album:

Oh Diane...I Wish You Were Here to Hold Me so that I can gaze into the Eyes of the World.  But That's Alright, I realize that I Can't Go Back, no matter what the Book of Love may say.  As I sit Straight Back in my chair and gaze upon the Empire State, I wonder where my Gypsy has gone.  There would be new Love In Store for me, if I were Only Over You.

I used to know a girl named Diane...cute as a button ;)

How about a John Mellencamp story?   8)

Despite the principal's Authority Song, my friends and I decided to stuff a Cherry Bomb into the central plumbing.  We rallied the schoolfolk to "Check It Out!" as the walls and pipes came Crumblin' Down, but when the principal came, we tried so hard to remain Without Expression.  It is pretty easy to know what people are capable of in a Small Town, and we felt like Paper In Fire as we were sure we'd be caught.  Miraculously, we got off the hook, and while we Ain't Even Done With the Night, we proceeded to egg all the Pink Houses while blasting R.O.C.K. In The USA on Jack and Diane's Caddy's subwoofer :)

Downtown Life was getting interesting, as the Maneater had struck again.  This time the victim was an All American Girl.  My name is Joe and this is my partner Harry -- we're Private Eyes.  Harry and I were chiding ourselves for the Missed Opportunity we had of nailing this wacko, and we came So Close to Starting All Over Again with the case.  We had a War of Words, and were Talking All Night about possible strategies.  Then I noted the deathly Kiss On My List -- the telltale signature of the villain.  I knew who it was, and before the night ends I know the perp would feel like The Sky Is Falling upon him.

This board has been like a Rocket for me.  It's carried me to a dizzying height, I never thought attainable. If someone had told me a year ago, that I'd find such a great place, I'd have certainly thought they were Foolin'! When I first arrived...I found that Animal Love Bites....and it had sent me into a Hysteria which was Bringin' On The Heartbreak. I thought it was Too Late For Love. Then I found someone wonderful, beyond my wildest dreams. Even getting a Photograph from other Women, I know in my heart and soul that she is my one and only. I have fallen off the Rock Of Age(s) and am head over heels in love.  Now the question posed too me is "Am I finally understanding true happiness" to which I reply..."Armegeddon It, oh yes, Armegeddon It!"

I hope this little story touches the Heart of Rock n' Roll fan. Some of my lies are true, but this story is 100% fact. You see, it's a Blue Monday 'cause it's been raining outside. It's Trouble In Paradise, because it's not supposed to be cold and rainy in Florida, but I'll Stop Trying to think that this is a Perfect World. Let me ask you this: Do You Believe In Love? I gotta tell you, it Hit Me Like A Hammer when I saw my lady for the first time. Let me take you Back In Time and tell you about the Power Of Love. When I first asked her out, I knew She's Some Kind Of Wonderful, and I was happy that she wanted to be with me even though I Ain't Perfect. I was so head over heels for her, I took a Couple Days Off just to be with her. I got in trouble, and eventually lost my job, But It's Alright as long as I have my Little Bittie Pretty One. Now, I'm Workin' For A Livin' and Doin' It All For My Baby, because she loves me with all her Heart and Soul.  And finally, I said to myself If This Is It...I don't Want A New Drug. Then, I went up to her and said "I Want You to be with me for the rest of my life". She said, "What about all the other girls?" I said, "Who Cares?" And the rest is history. Now, I'm happy to say to her every night that "I'm Happy To Be Stuck WIth You." I've been stuck with her for 7 years...and I hope tobe stuck with her 70 more!

How's that?  ;D

I felt as if I were Walking On The Moon after I had met Roxanne. We were like two kindred Spirits In The Material World who had survived the Fallout. As the  Invisible Sun began to tear us apart, she cried out "I Can't Stand Losing You" and suddenly I was Driven To Tears. I tried to scream the Bombs Away as we prepared to Bring On The Night. To comfort her I softly sang De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da while she cried..."This Beds Too Big Without You." I felt like a Man In A Suitcase and asked her "Please Don't Stand So Close To Me because Every Breath You Take makes me feel like I'm a Canary in a Coalmine." Now don't get me wrong...I love her so much and feel that "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and I often tell her "Sweetheart, I am definatly Wrapped Around Your Finger and we are so close that I sometimes feel like I'm "Walking In Your Footsteps." The Voices In My Head were soon telling me When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around. Soon things quieted down though, and we were left quietly standing there...just two Shadows in the Rain. She told me "I love being Next To You." It was at that moment I showed her the Message In A Bottle that I'd written while she slept. I had felt as if I were the King of Pain with a Hole In My Life but then I had met her and I realized that sooner or later the Truth Hits Everybody , so off we headed for some Tea in the Sahara after finding out great news....our fellow board member Syncronos informed us that his lovely wife had just given birth to twins, and they named them Synchronicity I and Synchronicity II

"I'm a Fool For Your Stockings" "Have Mercy", she harped back. "Keep away from my Tush. I'm one of those Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers. You wouldn't want me Lowdown On The Street." "But I'm a Rough Boy darlin. Let me undo my Velcro Fly." Then she kick me out of the car Goin' Down To Mexico. Man, that Hi-Fi Mama don't Doubleback to anyone.
