"Camp Grenada"

Another classic!!! Can't believe the thread went on this long without it!!

Supermom...because of my deep respect and admiration for you...I am going to pretend I did not see this post!

Yeah I know, but when you are 3 thousand miles from home and in some little dive where only military folks can go-you tend to accept any thing on the speakers. Plus a good bit a soju down your gullet and anything starts to sound good.

10 years later it still brings back the heady inebriated young and silly laughter of youth and misguided tunes. As well as awful morning headache.

Oh, and the best line from any song ever in the entire history of music history ever written ever, and if you don't believe it there's something seriously wrong with you?

"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die"

There are probably all sorts of serious things wrong with me....but I digress This is indeed an extremely funny line! THE funniest ever? Hmmmm....gotta wrap my mind around that one for a bit....

[D's TK]

Huh-that reminds me of the bologne song for some reason.

Also the mayonaise song.

and the cute hot dog song.

and lets not forget the kool aid song.

Oh-dear I think I forgot to go to lunch again today. Aw well.

Who would write a song about mayonnaise???? Hotdogs, bologna, and Kool-Aid, well...sure....but mayonnaise??? Hardly a song-worthy condiment IMHO...

And now, I must bid you all adieu...but not before sharing this classic (and one of my guilty pleasures)

HANSON ROCKS!!!

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one of two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on to the ones that really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

There are probably all sorts of serious things wrong with me....but I digress This is indeed an extremely funny line! THE funniest ever? Hmmmm....gotta wrap my mind around that one for a bit....

I never claimed "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" was the *funniest* lyric ever. Just that it's the *best* lyric ever. I mean, that'll chill you to the bone, right there.

The funniest line ever... wait. Let me do this in my best Casey Kasem voice *ahem*:

This next letter is from Timmy Jones in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Timmy writes:

"Dear Casey, What is the funniest lyric ever written in the whole Rock and Roll era?"
Well, Timmy. I'm glad you asked. The funniest lyric ever comes to us from British funny-man Benny Hill, from his song "Suzy". And it is as follows:

Now Suzy she came and she sat next to me,
Her complexion was just like a rose
But I couldn't help noticing a little mark
Across the bridge of her nose
She said, "That mark that you're staring at;
Why it was caused through glasses, my dear!"
I said, "Why don't you use contact lenses?"
She said, "They don't hold enough beer!!"

Well....isn't that just spicy?!!

You are right..I stand corrected

I remember watching Benny Hill on the tube when I was way to young to be doing such a thing (and I could get away with it because my mom was napping or otherwise indisposed). I don't care what anyone says about British humor.....that man was FUNNY!!!!!!

Lighten up, Francis.

Francis? Huh...

Heres a song by another guy named Francis. Francis Magalona.


Funky Monkey



Funky monkey rockabye baby on the tree tops
where the rain drops fluky like the tail of a whale,
tales from monkeys without tails
Cranky lanky he's a junkie, smoking dope until he chokes,
risky frisky
and drinkin whiskey dying young is just another hoax
Funky Monkey (kumain ng saging)
Funky Monkey (sumabit sa baging)
Fun-ky Mon-key!
Sweet riffs and and funky licks,
kanabiz and a bag of tricks
Like a fuel injected pump,
these monkeys make me wanna jump
Funky monkey rockabye baby
on the tree trops where the rain drops
Fluky like the tail of a whale,
tales from monkey's without tails
Funky monkey rockabye baby
on the treetops where the raindrops
keep fallin on my head & I said to myself,
"Have I read the books on the shelf?"
Cuz this is how we do it, real funky,
I figured if you would really wanna
know then I'm a show you how it's done gee whiz,
this is the style
run the 1/4 mile under a minute I get in it,
like the Stylistics
I'm on the case of Jimi Hendrix,
1966, my cheeks are full of lipstick
Wipe it off with a soft tissue paper I wanna be great,
no rephrase that
I wanna be greater! Like the tail of the whale,
tales from monkeys w/out tails
Funky monkey, a funky junkie,
risky frisky and drinkin whiskey keep
smokin on dope until he chokes,
because dyin young is just another hoax
