This is too old for some of you but given what's going on in the river right now, I'll bet it stays in your head for a while.

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin you here today?
To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye?

Just when you thought you'd safely buried this deep into the recesses of your brain, never to appear again:
Bwahahahahahah

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
but they did it with expert timing

They were funky chinamen (imagine if Don Imus said that)
from funky chinatown
They were chopping them up
and they were chopping them down
From a feint into a slip and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung fu fighting...

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chong
He said here comes the big boss,
Let's get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip
And now we're into a brand new trip

Everybody was kung fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing.

I'm always drunk in San Francisco
I always stay out of my mind
But if you've been to San Francisco
they say that things like this go on all the time

It never happens nowhere else
maybe it's the air
Can't really seem to help myself
And, what's more, I don't care

I'm always drunk in San Francisco
I'm never feeling any pain
But tell me, why does San Francisco
just like a lover's kiss, go straight to my brain?

I guess it's just the mood I'm in
that acts like alcohol
Because I'm drunk in San Francisco
and I don't drink at all

By Tommy Wolf - best sung by Carmen McRae

I'll lay down some covering fire of Cher while you get yourself to safety!!

I was born in the wagon of a traveling show
Momma used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
preach a little gospel
sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good

Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We hear it from the people in the town they call us:
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves.
But every night all the men would come around,
and lay their money down.

Apropos for Folsom:

Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz?

Heres an oldy I haven't heard forever. It was in my head on the way into work this morning so I looked up the lyrics on line.





HOT TOWN SUMMER IN THE CITY

GO OUT AND FIND A GIRL
COME ON, COME ON AND DANCE ALL NIGHT
DESPITE THE HEAT IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

IN THE SUMMER IN THE CITY
IN THE SUMMER IN THE CITY

COOL TOWN, EVENING IN THE CITY

BUT AT NIGHT IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD
GO OUT AND FIND A GIRL
COME ON, COME ON LETS DANCE ALL NIGHT
DESPITE THE HEAT IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
AND BABE, DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S A PITY

Here's a song I had to sing in choir once upon a long time ago. Oh, how I think Bette Midler has a pretty voice.





Oh, oh, oh, oh -
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So i was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything i would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But i've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know i know the truth, of course i know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything i wish i could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did i ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything i wish i could be.
Oh, and i, i could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. you let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
So high i almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank god for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Now close your eyes, free your mind and imagine my off-key singing of these immortal lines:

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'a-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without
Your lovin and affection
Givin me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through the darkest hour

Lately I'm a prayin
That you'll always be a-stayin beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm-a prayin
That you'll always be a-stayin beside me.

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you
Oh it took so long to find you baby

Baby I'm-a want you
Baby I'm-a need you

I dove into the nearest fox hole...oh the carnage! Boys not much older than my sons...broken...and the busted CD cases strewn about.....no one should have to witness this in their lifetime I huddled in a corner and hummed Nickelback and some Daughtry to make it thru until sunrise.................

Here's the song in my head on the way into work this morning. And nope I didn't have the radio on.



We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

The Death Star has cleared the planet
You may fire when ready
COMMENCE PRIMARY IGNITION

My friend the witchdoctor he told me what to say
My friend the witchdoctor he told me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you:

Ooh eeh ooh ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang
Ooh eeh ooh ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang

You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself a guy who's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart.
