Song lyric stuck in my head...

[Lady Nicolette]

Me, I loved Judd Nelson in that film.  We're having 80's day at work next Friday.  I'm going to get out my mousse and diffuser, really dark eyeshadow, anklets and a long shirt, belted, over tights.  There were so many great 80's songs, loved the harkening back to Motown with the Eurythmics, Culture Club and the alt-rock with the obscure vocalizations and jangly guitars of REM. 

Don't Go Back To Rockville ~ REM

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for the bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

(chorus)
Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care that you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring *me back

(repeat chorus)

It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring *me down and
That's not how it ought to be
Well I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

[Dance_Dance]

From Disney's The Little Mermaid, the song "Under the Sea."

Only one line.

"Under the sea!"

Over

"Under the sea!"

and over

"Under the sea!"

and over.

"Under the sea!"

Like spilt ends and taxes, it always come -

"Under the sea!"

AUGH!!!

[Welsh Wench]

Hey, Demetrius--woke up with this song playing in my mind....



Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

~~The Beatle, Rocky Raccoon

My kids knew every word to this song by the time they were four years old. My granddaughter would burst out crying everytime this song came on and I asked her why. She sobbed, 'Because Rocky got hit in the eye!'

[eloquentXI]

Been hearing this song a lot lately...

Shinedown- Second Chance

My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today

Well, I just saw hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today

Well, I just saw hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Heres my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
Is a second chance

Sorry I'm late to the 80's party, but, to me, this was always the ultimate "teenager in the 80's" song.

Enjoy

Hey Welsh Wench- that reminds me of this one... 

I was so young when I was born
My eyes could not yet see
And by the time of my first dawn
Somebody holding me . . . they said

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring such joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true

While growing up or trying to
Not knowing where to start
I looked around for someone who
May help reveal my heart - someone said

While you're a part of Crackerbox Palace
Do what the rest all do
Or face the fact that Crackerbox Palace
May have no other choice than to deport you

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring us joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true

Sometimes are good . . . sometimes are bad
That's all a part of life
And standing in between them all
I met a Mr. Grief - and he said

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
Was not expecting you
Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace
Know that the Lord is well and inside of you

-George Harrison

[Welsh Wench]

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a license for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

Take me back home
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Come on

It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

A holiday, a holiday, and the first one of the year,
Little Matty Groves came to the church, the gospel for to hear.
And then came in Lord Donald's wife and she never looked so fine,
And as she caught Little Matty's eye, she fair could read his mind.
The parson he was long of tooth and longer in the wind
As he preached of virtues chaste and dull and wages had from sin.
And when the sermon it was done the lady looked about,
And again she saw Little Matty Groves walking in the crowd.


"Come home with me Little Matty Groves, come home with me tonight.
Come home with me Little Matty Groves and lay with me till light."
"Oh I can't go home, I won't go home and lay with you tonight.
By the rings on your fingers I can tell, you are Lord Donald's wife."
"Well may I be Lord Donald's wife, but Lord Donald's not at home.
He is gone in the far cornfields and has left me all alone."
And a servant who was standing by and hearing what was said,
He swore Lord Donald he would know before the sun would set.
And in his haste to tell the tale he rent his breast and ran.
And when he came to the broad mill stream he took off his shoes and swam.


"Lord Donald, sir, I chanced to hear your lady on this day.
She's bedded down with Matty Groves while you a far away."
Lord Donald called his servants by, "Fetch to me my horse!
If you speak the truth great reward you'll have, if lies it'll be the worse."


Little Matty Groves he laid down to take a little sleep.
When he awoke Lord Donald was standing at his feet
Saying, "How do you like my feather bed? How do you like my sheets?
How do you like my lady chaste who lies in your arms asleep?"
"Oh well I like your feather bed and well I like your sheets.
But better I like your lady gay who lies in my arms asleep."
"Get up, get up!" Lord Donald cried, "Get up as quick as you can.
For it won't be said in fair England that I slew a naked man."
"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up. I can't get up for my life.
For you have two long beaten swords and I not a pocket knife."
"Well it's true I have two beaten swords and they cost me deep in the purse.
But you will have the better of them and I will have the worse."
"And you will strike the very first blow and strike it like a man.
And I will strike the very next blow and I'll kill you if I can."


So Matty struck the very first blow and he hurt Lord Donald sore.
Lord Donald struck the very next blow and Matty struck no more.
And then Lord Donald took his wife and set her on his knee,
Saying, "Who do you love the best of us, Matty Groves or me?"
And then up spoke his own sweet wife, never heard to speak so free,
"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips than you and your finery."
Then Lord Donald he jumped up and loudly he did bawl.
He struck his wife right through the heart and pinned her 'gainst the wall.
"A grave, a grave" Lord Donald cried, "to put these lovers in.
But bury my lady at the top for she was of noble kin."

Horrible, horrible lyric in my head right now:

Shoulda gone to freecreditreport.com
I coulda seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb...

[Eric the Ugly]

"We've come so far to watch it fall apart
Shattered dreams fall piece by piece
There's nothing more

We've come so far to watch it fall apart
The rift has grown and split the seams
There's nothing more..."
