ExiledInIllinois Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 20 minutes late.... Lol Dammit! Tom again too! And I was gonna quote Muskrat Love. Lesson to all the kids out there: Stick w/your first choice!
DC Tom Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) That's more than one line... Some people... Do you understand the concept of "a line"? It didn't feel right without a "Hey Mickey" at the end. Dammit! Tom again too! And I was gonna quote Muskrat Love. Lesson to all the kids out there: Stick w/your first choice! I was holding Muskrat Love in reserve. Twisted minds think alike. This one's for Tom. Seven a.m. waking up in the morning !@#$ you. Edited September 12, 2014 by DC Tom

The Dean Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hello one and all, was it you I used to know? Felonius my old friend, step on in and let me take your hand A world become one of salads and sun. Only a fool would say that Your everlasting summer, you can see it fading fast I hear you are singing a song of the past Any news was good news and the feeling was bad at home Who are these children who scheme and run wild? It's a beggars life said the Queen of Spain, but don't tell it to a poor man I never seen you looking so bad my funky one Savoy Sides presents a new saxophone sensation Rose darling come to me, Snake Mary's gone to bed Kids if you want some fun, Mr LaPage is your man Lost in the Barrio, I run like an Injun, so Carlo won't suspect something's wrong here While the music played you worked by candlelight Cold. Daring. No flies on me Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said And they wandered in from the city of St John without a dime Down at the Lido they welcome you, with sausage and beer In the corner of my eye, I saw you in Rudy's you were very high Up on the hill, people never stare. They just don't care This is the day of the expanding man Hurry the bottle mama, it's grapefruit wine Drive west on Sunset to the sea Way back in 'sixty seven, I was the dandy of Gamma Chi The wind was driving in my face. The smell of prickly pear Johnny's playroom is a bunker filled with sand One plush summer you came to me ripe and ready I was grinding at my day gig, stackin' cutouts at the Strand Bad news breaking in 18A, Missy's kitty turned inside out she say It must have been my lucky Thursday, your daddy went on that spree Teddy's rolling now most every night I'm working on Gospel time these days Attention all shoppers, it's cancellation day In the beginning we could hang with the dude My coat is black and the moon is yellow, here is where I get off Our man Abu squeezes off twenty tracer rounds, and that's where she jumps the turnstile It's high time for a walk on the real side -Fagen and Becker
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Okay... Gotta go deep! Video included: Would ya? Of course if it was 1967... "It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day..." I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet" And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" "Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas "Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please" "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? "I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right" "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge" And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" "And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge" A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge Edited September 12, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 ???? Edited... "Board performance issue"... Didn't mean to get you all riled Deano... Too quick on the draw!
DC Tom Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hmmm.... So you're saying sometimes you cannot just keep it to one line.... Interesting... Hahahaha The scansion of "Mickey" is trochaic octameter. As such, the first "Hey" is the unstressed syllable of the eighth foot, thus the end of the first line of the verse. But to write it that way - "Oh, Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey" - makes absolutely no !@#$ing sense whatsoever (ignoring for the moment the fact that the song makes no !@#$ing sense whatsoever). So I could either drop the "Hey" and present "Oh, Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind," which is not the complete line. Or add the first "Hey Mickey!" and present the complete line, plus. I chose the latter. Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine," by the way? Alternating trochaic pentameter and octameter, which is actually a quite elegant verse structure. "So there, mother!@#$er" is a trochaic tetrameter, if you're wondering.

We'd have been in the SB in no time!
The Dean Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Edited... "Board performance issue"... Didn't mean to get you all riled Deano... Too quick on the draw! Sure, blame the board. I guess it's better than blaming Jay.
