Thanks Kris, that makes more sense.

Consider me enlightened, ’cause you know I are a liar.

Re the Doors

I believe the lyrics are

“I see your AIR is burning
Hills are filled with fire”

Referencing the Malibu fire. (Well one of the many – but there was a huge one that burned to the sea. As an LA resident – yes – from below the pallasides- it can look like the air is burning ) The love mentioned to is the love of the city/region.

Not great lyrics, but they do make sense.

Dude, go back and listen to “I’d Love to Change the World” again and kindly consider that this is satire. Really. Yeah, I know, you don’t expect it, but there it is.

Insert tongue into cheek and keep in mind the purpose of any TYA song is to frame a brilliant guitar solo and it all snaps into focus.

I like SM too. In fact, even when I mock the bands, I like most of them. It’s like appreciating John Cusack as Lloyd Dobbler but hating him as Sean Penn redux.

Jungle love, it’s driving me crazy.

He also used “time” to rhyme with “time”.

(Lovey dovey all the time.
Ooh wee babe I’ll sure show you a good time.)

Hey Cranky…something else stupid I just noticed about The Joker…

Miller chose the word “love” to rhyme with “love”.

And yet…I still dig the Steve Miller Band

You mean Mellencamp’s R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. isn’t original?

Damn Yiddish…

Cranky, good luck with Pompitous. I don’t think you’ll find anything.

Life is a Rock came from 1974 or so…I remember us in grade school trying to figure out the lyrics.

Anyone remember this ‘lil gem from your “cutting-edge, Nu-Wave” daze?!

DROP YOUR PANTS

Don’t leave me for another
You’ve got no pride to live with mother
Don’t take your fruit from my basket
Your peaches and pleasin’ are always in season
I see you giving girls the eye
You taste the goods before you buy
You trick or treat beneath the sheet
It’s head to toe between my feet

So drop your pants around your ankles
You make me shiver when you deliver
(x4)

Drop, drop, drop

You hold the key, please unlock it
Don’t pull your plug from my socket
I am the woman to your man
It’s you that opens my tin can
I give the orders around this house
I’m the ***** to your mouse
Your sense of timing is uncanny
You play the samba on my fanny

So drop your pants around your ankles
You make me shiver when you deliver
(x4)

Drop, drop, drop

Find the pit stop time to rest
Place your face down on my breast
Forget our shame, no need to blame
I am the fire, you are the flame
I love your lust, I am desire
Your fingers make me vibrate higher
It’s magic when you come and go
I levitate in the afterglow

So drop your pants around your ankles
You make me shiver when you deliver
(x4)

I dunno Nigel, the Reunion song was new, but I liked it. Does that make me stupid too?

Off to research “Pompitus”…
