I have now remembered how much I used to enjoy Rainbow's "Long Live Rock and Roll" at the skool disco (but then that had <b>positive, life-afirming lyrics</b>.)<br /><br />Bananas, I dunno, I guess it must be a great feeling, and maybe it does the job for both reasons.<br /><br />Hi Scarley, yes, please don't, this was just a bit of a laugh - like I say, many of my best friends...<br /><br />Gyppo, good point, advocating hard drug use is no better (actually probably much worse) than suggesting over-theatrically that death is really good idea. I should remember that next time I listen to Hendrix :-) Similarly, there was "The Only Way Is Up" by Yazz, but after that we never heard from her again, so it wasn't entirely true.<br /><br />Gaw, I knew the word 'greeboes' from the early 80s when it meant leahter=clad bikers and the like, but web dictories indicate that it's denotation has broadened somewhat.<br /><br />The Jules, yeh, count me in, I can do 5 minute solos on me electric bassoon!<br /><br />Kevin, I'm as unsure as you are about the ways of the young these days, so it would probably be the blind leading the blind.<br /><br />Ana, Blue Metal? I dunno, does it already exist as a genre, and with 'blue' meaning 'porn' or 'a bit sad'?? We must know! Jazz is also asking for it, and I'm going to have to do it now as I promised.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-10632936940864199432009-10-20T16:36:53.942-07:002009-10-20T16:36:53.942-07:00"basically embittered folk singers with a cra..."basically embittered folk singers with a crate of Jack Daniels" -- you are hilarious!

Without wishing to detract anything from your excellent ideas, I would humbly propose that the lyric law be extended to all forms of popular music. I recall, for instance, a disco lyric which included the line "Every night is a Saturday night", which we should legislate to be changed to "One night in seven is a Saturday night". I rest m'case. The song "I can fly" should be changed to "I can jump up and down waving my arms around and giggling when off my face on illegal substances", while "I am the walrus" should be changed to "I have failed to shave my upper lip for a couple of weeks, and I'm off my face on illegal substances so it's probably better if I shut the **** up and go and lie down for a bit."Gyppo Byardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823690986571629011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-74003650043104459832009-10-20T01:34:20.697-07:002009-10-20T01:34:20.697-07:00Don't fret
