Gentlemen, please, with all due respect, there is none better than...

"Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove..."

Robert Plant, circa 1971 Led Zepplin IV.

Eddie

Above the Clouds....
Damn, so many! here;'s one..anyone know the song..a classic from the late 60's-70's.

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine.
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night.
Any place it goes is right goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here.

"Magic Carpet Ride" - Steppenwolf

I like to dream
Yes, yes right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far
Flies near
To the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what
We could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride?

You don't know what
We could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well someone took, took the lamp away
I looked
Around
A lousy candle was all I found

Well, you don't know what
We could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride?

I've always loved the spoken intro to the Butthole Surfers' "Sweat Loaf":

Daddy?

Yes, son.

What does regret mean?

Well son, the funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you have done than
to Regret something that you haven't done

And by the way, If you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and

tell her...

SATAN SATAN SATAN!!!!

Above the Clouds....
Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool.
Got the 12 o'clock news blues.
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps and a bottle of cold brew.

Easy one ...someday an oldie!!

I understand. We all do that from time to time. I mean when you accidentally hit the wrong key on the keyboard, and type a whole different word to your "favorite" song. :mj07:

It struck me as funny......now you just strike me as sad.
