Hey rose, you've left out You're my Best Friend...or does that not belong to a PFer ?
I was going to give it to woolie :smile:, but he already had a song. I guess heman can have Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I don't know all of their songs yet, and the other ones I know don't really fit anyone. Though Another One Bites the Dust does kind of remind me of TD...

It's on your energy level. :wink:

I don't think I know any Bob Dylan songs. I'll have to check out some of those now - the lyrics are interesting.

I hate to disagree with you, Rosie, but I would have chosen 'Killer Queen' for Arildno and 'Born to Be Bad' for Evo.
:smile: Okay, that works too.
I'm afraid that the only Queen songs that I know are ones that made it to top 40, so I haven't even heard of the one that you assigned to me. Going by the title alone, it seems appropriate. I really should start accumulating their music, because I've loved everything of theirs that I've heard.
Yeah, I love them. I really wish they were still making music. :frown:
Since I don't know much about you, I go by your username and assign to you 'The Rose' by Bette Midler. I somehow suspect that even if I knew you on a more personal basis that would still be my choice.
A girly song?!

That is a situation that must be rectified, and shortly

I'll have to check out some of those now - the lyrics are interesting.

Some are about the best you'll ever find in a popular song, rivaling the literary depth of postmodern poetry.

The song I picked for you was originally written for his wife at the time, who had been a model for Playboy and married previously to a magazine photographer. The lyrics chronicle the high-society men courting while the singer sits back with his meager gifts wondering if it is even worth it. Basically, it's his way of saying 'look, all these guys are just lusting after you superficially, but I can offer you something deeper.' To himself, he wonders if he has any chance, and he asks her if he should simply give up and leave or if she thinks it might be worth it if he were to wait for her.

I thought it was about analagous to what a man would experience if he were honestly in love with you. Only instead of having to wait out the courtships of men only superficially lusting after you, he would have to wait out whatever is keeping you occupied and away from men at the moment. Can't get it perfect, right? But close enough.

By the way, I think the best match is with Alexandra and Blowin' in the Wind. Just change every instance of "Blowin' in the Wind" to "Marxist socialism" and you have a perfect fit:

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Is there anyone album I should start with? BTW, I have heard Blowin' in the Wind - and probably some others that I just don't recognize by their titles.

Yes, that sounds appropriate. The right person wouldn't have to wait completely, just not interfere. Well, that sounds colder than I mean it to be.
I thought of a few songs for you, but they didn't quite work. And I wanted a good reason in case you challenged my selection. :biggrin:

Would I wish that there was some reality in the Weather Girls' classic claim.. :cry:
For those not remembering that claim, click on song no. 1 on this link.

For an exotic voice-over by health-guru Governor Arnie, click on 7.
(There's a free 30-second sample to listen to on each "song")

I was going to post last night and say that my song for HonestRoseWater is Constant Craving by k.d. Lang. But then I logged off and went out to do some shopping. I was in the drug store and just as I was about to leave, that very song came on. :bugeye:

My choice for Wolram has to be the http://timcurry.lyrics-online.net/TheZucchiniSong.html by Tim Curry. Because it's very proper but also very naughty. :blushing:

For LoseYourName, it's got to be Horse With No Name, and for Ivan - Surfing with the Alien. Ticket to Ride reminds me of Gale and Dog and Butterfly reminds me of Hypatia. One Night in Bangkok reminds me of Chronos (he's a formidable chess player). I think She Blinded Me With Science works for quite a few women on this board! Evo gets I Need A Lover Who Won't Drive Me Crazy (after the win a date with Evo thread). :biggrin:

No, it's not working for some reason, and I'm too tired to figure out why just now. I'm sure it's funny though. There are some hilarious prank calls by Arnie out there too.

I really like that Zucchini Song. I would see the movie, but Tim Curry in patent leather just scares me too much.

I watched some of RHPS, but it was so weird, i couldn't make head nor tail of it.

Actually, The Zuchinni Song isn't from RHPS, it's from Tim Curry's guest appearance on Saturday Night Live.

You have to see it in a movie theater in order to understand its appeal. Or do fans still do that RHPS thing?

Whew, so I don't have to watch it after all. :smile:

Yes, my sister did that a few years ago. They all dressed up too. Very scary (to see my little sister dressed like that).

I used to go every weekend. I think I've seen RHPS at least 25-30 times, but some of my friend's - good heavens - they'd seen it hundreds of times! :bugeye:

I am amazed movie theaters still put up with it - it's a huge mess when the show is over. Wet toast, rice, and toilet paper (Great Scott!) everywhere. Let me see, what else was there..? oh, yes decks of cards, and I've heard of some people throwing hotdogs and ketchup, but we never did that.

Here's a http://www.rockyhorror.com/proplist.html .

Er, :rolleyes: I wouldn't. You'd look stupid. You'd probably feel more comfortable wearing a vest, briefs, garters, fishnet stockings, and arm mitts. And be sure to let them know you're a virgin.

We Will Rock You - yomamma and YDOAPS (ah, angry youth...)
We Are The Champions - Greg, chroot, and the Super Mentors!
These are the same song. Seriously! But in a fitting way maybe the first group are the wannabe supermentors. (Or SuperMents are still keeping alive the flame of their youth.)
