They should have included a copy of "Final Exit" in the liner notes of that song ;)

Puff the Magic Dragon still makes me cry!

Are we going country now? As I've got to log off soon, I'll lead off with the saddest, twangiest, most country of all country songs from that era. Here goes, ladies! This is the ultimate cry-in-your-beer song:

He said "I'll love you till I die",
she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by,
she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall,
went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all,
hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red
every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today,
oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time
I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know,
she came to see him one last time.
Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would.
And it kept runnin' through my mind
"this time he's over her for good."

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Supposedly it was a song about Pot. I was too young to get the connection, but I did spend the next few years in a daze from that damned Mary Jane. That and 13 years of Publik Edukation and I weren't been right since!

OPH-can I sue? :)

[terilyn]

LOL! Sure can tell the Brady Boomers around here :)

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

.....(could we dedicate this one to all those who've left FR for greener pastures?)

Have you got a hankie, please? ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!

[terilyn]

LOL! Did you flip your hair while posting that?

[strela]

Thanks heaps. I'll now go slash my wrists ;)

[terilyn]

That's him! *Sigh*

[terilyn]

Don't forget Harold and Maude!

Marcia Marcia Marcia!

[lodwick]

I've not met you - but, my goodness did you have to do the Honey tree thing? ;-)

Nice recall. I'd blocked it out.

[lodwick]

I've seen you today on the thread, and we haven't met, but you are spot on with the greatest country song of all time.

Old Possum nailed it with this one. Thanks. JL

Hello baby,
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speaking
Ha ha ha ha ha,
Oh you sweet thing
Do I what?
Will I what?
Oh baby
You know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a hangin down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothin in the world
Like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose
Like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby
That's what I like

What's that baby,
But, but, but
Ohhhhhh honey
But...oh baby
You know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a hangin down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothin in the world
Like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose
Like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby
That's what I like

What's that honey
Pick you up at 8
And don't be late
But baby,
I ain't got no money honey
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh alright baby,
You know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a hangin down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothin in the world
Like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose
Like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby
That's what I like

"It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd"

[wimpycat]

That song is a tie, along with this one, for the saddest country music song of all time: (Pleased to meetcha, BTW)

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be,
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed,
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize,
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I heard it slam one hundred times before,
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
Oh Ruby, please don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around

[WIMom]

Oh Brad

Reg certainly isn't a bad human being, by any means..........but yeah, he DEFINITELY crossed the line.......and with a good friend of mine, at that. I only recently learned of it and sure as hell didn't appreciate what he did, and I LIKE the guy.

But hell..........who among us who've any time here haven't done or said something we wish we could take back? I choose to believe that, given a chance for a "do over", that Reg wouldn't even consider doing such a bone-headed thing again.

I liked his creative artwork. He has one helluva sense of humor......and irony. That adds a lot to the Forum.

He also owes a certain lady from NC one hell of an apology. A man can do that..............
