OW! "Half-Breed"! So there.

[speedy]

Ewww -- okay, I'll throw in a moderately-warped cassette that features "Don't Cry Out Loud" by Melissa Manchester. Just keep it inside, and learn how to hide your feelings. Fly high and proud, and if you should fall, remember you almost -- had it -- ALLL!!!

[speedy]

Yes -- and do you know what did Mrs. Sip? Or what you do when you catch a falling star?

[renosathug]

Well he never said, but its gotta be "P"

and you put it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day.

[speedy]

Hmm, I thought the answer to the question "What did Mrs. Sip boys, what did Mrs. Sip" was "She sipped a Minnesota." But Perry is a bit before my time so I'm floundering a little. I do know "Come along with me -- I'm on my way to the stars"

[Marauder]

Anyone who's raised a kid and sent him/her to any kind of church camp will recognize, "Found a peanut, found a peanut ..."
That song alone may account for any number of nervous breakdowns.

[Charles Henrickson]

Remember David Gates' solo effort, "Clouds"? "See the clouds adrift so far below...."

No. I've looked at "Clouds" from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow, it's "Cloud Illusions" I recall. I really don't know "Clouds" at all.

[BubbaBasher]

Now for the really obscure:
My mama thought she loved me cause she told me how to live,
But I just couldn't listen cause my head was like a sieve.
duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh, duh

[renosathug]

You are right, of course.

[speedy]

You've got me there, BB. Sounds like some lines that were cut out of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone."

[Charles Henrickson]

Anyone who's raised a kid and sent him/her to any kind of church camp. . . . That song alone may account for any number of nervous breakdowns.

These are the dreams of the everyday housewife.

"You don't send me cheesecake ... any ... moorrrrrre."

As long as we don't drift into "Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning" etc. -- Brings back bad memories of a certain administration that necessitated the birth of this website.

[speedy]

"Enough is enough is enough is enough"

[speedy]

"Where's the playground, Susie?"

[BubbaBasher]

First hint: It was a song from a film instead of the radio.

[CounterCounterCulture]

When I saw the title, I figured it was referring to the song by Michael Jackson, "You are not alone."

Yes, I remember that song. I think he took that "Man In The Mirror" song too serious...I'm talking 'bout the man in the mirror...I'm asking him to change his ways...make that change...it's gonna feel real good...make that change...

Anyhoo, regarding the title of the thread,
I was reminded of "You're Not Alone" by Olive from a few years ago. Probably not heard by many here.

In a way it's all,
A matter of time,
I will not worry for you,
You'll be just fine.

Take my thoughts with you,
And when you look behind,
You will surely see a face that you recognize.

Chorus:
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time,
Open your mind, surely it's plain to see,
You're not alone, I'll wait till the end of time for you,
Open your mind, surely there's time to be with me...


It is the distance,
that makes life a little hard,
Two minds that once were close,
Now so many miles apart,

I will not falter though,
I'll hold on 'till you're home,
Safely back where you belong,
And see how our love has grown.

Chorus:
You're not alone

Please forgive me...

North side
east side
little Willy

Willy wears the crown
he's the king around town.
Dancing
glancing
Willy drives them silly
with his star shoe
shimmy shuffle down.

'Way past one
and feeling alright
'cos when little Willy's round they can last all night.
Lay down
stay down
stay down
down.

'Cos little Willy
Willy won't go home
but can't push Willy round
Willy won't go;
try tellin' ev'rybody

but
oh
no
little Willy
Willy won't go home.

Up town
down town
little Willy
Willy drives them wild with his runaround style.
Inside
outside
Willy sends them silly
with his starshine
shimmy shuffle smile.

Mama done chase
Willy down thru' the hall

but laugh Willy laugh
he don't care at all.
Lay down
stay down
stay down
down.

'Cos little Willy...

Little Willy
Willy won't
Willy won't

Willy won't
little Willy
Willy won't

Willy won't
Willy won't.

"Enough is enough is enough."

It sure is! I remember that, too, a duet with Donna Summer, I believe. Good dance song, back when I was doing that. :-)

Ring My Bell. (byoooo..... byoooooo....)
