1036.5Why chant at all????GRANPA::FBENJAMINBlackness is a state of MindFri Sep 13 1991 17:468
    Three questions:
    
    1) Yes, why are you shouting?
    
    2) Why are you supposed to chant?
    
    3) Is this for every bar or just some bars or what?

do you ever get the feeling that you are OUT of it?  I didn't even KNOW 
there was a chant for this song...and, to be honest, I didn't know Billy
Idol had anything to do with this song...wasn't it Tommy someone back 20
years ago?

	Urf!  I suddenly feel my age....back to my Rolling Stones music....

There is a very crude chant to this song, one which I learned six years
ago in college.  I'm certainly not entering it here because it is rude 
and offensive and immature.

    "Boy, am I glad I'm not singing that chant, or I'd be being
     called a cheap woman too!"

    I won't enter the real chant here.  However when I was in
    school, people suddenly became aware of aids and the chant
    changed for a bit.  The chant changed to : "get laid get aids".
    The last word was quite rude in the original.  However, I
    like the more updated chant.  We used to chant it at frat
    parties.  Didn't have any problems with unwanted advances
    after that!  I'd suggest chanting that loudly at the bar and
    see what people say.  (just for giggles)

    Geeze, I never tried to figure it out, I just kept dancing. I guess
    I thought it was just that stupid, "Less filling, tastes great"
    chant. :*) Whodda' known!?!  So what *IS* it?

    I know it.
    
    No, I won't put it in here (since just about every word in it will get
    it deleted forthwith).
    
    Don't you know, those are the lyrics of the devil?  Shame on you.....

1036.17FROM THE NASHUA TELEGRAPHEN::DROWNSthis has been a recordingWed Sep 25 1991 12:4327
Tommy James and the Shondells never sang them in their original version of
their 1960's hit song "Mony, Mony."

But that didn't stop Mastricola Middle School students from including
suggestive lyrics in their rendition, which has some parents wincing
when the song is played at school dances.

According to Chris Broyer, a parent, the students sing the original
"You make me feel mony mony." Then they add their own lyrics: "You
make me feel (expletive) horny."

She told the School Board she attended on middle school dance last spring
when the students added the refrain and another ad-libbed line.

"I personally stormed the staged at one dance and demanded the song
be stopped," she said.

Then she discovered the song was played again at parent and teachers 
group dance she was unable to attend.

"This behavior is unacceptable and cannot be ignored from our children,"
she told the board.

School Board Chairman William Cote thanked Broyer for her statement and added
that his daughter had been at the dance also.

    Well, I certainly have the prurient interest to want to know what the
    words are now (since I didn't even know there was a chant).
    
    Tell me please Kath?
