126.0. "I just can't help it...!" by WARDER::REXLEY (Anna Stesia come to me ! ) Fri Jun 24 1988 18:22

    
    Now with all these music buffs, I imagine there are a few people
    out there who just wish an incy wincy bit that they were
    Rock/Pop/Soul/Folk performers.....and whom at the earliest oppertunity
    (generally after adequate amounts of alchahol !).....insist on
    performing their favourite song.....
    
    Well let's not hide all this hidden talent let us know...
    
    	Who you wish/try to emulate.....
    
    	What the song is................
    
        Where your favourite venue is...
        
        Why ?
    
    If there is enough response we could arrange a little gig somewhere..!

    Maurice,
    	Any chance of the words (don't believe there's a copyright..:-)).
    Maybe you can post them here or mail them to me ?

126.12A little bit of religion?GAO::MMCMULLINThu Jun 30 1988 14:3443
    
    	Dia duit Robbie,
    			I don't think the song is copyrighted (who in
    	their right mind would copyright a song like that!).
    
    	I only know two verses but I know there are more.
    
    	Verse 1.
    
    	Mary don't slip an' Mary don't slide
    	'cos her ass is magnetised
    	sitting on the dashboard of my car
    
    						(Repeat above until
    						 someone asks about
    						 the second verse)
    
    	Verse 2.
    
    	I don't care if it rains or freezes
    	'cos I got my plastic Jesus
    	sitting on the dashboard of my car
    
    						(repeat until people
    						 start getting restless
    						 and then repeat verse1)
                                                                           
    	A chorus can be constructed out of the last line of the verses
    	like this
    			Sittin' on the dashboard
    			Sittin' on the dashboard
    			Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
    			I don't care if it rains or freezes 'cos ...
    
    	This can be used when people are crying out for more.
    
    
    	If any body has any of the other verses I would be very interested.

    	Rgds,
    		Maurice.
                        
    	Ps. Doing songs like this explains my 'personal name'
