"The Final Countdown"

[The Blowhard]

We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown...

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.

[TheGameHHH]

I did it my way.

Ok, it's 2:30 AM and Heckler is singing Europe songs.

Call 911.

[fluffernutter]

GREAT! Now the song is stuck in my head. This calls for some sort of revenge...hmmm..

..and I'm not sure what the Europe or Final Countdown agenda is here but, I am going to counter your Europe with a counter strike of

WARRANT!

"Down Boys"

Some things you do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light silhouettes your thighs inside your dress
Wild child in the streets I think I see you but I really don't know (who
knows)
Goin' a million miles an hour headed out to where the down boys go

Whoa can we rewind to where we've been
ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in

Where the down boys go GO, where the down boys go GO OH OH OH
Where the down boys go, yeah, I wanna go where the down boys go

You comb your hair, put on your shades you look real cool
Your giving me the run-around you make me feel like a fool
Got alot of nerves to call me cheap even though it's true
I don't care where we go tonight Just take me along with you

Some things you do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street lights silhouette your thighs inside your dress

Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go
Where the down boys go
Where the go...

I thought this thread was going to be about the 1980 movie with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen where the USS NIMITZ goes back in time to 6 DEC 1941. :)

Anyway, you can always count on hearing Europe's "The Final Countdown" during the NBA Playoffs.

Somebody, please, stop the synth-trumpets, please!

I don't know all the words OR the tune, so the chorus is STUCK in my head. . .there's only one thing more annoying, though. . . me singing ABBA!

I counter with my theme song:

If you're all alone/ just pick up the phone/ baby I'm still free, take a chance on me . . .

Or, my alternate theme-song:

You can dance, you can fly, havin' the time of your life/ See that girl, what's her scene, look it's the dancin' queen. . .

I think Heckler quoting 80's rock is a sign of the apocalypse.

Heckler's a Raelian. Great. My new year is ruined. Is the baby cloned from Thor?

Goodbye Emil, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye Emil, it's hard to die
When all the bird's are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
I wish we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to show me right from wrong
But too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die
When all the bird's are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little kids are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Francoise, my trusted wife
Without you I'd had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times with them
But I forgave you in the end
Though your lover was my friend

Goodbye Francoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With your lovers everywhere
Just be careful, I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me joy and helped me find the sun
And every time when I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Rhinestone Cowboy
Words & Music by Larry Weiss

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

Well since this has turned into posting of bad song lyrics here's my contribution

'We built this city' 1985
(Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, Peter Wolf)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

It's just another Sunday in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold oh and we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America crawling through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on a gorgeous sunny Saturday I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic)

Don't you remember (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay the city that rocks the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city we built this city on rock an' roll


(We built we built this city) built this city (we built we built this city)

He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At William's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her
Andy Wolloe said "Hello"
And he said "Hi, what's doin', Wo?"
"Seth, sit down, I got some bad news, it's gonna hurt"
He said "I'm your best friend and you know that's right"
"But your young bride ain't home tonight"
"Since you been gone she's been seein' that Amos boy, Seth "
Well, he got mad 'n' he saw red and Andy said "Boy, don'tcha lose your head"
" 'cause to tell ya the truth, I been with her myself"

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well, Andy got scared and left the bar
Walkin' on home 'cause he didn't live far
See, Andy didn't have many friends and he'd just lost him one
Brother thought his wife musta left town
So he went home and finally found
The only thing Papa had left him, that was a gun

And he went off to Andy's house
A'skippin' through the backwoods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back-porch door
And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake

Well, the Georgia Patrol was a'makin' their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
And a big-bellied sheriff got his gun and said "why'dya do it?"
And the judge said "Guilty" in a make-believe trial
And slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Said' supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it"

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
'cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands

Well, they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
And that's one body that'll never be found
See, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia, oh-oh-aah
That's the night that they hung an innocent man, ah-huh-unh
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

FADE

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

My turn-

Coming down again, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again

Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise

Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends, coming down again

Coming down again, coming down again
On the ground again, coming down again

Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better ev'ry time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry it ain't no crime

Coming down again, coming down again
All my time's been spent, coming down again

I love the song for one reason: when Ricky Steamboat was on his path to beating Flair for his first heavyweight championship the song they used while the hyped the impending matchup was "The Final Countdown" for that one special childhood memory I will always love the song.

I will be silent. Invincible. Invisible. I am the Ghost.

[The Blowhard]

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she go mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twing

Then the first snow came
And she ran up to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came running in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me awake all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sitting there and crying
Over some sad and silly late late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring, when flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And Honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone, the angles came
Now all I have is memories of Honey

And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved
