So, are you ever just singing along to a song, and then think: hang on , that would be preposterous in real life.
Like: ' and there she was, just a walking next to me, singing do wah ditty ditty dum ditty do'
Like, who would do that? And if they did, why on gods green earth would you then take them home?

Because she looked good? And looked fine?

"The Warrior" by Scandal has a lyric that has always bugged me:

"You talk, talk, talk to me.
Your eyes touch me physically"

Well, that's an "oddball" thing to say...

Marty Robbins - I think an overreaction to seeing your girlfriend in a cafe with another chap - Ach well - they'll be hanging him tonight

Possibly just sauntering in and saying Hi Flo - hello - to Flo's friend may have diffused the situation

I saw my Flo with her new love and I couldn't stand no more,
I couldn't stand no more.
I took my pistol from my hip and with a trembling hand
I took the life of pretty Flo and that good for nothin' man

I can never hear Heart’s ‘All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You’ without wanting to shout about how shagging a random hitchhiker because your boyfriend is infertile and you want a baby is really not safe, and the fact that he’s coatless and it’s raining really doesn’t make him any less likely to murder you in a motel room.

It also seems fairly unlikely even by the standards of highly emotional power ballads that, given that he was a hitchhiker (ie from somewhere else) whom she took to a motel and then ran out on in the middle of the night, that when she happened to return to the vicinity years later with her child, she ran into him AND he recognised ‘his own eyes’.

Unless he could never get another lift and just got stuck at the motel for the rest of his life...Grin

@Pluas Good point Grin

IndecentCakes · 16/02/2021 05:53

Exactly, Pluas. Also, is it really a good idea to select a fool who goes out in the rain with no coat or umbrella as the father of your baby? I envisage problems further down the track:

Darren! I told you before, take your umbrella and coat...!

'She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store'

I've been addicted to charity shops for the last 30 years and I have never once found a raspberry beret for sale in one.

Never stay in a motel that has mirrors on the ceiling and pink champagne on ice!

PuddleglumtheMarshWiggle · 16/02/2021 07:19

Has anyone ever named their son Susan in order to get him to "man up"?

LApprentiSorcier · 16/02/2021 07:34

'It's raining men ...'

Ouch, that's another 15 stone bloke who nearly took me out as he crashed to the ground.

Somethingkindaoooo · 16/02/2021 08:35

😂
Yes, if it rained men, clearing the rain gutters would be a nightmare!

How could anyone ever forget that they were a Womble?

Elvis who wrote a letter, gave it to the postman and received it back the very next day. The postman didn’t deliver it! Otherwise the addressed person would have only got it that morning then would have to write “not know at this address” on it and posted it back. You wouldn’t have got it back for 2 days at least. The timing is all wrong.

It's always been one of my all time favourite songs but do guilty feet really have no rythmn? And if he only thought of her as a 'friend' (should have known better than to cheat a friend') then she's best of without frankly.

NutsaboutFruit · 16/02/2021 09:28

In "Hey Joe", Joe confesses to the murder, says exactly why and how he did it, and helpfully explains which way he is heading to try to hide from the law.

And why doesn't John Denver know when he'll be back?
He's Leaving on a Jet Plane- surely he has a return ticket? With the date on it?

Open return? Or is that just trains? Grin

Of course you're trying. Its been vandalised.

Up the junction by Squeeze.

This morning at four fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter.

“Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms”

Between? That’s some weird crappy dancing...
