I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again.

Hello This Is Joannie - I won that in a jive off at my cousins wedding C1978

Not many lyric's made a lot of sense when Richard Harris first recorded MacArthur Park when it was written in 1968, we where all off our heads on love & peace and other stuff !! great times indeed well of those that I can remember anyway.

At least you're not poor Delilah. She chose a wrong 'un.

motherinferior · 08/02/2015 16:50

And why, why, why did she do that?

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 16:50

Delilah, he was a red flag all round. Bridge over troubled water, there were only two of them, laying around in water would have brought on the flu. Were they Moses and able to walk on it too maybe. Who did the laying down?..

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 16:51

..i always wanted to know what Meatloaf wouldnt do for love too? Its a mystery.

TheIncidentalGoat · 08/02/2015 16:54

That other bloke, turned up on Angie Baby's doorstep and was never seen again. He got what was coming.

TheVermiciousKnid · 08/02/2015 16:58

It's my thread, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to your cake

Angie, she was a complete physcopath. Why would someone be referred to as a wonderwall?

I always thought it was "sweet, cream icing" because american icing is frosting, not royal icing IYSWIM.

It took me years to understand Hello This is Joannie, because in my very ordinary Midlands street nobody owned an answer phone and I had no idea what the hell the song was about.

I was, and remain, scared of the Under Your Thumb song.

Wuthering Heights seemed pretty to my 8 year old self, but to my 15 year old, just read the book and very disturbed by it self, it was horrendous. I do appreciate that it is genius though, to have distilled the essence of the horror of the book into a 3 minute pop song.

My mum loved all the 60s death songs so by the time I was 6 I could sing Leader of the Pack, Johnny Remember Me (she must be dead - it's very weird) and Tell Laura I Love Her all the way through. It was slightly disturbing really.

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 18:24

Yes, the 60s seemed obsessed with death. I dont think we had a landline phone in 1978. Had to use our neighbours phone ( and pay them for the call) if it was very urgent or a telephone booth with lots of 2ps or 10ps ( wait for the pips) So he would never have had my voice to listen to. America always had everything first.
Leader of the gang was a sad song.

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 18:25

.. Sorry pack..

IamtheZombie · 08/02/2015 18:36

Knid!!! Zombie hasn't seen you around in ages. Hope you're well.

Remember what the doormouse said...

TheVermiciousKnid · 08/02/2015 21:13

Hello Zombie, good to see you! :) I've been here (mostly) but not posted much. :)

No amount of poetry
Would mend this broken heart
But you can put the Hoover round
If you want to make a start

But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 09/02/2015 02:18

I wonder if the telephone man, put it the phone in Joannie's place? Wink

Shockers · 09/02/2015 03:54

It wasn't all doom... I had lots of fun riding my bicycle, with Laurie (who was pixie-sized) on the handlebars.

legspinner · 09/02/2015 04:56

And why did she say "Listen John I love you, but there's this bloke I fancy, I don't want to two-time you so its the end for you and me".
"Who's this bloke?" I asked her. "Gordon" she replied.
Well I know he's a moron...Gordon is a moron.....

AllMimsyWereTheBorogoves · 09/02/2015 07:08

Once I had a love and it was a gas. Soon turned out had a heart of glass. Seemed like the real thing, only to find mucho mistrust. Love's gone behind. Sad

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 09/02/2015 22:43

I know the answer to what Meat Loaf wouldn't do, I saw an interview where he explained.
It's the last line each time before the 'I would do anything for love' bit. Such as 'I'd never lie to you and that's a fact. I would do anything for love but I won't do that."

EdSheeran · 09/02/2015 22:50

Isn't "I would do anything for love but I won't do that" about anal sex?

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 09/02/2015 22:51

Not according to Meat Loaf.

HappenstanceMarmite · 09/02/2015 23:44

It's so nice to be insane. No one asks you to explain...
actually does sound like a plan
