Another Song Thread!

Then comes the monkey man's friendship with Tweeter

 

The Headstones - Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Traveling Wilburys cover)

 

Plus, the song references Springsteen, aka The Boss, just to tie it back to Phaedrus' post.

Well to get higher and higher, even higher than a mountain, you need to go to the wild blue yonder

Well, it wasn't free, far from it in fact.

 

The tax man's taken all my dough,

And left me in this stately home,

Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

And I can't sail my yacht,

He's taken everything I got,

All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Well a lazy sunny afternoon, when the tax man's taken all your dough, is the perfect time to Imagine.

Arejayell, I had *infinite* dreams. You can't raise me, by definition. And a mere twelve certainly doesn't cut it :)

 

Anyway, just for you... dreaming is just imagining things while you sleep...

Ok, not really related to the previous song, but it is about imagination and dreams, love and beauty etc.... very imaginative. From one of my favourite operas.

 

 

Lovely night, oh night of love,

smile upon our joys!

Night much sweeter than the day,

oh beautiful night of love!

Ah! Smile upon our joys!

Night of love, oh night of love!

Wow... a challenge.

 

Well Offenbach was not often Bach, in fact he was never Bach.

Neither was Ludwig van Beethoven.

Or his nephew Camper Van Beethoven.

 

so...

 

Camper Van Beethoven - Take the skinheads bowling

Hey, any kind of association is good enough for this thread.

 

But if you're going to bring Offenbach into it, then you're totally getting Orpheus in the Underworld.
