Shawna Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 I was making up an entire trip around the world based on songs about specific places. So let's go. We'll start out at Our House(Madness), go down Thunder Road (Springsteen) to the airport, where we'll say Goodbye Sky Harbor (Jimmy Eat World) and fly down to Mexico (Roger Clyne). From there... (your turn)
_Laurie_ Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) From there we will be Wasted On The Way to Margaritaville while we rock on to Electric Avenue. Edited March 19, 2007 by Guest
phil Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Then it's Viva Las Vegas (Elvis), where we will get Comfortably Numb (Floyd) and we'll Dance,Dance Dance (Beach Boys).
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 After Smoking My Ganja and Dancing On The Ceiling, we'll take a Jet Plane over to Kingston Town where, Once Again we'll Get Stoned.
Uncle Joe Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 We;ll be so mellow as we head over to Baker Street, and then we'll Trip, Stumble and Fall-- All The way To Reno.
Lucky Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 After Riding the Storm Out, we spent Six Months In a Leaky Boat trying to get to Katmandu where we wasted more time Waiting On A Friend by having One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 After Walking to New Orleans, coming All The Way From Memphis, we'll Hang Around, until the Clock Strikes Ten. Then we'll rent a Magic Bus and drive to Kansas City.
Lucky Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 In Kansas City we jumped a Train which was involved in a Crash so we took off through the desert on a Horse With No Name. Pretty soon, we were Heading Into Los Angeles.
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 When we got there, we found out Los Angeles Is Burning. So, we Put Out The Fire and headed North To Alaska.
Uncle Joe Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Couldn't stay there because She's So Cold so we headed down for some California Dreamin' but the conductor said "if you're going to San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair so we detoured to Waikiki to get leid.
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 We stayed in Blue Hawaii for two lovely Seasons In The Sun. It had been A Long December and it became Cold As Ice, and we got Tired Of Waiting for The Perfect Wave. So, we decided to Get In The Van and hit the Road To Rio.
Crazy Don Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 If I Go to Rio, then I must be in Brazil. While there, I decided to check out The Girl from Ipanema. Heading south, I got sad, so Don't Cry for Me Argentina. So I sailed across the Atlantic and found myself in Africa.
Lucky Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Meanwhile, some of our Songfacts friends decided to leave their Sweet Home Alabama, so they bought a ticket on the Mississippi Queen and headed for the City of New Orleans where they moved into The House of the Rising Sun.
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 We stayed at the "House That Love Built" until it was overrun by Gangstas and Pimps, who would regularly Shakedown the owners, forcing them to close on New Year's Day. So, it was time to Shuffle Off To Buffalo.
Lucky Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 After leaving our little Loveshack in Buffalo we went to New York New York and were soon Leaving On A Jetplane. We landed in Liverpool, where we took the Ferry Across the Mersy.
miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 The boat got Shipwrecked and we ended up Living On An Island for a short time. The Lady In Red told us, "Don't Pay The Ferryman". We didn't. We were eventually rescued by Jacques Cousteau in the Calypso and taken to safety in Old England Town. (How's that one?....THREE Chris DeBurgh references in a row in one paragraph! I do apologize.)
Shawna Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Posted March 19, 2007 While there in Old England Town, we visited Cherry Hill Park and sat on some England Swings, then we hit the Interstate again and rode On A Bus To St. Cloud to celebrate Independence Day, all in One Week.
Lucky Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) While looking for the House At Pooh Corner we were told by The Old Man Down The Road to take a left at The Seven Bridges Road, and continue on to Main Street. He said we'd find the Teddy Bear Down On The Corner. By the time he was done it just seemed to be a Ball Of Confusion. Edited March 20, 2007 by Guest
_Laurie_ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 We ended up going down The Long And Winding Road as we waved and said Goodbye Yellowbrick Road, we may see you again someday, but then again, Someday Never Comes.
Lucky Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 After all that walking we decided to take a Magic Carpet Ride and traveled Back To The USSR where the snow was so deep we had to take a Nantucket Sleighride. It was so very cold that we were glad when we were Back In The USA.
_Laurie_ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) When we got back I was Lookin Out My Backdoor and noticed there was a Bad Moon Rising, so we had to Run Through The Jungle. When we came out, we noticed that we were all stuck in Lodi again... (All CCR ) Edited March 20, 2007 by Guest
Green Day and Queen Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Then we got Welcomed to Paradise (Green Day) when we noticed we accidentily took a turn to Brokenheartsville (Joe Nichol) where we decided to stay at The Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis). Then we left on our way, and stopped at Hotel California (The Eagles) along the way.
Uncle Joe Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Did I mention how much we enjoyed Graceland? It was sweet as Tupelo Honey. Anyway, we're Going Back To Tennessee to see those Nashville Cats in concert.
