I'd like to dedicate just a bit of this song to Elvy, and the beautiful Annabell Jade. Yes, the name's a little different, but such sweet, pretty words! ;)

From Annabelle Lee~ Harry Belafonte

Oh the moon never beams

Without bringing me dreams

Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee

And the stars never rise

But I see the bright eyes

Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee

We’re never apart for I gave her my heart

She gave her heart to me

And I love with a love

That is more than just love

My adorable Annabelle Lee...

Marc - this one's all for you, babe! My sister's ringtone for my nephew (the Tucson cop) is this tune. :grin:

(hope I edited all the bad words out) :crazy:

Ridin' Dirty

Here's Weird Al's version of that song for all of the nerds on SF (you know who you are). :grin:

They see me mowin’

My front lawn

I know they’re all thinking I’m so white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy?

Look at me, I’m white and nerdy

I wanna roll with

The gangstas

But so far they all think I’m too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

I’m just too white and nerdy.

Really really white and nerdy.

First in my class here at MIT

Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D

MC Escher - that’s my favorite MC

Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea

My rims never spin, to the contrary

You’ll find that they’re quite stationary

All of my action figures are cherry

Steven Hawking’s in my library

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out

Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces

Yo, I know pi to a thousand places

Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces

I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise

I’m a whiz at Minesweeper - I could play for days

Once you see my sweet moves you’re gonna stay amazed

My fingers’ movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze

There’s no killer app I haven’t run

At Pascal, well I’m number one

Do vector calculus just for fun

I ain’t got a gat but I got a soldering gun

Happy Days is my favorite theme song

I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong

I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on

I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

They see me roll on

My Segway

I know in my heart they think I’m white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy

Look at me, I’m white and nerdy

I’d like to roll with

The gangstas

Although it’s apparent I’m too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

I’m just too white and nerdy

How’d I get so white and nerdy

I’ve been browsin’, inspectin’

X-Men comics, you know I collect ‘em

The pens in my pocket, I must protect ‘em

My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored

Shopping online for deals on some writable media

I edit Wikipedia

I memorized Holy Grail really well

I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL

I got a business doing websites

When my friends need some code, who do they call?

I do HTML for ‘em all

Even made a homepage for my dog

Yo, I got myself a fanny pack

They were havin’ a sale down at The Gap

Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap

Pop, pop, hope no one sees me

Gettin’ freaky

I’m nerdy in the extreme

And whiter than sour cream

I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team

Only question I

Ever thought was hard

Was do I like Kirk

Or do I like Picard

Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair

Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin’

They laughin’

And rollin’ their eyes ‘cause I’m so white and nerdy

Just because I’m white and nerdy

Just because I’m white and nerdy

All because I’m white and nerdy

Holy cow, I’m white and nerdy

I wanna bowl with

The gangstas

But, oh well, it’s obvious I’m white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

Think I’m just too white and nerdy

I’m just too white and nerdy

Look at me, I’m white and nerdy

For Shannon...who can daydream about the roofers :P

Up On The Roof

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

I get away from the hustling crowd

And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

On the roof, the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

At night the stars put on a show for free

And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town

I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)

And if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two

Up on the roof (up on the roof)

Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)

Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)

Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

FADE

Everything is all right (up on the roof)

This one is for Kevin:

Cheap Wine

Once I smoked a Danneman cigar

Drove a foreign car

Baby that was years ago

I left it all behind

Had a friend, I heard she died

On a needle she was crucified

Baby that was years ago

I left it all behind for my

Cheap wine and a three-day growth

Cheap wine and a three-day growth

Come-on, come-on, come-on

I don't mind takin' charity

From those that I despise

I don't really need your love

Baby you can shout at me

But you can't meet my eyes

I don't really need your love, I got my

Cheap wine and a three-day growth

Cheap wine and a three-day growth

Come-on, come-on, come-on

Sitting on the beach drinkin' rocket fuels Oh Yeah!

Spent the whole night breakin' all the rules Oh Yeah!

Mending every minute of the day before

Watching the ocean, watching the shore

Watching the sunrise, and thinkin' there could never be more

Never be more

Anytime you want to find me

I ain't got a telephone

I'm another world away

But I always feel at home, with my

Cheap wine and a three-day growth

Cold Chisel

And one for Martin:

Weather With You

Walking 'round the room singing

Stormy Weather

at 57 Mt. Pleasant St.

Now it's the same room but everything's different

You can fight the sleep but not the dream

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen

Strange affliction wash over me

Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire

Couldn't conquer the blue sky

There's a small boat made of china

Going nowhere on the mantlepiece

Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard

Or do I sing like a bird released

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you

Crowded House

For Sweet Jane:

Turn Up Your Radio

Rockin'and Rollin', you're still doing it now

15 years today and you remember how

You're gonna hear it now

Blastin' out your radio

Listen to the music now

Turn Up Your Radio, Ahhhh..... yeah... alright

Stop what you're doing and listen to us

1956 the juke boxes really jumped

The bass guitar and drums they really thumped

Everybodies learning from what they did a long time ago

Listen to the music now

Turn Up Your Radio!

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock

Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock

Nine ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock. We're gonna rock!!!!

And one for Mistress Evolver, Peaches.

Women In Uniform

Hello there sailor

Hi there Lili Marlene

Good morning school girls

Welcome to the team

Beehive hairdo forty-five on the hip

Patrolwoman Saunders don't you give her no lip

Took me to the station for a breath test

Then back to her bedroom for some house arrest

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold

Women in uniform but oooh they feel so warm

Flying to my hometown on a 747

Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven

Looking up the aisle trying to see what I could see

She leaned over and said coffee tea or me

White apron and brown leather shoes

The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised

Broke my left leg and sprained my right

Now she takes my temperature every night

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold

Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm

Women in uniform Women in uniform

Women in uniform Women in uniform

Commando raid on the Lebanese border

Sergeant Anita she gives the order

Khaki jacket and a sten gun

Baby I surrender let's have some fun

Khaki navy blue and brass buttons bring me to my knees

A peaked cap and a badge or two oooh they're such a tease

So girls if the man you need just won't come across

Put on a uniform show him who's the boss

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold

Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm

Women in uniform khaki white and blue

Women in uniform coming after you

This is for Elvish and Annalee

from Bobby Darin's album If I Were A Carpenter

For Baby (originally "For Bobbi") - John Denver

I'll walk in the rain by your side

I'll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand

I'll do anything to help you understand

I love you more than anyone can

I'll be there when you're feeling down

To kiss away the tears if you cry

I'll share with you all the happiness I've found

A reflection of the love in your eyes

And the wind will whisper your name to me

Little birds will sing along in time

The leaves will bow down when you walk by

And morning bells will chime.

hugs and kisses to you both

Katie...girl I love it, thanks!! :)

This one's for you because you are the...

Prettiest Star ~ David Bowie

Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire

You will be my rest and peace child

I moved up to take a place near you

So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tired

It's a trick to make you see wide

It can all but break your heart in pieces

Staying back in your memory

Are the movies in the past

How you moved is all it takes

To sing a song of when I loved

The Prettiest Star

One day though it might as well be someday

You and I will rise up all the way

All because of what you are

The Prettiest Star

Staying back in your memory

Are the movies in the past

How you moved is all it takes

To sing a song of when I loved

The Prettiest Star

One day though it might as well be someday

You and I will rise up all the way

All because of what you are

The Prettiest Star
