I have had the theme song for Charles in Charge stuck in my head for four days.

Don't know how it got there. Can't shake it.

Hah
Well I'm feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better baby, I'm over you
I've learned my lesson baby, and it left a scar (ah)
But now I see how ya really are (ah)
You're no good no good,
Baby, you're no good oh yeah
No good, no good, no good (ah hah)
Baby, you're no good
I broke a heart, simple n' true
Broke a heart for someone like you
We'll be comin' back, don't come running to me
I wanna love you, maybe set you free
You're no good, no good, no good
Baby, you're no good (whoa oh oh)
You're no good, no good, no good (ah no)
Baby, you're no good (hah)
Used to be I couldn't sleep at night, baby
Now you go on an' do what you want to
Ow
No good, no good, (ow ow) no good
Baby, you're no good (ow)
(Ow ow)
Ah uh uh

I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou

Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner...

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Norway's bravest son
Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
The eternal Thompson gunner
still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it
