I'll start it off with:
"Send in the Clowns"

[TexasTowelie]

1. Crazy Train

[red dog 1]

2. I like it!

beautiful cat, by the way.

[TexasTowelie]

4. I look forward to being reunited with her.

I haven't seen her in over a year since I had mental health problems and had to move in with my brother. She is four years old.

[red dog 1]

6. I hope the two of you are together again soon

She will probably be as happy to see you as you will be to see her.

[Special Prosciuto]

23. Fifteen kids and a family on the skids, I got to go for a Sunday drive.

[lame54]

50. actually...

that song has the lines:

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

can't endorse this one

[Scuba]

3. This one ...

[seveneyes]

5. His brain is squirming like a toad

[applegrove]

7. You Jerk, You Jerk, You Are Such A Jerk

[SeattleVet]

8. Napoleon XIV's

"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"

[rurallib]

12. but of course

we think the significant other is being blamed in that song for driving them crazy, but it is Hillary!

[LiberalElite]

22. Yes -

I recall this song was very controversial at the time (mid '60s?) and critics said it ridiculed the insane (and it probably did) HOWEVER it absolutely fits this ever-expanding crowd of, well, NUTS. Are there ANY normal Republicans out there anymore?

[CurtEastPoint]

9. Patsy...

[frogmarch]

10. They're Coming To Take Me Away

[Joe Shlabotnik]

18. I prefer the B side

[Lil Missy]

26. That would be my choice. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

11. How about...."Because I got high" ?

[mia]

13. Ring around the rosie...

,

[seveneyes]

14. Like acid on organic compounds

[seveneyes]

15. I want more

[Doc_Technical]

16. The Beatles- Piggies

[red dog 1]

45. "In their eyes there's something lacking...

..What they need's a damn good whacking"

(Ain't that the truth?)

[seveneyes]

17. Sweet revenge

[Momgonepostal]

19. Chain of fools? nt

[red dog 1]

43. Another good one!

(Great song too)

An offbeat Irish comedy from the early 1990s, about a group of Dubliners who form a "soul" band
is called "The Commitments"...and they do a version of "Chain of Fools" that is outstanding.

[KamaAina]

51. "Take Me To The River", too

much more up-tempo than the Al Green version.

[red dog 1]

53. You saw The Commitments?

[KamaAina]

54. Roit!

Mum took me to see it in southern Connecticut. She even got the soundtrack! I've even seen it broadcast on TV!

[red dog 1]

55. I've probably seen it at least 30 times

Their version of "Dark Side of the Street" is outstanding!

I think my favorite scene is at the roller skating rink, where they are playing a gig, and Mick the drummer sees Jimmy the manager getting slapped around by the bully at the bar & Mick leaves the stage & proceeds to bash his head into the bully's nose.

[seveneyes]

20. Not Going to California

[Arugula Latte]

21. Ship of Fools

[ailsagirl]

33. LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dont call me Shirley]

24. Pigs, Pink Floyd

"Pigs (Three Different Ones)"

Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....!.....!.....!.....!
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry

[demmiblue]

29. Lily Allen - Fuck You (Very Much)

Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
Then look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired
Of all the hatred you harbor

So you say it's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Do you get, do you get a little kick
Out of being small minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it

Do you, do you really enjoy
Living a life that's so hateful?
'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
You're losing control a bit
And it's really distasteful

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you

You say you think we need to go to war
Well, you're already in one
'Cause it's people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

Looks fairly prolific. I thought it was just I Lost on Jeopardy, Eat It, and a few others.

[olddots]

35. Born to Lose by Ray Charles

Southern Polititian by Willy DeVille .

[red dog 1]

42. "Born to Lose".....Very appropriate for those 14 bozos, IMO

I'm not familiar with the other one, but I'll check it out.

"Born To Lose", recorded by Ray Charles in 1962, was written by country singer/songwriter
Ted Daffan in 1942.
Daffan also wrote the very popular "Truck Driver's Blues" in 1939.
