DEARLY BELOVED...

[sundog]

We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If u don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends

U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

8. When I need an extra 'kick'... I do that, too

"Wendy?"
"Yes, Lisa."
"Is the water warm enough?"
"Yes, Lisa."
"Shall we begin?"
"Yes, Lisa."

[sundog]

13. haha

i was just gonna post that :P

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

15. Are you like me in that you do the hand motions in "I Would Die 4U"?

Those around me think I'm nuts... but I. just. can't. help. it!

[sundog]

17. oh, i never did that

:blush:

:P

[Aristus]

22. And the Hendrix-style guitar coda is out of this world!

I get chills when I hear it. B-)

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

23. Oh yeah... the guitar at the end makes it SOO worth listening all the way

through, too.... magical!

[indy_azcat]

2. it's a shame the radio typically hacks off the intro

it's like hearing only half a song :cry:

[sundog]

4. the intro is the beauty of the whole thing... you're only hearing half the

story

[indy_azcat]

5. short attention span america

it's a rarity to hear a new song >3 min nowadays... good bye In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida :p

Hey, whatever happened to the sundog cult?

[sundog]

9. they disbanded & turned on me... i'm a rogue now

:P

[hfojvt]

18. I listened to about half of Harry Nillson's "The Point"

before I had to goto bed. The computer tried to play it again the next time I played tunes - I was like, 'uh uh'.
One radio station played some Peter Frampton song that went on for about 20 minutes, but then they chopped off the end of Journey's "The Lights" where he sings "na,na,na-na,na,na ..."
For me the worst part is that every DJ is almost guaranteed to play Prince's "Kiss" at a dance, but you will never ever hear "Let's go crazy", which to me is a much cooler song, and far easier to dance to.

6. I used to have that-as an album.

Damn I loved Prince. I admit that I still do love to listen to him.

[sundog]

7. listening to it now... i'm feeling very purple today

:P

[xmas74]

10. I've got on a club mix.

Someone passed it on to me in my email. Not too bad.

[sundog]

[Left Is Write]

24. I love that song. Long, long ago, when it was new...

a group of us girls from my college put together a dance to that song for the Frosh Frolics. The judging committee thought it was "too sexy."
