he kept dreaming that someday he'd be a star

[motely36]

A superstar, but he didn't get far!

:)

[sui generis]

1. Jesus Christ!

Superstar. Who in the world do you think you are?

[motely36]

5. Webber sucks!

:puke:

[sui generis]

7. I, don't know how to looooooove him

what to do, how to moooooove him. He's a man. He's just a man. And I've had so many, me-hen before. In ve-ry ma-ny wayzzzzzz. He's just one more.

:evilgrin:

[motely36]

11. I must admit that there are a few good songs in that show

Simon Zealot is probably my favorite.

and I actually used Gethsemane as an audition piece in college once.

[sui generis]

16. oh yeah, gethsemane

bet you blew those vocal chords OUT!

but you're right, for the most part Webber is very formula -

I first saw JCSS (I was a wee little fruit) in Germany on a military base theatre in 1977? 1978? That was cool - some surprisingly talented people in the military.

2. Midnight Train to Georgia? n/t

[motely36]

4. Yes, one of my favorites

:)

[Hugin]

3. That's not like the thrill that'll get'cha when you get your picture...

on the cover of "The Rolling Stone".

[motely36]

6. I should know this

but I'm drawing a blank

[Hugin]

9. Dr. Hook and the medicine show...

We're big rock singers... We've got golden fingers...
We make love where ever we go!

[kmla]

8. Hmmmm. You sound like a freaky old lady, named Cocaine Katie....

Who embroideries all my jeans...

[Hugin]

12. I'm going to buy 50 copies for my mother...

Yeah, you've got it!

[Richardo]

15. I got my poor old grey haired Daddy - driving my limosine.

I love that song.

[Hugin]

17. Ah, that's beautiful!

(It was one of the first and only singles I ever bought.)

THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE
Dr Hook & the Medicine Show

(talking...) Ha ha ha I don't believe it
Da, da, ah, ah don't touch it
Hey, Ray, Hey Sugar tell them who we are.....

Well, we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go..... (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten-thousand dollars a show..... (right)
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone.....) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone.....)Wanna buy five copies for my mother..... (yes)
(Stone.....)Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone.... (that's a very very good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
Drivin my limosine
Now it's all decided to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone.....) Wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone.....) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers..... (yeah)
(Stone.....) Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
(talking) Hey, I know how
Rock and roll.....

Ah, that's beautiful

We got a lot of little teenage blue eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genu wine Indian Guru
Who's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone.....)Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone.....) Wanna buy five copies for my mother..... (wa wa)
(Stone.....) Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
On the cover of the rollin.......
Stone.....) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(talking) I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby....
(Stone.....) Wanna buy five copies for my mother
(talking) We're beautiful subjects....
(Stone.....) Wanna see my smilin face
(talking) I ain't kiddin, we would make a beautiful cover....
On the cover of the rollin stone......
(talking) fresh shot, right up front, Man.....
I can see it now, we'll be up in the front....
Smilin, Man......
Ahh, beautiful.......

Thanks, prag!

Failed miserably.
