...in a land called Honolee<sp>"

Do you remember the cartoon?

[HEyHEY]

3. no I don't

what years?

[nyrnyr1994]

4. I think it was a cartoon movie...

Hadn't seen it in like 20 yrs., all I remember about it was the boy in the story was able to travel to Honolee by staring at a crack on the side wall of his house...

Edit note: Holy shiznit! I have memories that are two decades old!!! (Sorry, don't mind my quarter-life crisis ramblings...and I can't believe I used shiznit as a word!)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[HEyHEY]

[Booberdawg]

24. What are you talking about kazaa??

I have no idea what you are talking about?
I've never heard of kazaa?

I have windows messenger, email.

[JohnKleeb]

26. kazaa is a file sharing program

:hi: its how I get my MP3s more often than not. :shrug: Sorry I didnt know that you hadnt heard of it. oh I got windows messanger too actually, if you want it I can download it for ya.

[Booberdawg]

29. I'm behind the times. I don't download music

I'll PM my windows messenger to you. I'd love to have Puff the Magic Dragon! :D

[JohnKleeb]

30. ok

[HEyHEY]

31. if john can explain how to

[JohnKleeb]

32. I'll try, I got experience doing this with AIM but none with my messager

I use both but I got the bulk of my friends on AIM so thus I use it more.

[Booberdawg]

45. Now Boober has kazza

:D

[HEyHEY]

22. oh sorry I meant to answer this

yeah I got it online..with some other stuff

[HEyHEY]

14. I just listened to it again

How the FUCK could jackie paper ditch his buddy and leave himlonely like that!?

I know the song is not to be taken literally but...the story itself is soo upsetting

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. Tell him to buy a pipe

then let that fucker Jackie Paper take a hike...who needs him?

[HEyHEY]

19. yeah I guess

I just hate to see such betrayal!

[JohnKleeb]

18. I thought it was just about getting high

:shrug: and I thought that one song Atlantis was weird, its good though heh it makes me think of Goodfellas. Take that Billy Batts, thats what you get for telling Tommy to get his fucking shinebox. heh sorry everyone.

[HEyHEY]

20. yeah but billy's buddies got the last laugh

the song is about smoking pot, but if you listen to it with a more innocent state of mind, it's quite sad

[JohnKleeb]

23. yep and you know what I wonder about

If one of them was this guy,
I have Nicholas Pillegi's book about it all and Henry says Gotti was part of his crew but that would have been a neat concidence if Gotti was the one who killed poor Tommy, I loved that fucker, he made me fucking laugh and he was fucking funny.
"way down below the ocean where I wanna be"

[HEyHEY]

27. wow, that would be neat to know

I have gotti's Biography upstairs..still haven't delved into it.

[JohnKleeb]

28. Seriously that would be interesting

If Gotti was the one who delievered the fatal blow.

[Booberdawg]

16. HEyHEY -Why are you feeling so weepy tonight?

:-(

[HEyHEY]

21. I'm not really

Just that song...I heard it and it touches a nerve :shrug:

[Booberdawg]

33. You're just a sensitive person

that happens to be a guy. I think it says more about you than anything against you

[Don_G]

25. It's Not A Wuss Emotion

It bothers my cousin too; Vietnam Vet with medals and clusters.

[Booberdawg]

34. HEyHEY I thought that was Peter Paul and Mary that sang that.

JohnKleeb is on Windows Messenger trying to find it and download it for me now. Is that who the artists were?

36. Wrong - song about the end of childhood

Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics? Some people use it to represent getting high, but the song can NOT realistically be interpreted that way if you actually listen to the words.

added: Read what Snopes has to say about the pot allusions myth. http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/puff.htm

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

CHORUS

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So, Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh

CHORUS

[Booberdawg]

37. I always thought it was about the kid.

:shrug:

It's a matter of perspective, I suppose.

According to your interpretation/snopes - it's about the end of childhood.

I always thought it was about the kid. Sorta fits in with the interpretation you found.

HeyHey found .... betrayal, sorta sentimental sensitive stuff. (Could fit in with the end of childhood stuff)

I can also see where someone into taking drugs could turn the whole song into getting high. That's not how I take it though, and I don't think that's how most people take it.

[HEyHEY]

41. That's the way I like to look at it

Not as....underbelly but it is more romantic that way to me.

[HEyHEY]

42. can someone fill me in on what was said by this guy

WHo gets a deleted post on a "puff the magic dragon" thread...?

[Booberdawg]

43. I didn't see it but I heard there was a freeper attack last night

Pretty stooopid to attack Democrats/libruls in a Puff the Magic Dragon thread, but it does make them easier to spot. :eyes:

[Booberdawg]

38. HEyHEY, I have a happy song for you!

Don't laugh! I'm serious about this! I LOVE this song and my sister sent me this "kids" CD because it had MY song on it.

You only ever hear this silly song once a year because it is a St Patty's song, (um, around my birthday celebration)

It's The Unicorn song. It's a HAPPY song! I LOVE it!

I'll send it to you if you want it.

I didn't get the right version of Puff the Magic Dragon earlier though so I need to get your version.

[HEyHEY]

40. I know the unicorn....I actaully review an Irish Rovers concert once

Great band!

[Deja Q]

39. It's a song about using drugs!

Puffing a bong shaped like a dragon.

Of course, I'd go much further and say some really goofy, outlandish, things, but they won't allow that type of commentary anymore. :-( :-)

[Nikia]

44. My mom had a record with that song when I was a kid

I cried about that song too. It is sad.

[Booberdawg]

46. Hey HEyHEY - feeling better tonight?

:D

[HEyHEY]

47. not when I hear that tune

I've tried...but every time I hear that song...I stat to cry...why did jackie leave puff? I guess it's the way things must be...but that doesn't comfort my image of a dragon with no friend..dying from lonlines...

[JVS]

48. You need to listen to something else

May I suggest "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue (the angry American)" by Toby Keith
