Anybody have a shotgun? If so, put me out of my misery.

[crim son]

I've got Rick Astley's song, "Never Gonna Say Goodbye" running through my head and I can feel my brain cells starting to melt.

Remember this guy? :rofl:



"I... just want to tell you how I'm feeling..."

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

1. Sure, I'll trade you

I caught "Theme from A Summer Place" in another thread and can't get rid of it.

Wait, no, yours is worse.

:hi:

[crim son]

4. Damn you!

No. Yours is worse!

[SPKrazy]

2. I'll shoot you

but you'll have to "dance" around first as I take shots around your feet :P

j/k


no

i

won't

shoot

you


deal with the song :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:evilgrin:

[crim son]

5. Thank you for your compassion.

:P

[SPKrazy]

6. i'm a compassionate kind of guy

i do it for a living no less :P

[crim son]

9. Oh yes, I forgot

about your remarkable innate love of our fellow human beings. Even moi! :)

[SPKrazy]

12. okay, you asked for it

Artist: Sister Sledge


(CHORUS:)
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

[crim son]

13. You know not what you have done.

That song came out while I was an exchange student in New Zealand. Many, many emotions, including the ridicule by my host family over Jimmy Carter's accent. Lord! :cry:

[SPKrazy]

14. oh noes...

well

don't listen then

:yoiks:



:hide:



:hug:

[SPKrazy]

16. i didn't shoot though...

:hug:

ridicule over Jimmy Carter's accent?

:P

[crim son]

23. Yeah. It was shortly after I moved to the States from Canada.

It embarrassed me too. Now it's just a clear memory, but a real one. He sounded stupid.

[SPKrazy]

26. sorry

:hug:

:(

[crim son]

28. I have long since recovered

and when the (this evening "asshole") boyfriend refers to Carter disparagingly, I give him hell. A president with a conscience... no wonder nobody liked him at the time.

Hi, pawpicker! You're being social. WTF's up?

[SPKrazy]

30. i'm a social butterfly

see my butterfly

:hi:

;)

[crim son]

33. It's lovely to be acknowledged again.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

34. pfftttt...

i hardly ever see you here at the same time i am it seems

:hug:

[crim son]

36. My initial response was...

aren't you always here? But that would be cruel, not to say, inaccurate. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

38. ah shiddap

:P

no i'm not

always here

:eyes:

:rofl:

:hug:

[crim son]

41. I know it. I'm in a feisty mood

and you are, momentarily, the lucky recipient of my mood. I'll let you off the hook and focus on swag, who dares to consider himself "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman."

Bad night, good vodka. If I am rude, forgive me. I've avoided booze for weeks because he asked me to and tonight I fell off the fucking wagon.

[SPKrazy]

42. not rude

just a PIA

:rofl:

:hi:

:hug:

good nite crimmie!

:hi:

[crim son]

44. Good night, sleep tight!

:hi:

[gmoney]

3. "Do you remember Rick Astley?..."

"Do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit that was ghastly.
He said I’m never gonna give you up or let you down.
Well I’m here to tell ya that Dick’s a clown
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow.
I’d bet it all that he knows by now
that All Men, All Men are liars their words ain’t worth no more than worn out tires.
Hey Girls, bring rusty pliers to pull this tooth, all men are liars and that’s the truth. "

-- Nick Lowe "All Men Are Liars"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg-BiWZMXPA

[crim son]

7. Wow. An ode to Rick Astley and his ghastly

music. Yet, "Never gonna give you up... Never gonna let you down..."

Maybe it's just wishful thinking. He did have a lovely bass voice for such a small, firecrotch weasel.

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. I Love You, You Love Me... We're A Happy Fam-i-lyyy...

there, *that* should do it... :evilgrin:

[crim son]

10. Can you post a bar or two?

I don't recognize it!

[crim son]

11. Oh shit. Barney?

:rofl:

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. The one and only purple dinosaur!

:rofl:

:hi:

[devilgrrl]

17. Critic Ken Tucker once stated that Rick Astley was a case FOR Capitol Punishment

eom

[crim son]

24. Oh, I disagree.

His voice was wonderful. So what if he was white. :P (Shit, will this get me banned from DU?)

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Here, this should get it out of your head...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

[crim son]

25. "You know the rules...

and so do I..."

My friend, if you were here, you'd be suffering now.

[davsand]

19. Ok--here ya go. This will boot that ear worm RIGHT on out of your head!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald:


The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy.

With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconson
As the big freighters go it was bigger than most
With a crew and the Captain well seasoned.

Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ships bell rang
Could it be the North Wind they'd been feeling.

The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the Captain did, too,
T'was the witch of November come stealing.

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashing
When afternoon came it was freezing rain
In the face of a hurricane West Wind

When supper time came the old cook came on deck
Saying fellows it's too rough to feed ya
At 7PM a main hatchway caved in
He said fellas it's been good to know ya.

The Captain wired in he had water coming in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went out of sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the words turn the minutes to hours
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd fifteen more miles behind her...


Oh lord, I have got to stop it right here right NOW. Do you have ANY idea how many freaking verses there ARE to this song? It just goes on and ON and it never stops. And you get it stuck in your head and it just won't go away.




"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy..."



Damn. Now I have it stuck in MY head again!

:banghead:

[crim son]

27. OMG, that brings me back. I'm Canadian

and that song was a fixture of my early adolescence. Thanks! :sarcasm:

[Aristus]

20. Rick Astley; the little white guy with the big black voice.

B-)

[crim son]

29. Aristus, I don't believe I responded to your last post to me,

about the search for a job in MA. It meant a lot to me, as have all your posts, because I think we are somewhat alike and even if that's not true, you tell me what's true. And yes... Astley was the little white guy with the big black voice. :rofl: :loveya:

[Aristus]

53. Anything for you, sweetie...

If you have any more questions, just let me know. Start a thread or PM me, whichever you like. I'm here for you. :-)

[crim son]

58. ...

:where is the smiley for intense gratitude?:

:hug: Thank you, Aristus.

[fizzgig]

31. thumbs up on that one

:rofl:

[fizzgig]

21. you are a horrible person and should burn for inflicting this on me

but i still lurves ya

:loveya:

hope you had a good turkey day

[crim son]

32. Ah, my sweet S.

I tell you, I actually showed my kids the pic of you and DA MAN (posted, I think, by him today) to my kids. I think of you fondly always. You too had a good/decent Thanksgiving? I hope so. :loveya:

[fizzgig]

37. i hope i didn't terrify the kiddos too much

i've missed you, lady and hope you're doing well

my day was a good one, despite a lot of stress and (partly self-induced) drama

did the turkey turn out okay? :P

:loveya:

edit: i like extra werds :silly:

[crim son]

40. I'm a fan of the werd myself.

Yeah, the turkey was cooked and the stuffing was good - in fact, I'm eating some now because I am suffering from the delusion that fifteen extra pounds since last June are not enough.k

The kids saw, "AWWWWWWWWW..." You are pretty, and more so when you are happy. Glad your turkey day was okay. :hug: :loveya:

[fizzgig]

45. he makes me feel beautiful

i can't take any of the credit

and i was actually sick and twisted enough to weigh myself before and after dinner tonight because i wanted to see what the difference would be :crazy:

:hug:

[crim son]

48. I'll tell you sick and twisted: I made my 14 year old son weigh himself

so I could feel better about my weight since taking the Depo. Dear Girl, we are all one, big, neurotic family. As for his making you feel beautiful, I know the feeling fleetingly. We wouldn't feel it if it weren't true, I can promise you that. But you have care of a remarkable man and his opinion is not to be disregarded. Nor is yours. -L

[fizzgig]

49. i am lucky to count you as family

why should this family be any less neurotic than the one i have irl?

and i do not discount his opinion. to see myself through his eyes, something i am able to do more often, is a wonderful thing. however, i am still working on truly believing it. it all comes in time, i suppose

[crim son]

50. If you get there by 44, give me a call.

And you have flattered me beyond belief. Must be a typo. :7

[fizzgig]

54. no typo and you best believe it

series :D

:hug:

[crim son]

57. I hope it isn't too... melodramatic... to say that that is the dearest thing

anybody has said to me. Thanks. What're you drinking? :P :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :blush:

[fizzgig]

62. i'm drinking the marriage of death

started the night with a beer, then a few glasses of red wine and then more beer

but you know i would say the same if i were stone cold :loveya:

[crim son]

64. It warms my heart to hear you say it.

In vino, veritas. I am guided by that principle, unless it concerns my lovers. Me, I'm drinking after a period of holding back. If I had a Love like your Elrond, I would have had only one: instead I shall pour #5 directly.

I lurves you too, truly, S. :hug: :loveya: :pals: We'd get along, if you didn't slay me with your devastating wit and even then, I could take it, because I can be humble that way, when the occasion warrants.

[fizzgig]

65. we all need to let it go sometimes

that's what i'm doing tonight, after a long abstention

and i have little wit, only bursts of luck

:loveya:

[nadine_mn]

22. wait...its a trick question

designed to ferret out the freepers lurking, because any self respecting DUer would never own a shotgun, much less shoot someone in the face.

Ha I am on to you and your Rick Astley blasphemy.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onrzgB_-0sM

Whenever you need somebody....I'll bring my love to you
:woohoo:

[crim son]

35. Okay. OKAY! I thought he was hot when I was 24!

What I want to know is... how do you know? :P

[CBHagman]

39. Hey! That was my earworm too!

We must be communicating across the miles.

So what's next on the play list?

[crim son]

43. I dare not say,

but I do recommend you don't read the entire thread! :pals:

[FloridaJudy]

46. I trade you my personal ear worm

Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPLXJAWUnwI

Damn, now I've got that one stuck. It could be much worse.

[crim son]

51. Oh, NOOOOO, FJ.

I saw your name and suspected you'd post something that'd chill me to the bone... I couldn't watch the video because I know the song and I know the danger... :rofl:

[GalleryGod]

56. Hi, Lisa!

:loveya: :loveya: :donut: :loveya: :loveya:

[crim son]

60. Oh, my dearest friend.

What's up with the donut? :P

How are you? What's going on? Won the Nobel Prize yet? :loveya: hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

Thank you. Your appearance always lifts my perpetually out-of-whack spirits; that is, when you're not setting me straight. Even then, I appreciate your lofty insight. :D

[opiate69]

47. The only thing that needs to be said about Mr Astley....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7lsdlFYHXH4

[crim son]

52. Awwwww...

:rofl: Poor Young Mr. Astley! Although he's probably my fricking age by now...

[opiate69]

55. hehe.. yeah, but Rick got off kinda easy, actually..

you should hear what Hicks had to say about people like Debbie Gibson and George Michael!

[crim son]

61. He sounds like a circumspect judge!

I will now research his thoughts on Debbie Gibson!!

[marzipanni]

59. Shotgun shells are expensive - this song score from 'Sweden, Heaven and Hell' will cure your earworm

"Mah Nà Mah Nà" was a well-known pop music song, written by Piero Umiliani. It was a hit in many countries, including the USA, in 1968–1969.

It originally debuted as part of Piero Umiliani's music score from an Italian softcore pornographic movie, Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Heaven and Hell) (1968).

Enjoy.

[crim son]

63. AAARRRGGG. You are a demon from the

Nether Regions!

At least you've gotten rid of Astley but now I must call my sister, one year younger, to relive the memories. We have a fairly huge dance/poetry/song/ repetoire based on "Mah Na Mah Nah." Forgive me for omitting the accents... errr, graves? Curses to you, marzipanni.

[BrotherBuzz]

66. I believe "Mah Nà Mah Nà" was played during the hot sauna scene

I have a very fine Browning 'Sweet Sixteen' loaded with number four shot if push comes to shove.;)

[Capn Sunshine]

67. aaaah...the soundtrack to the Saturn commercial that plays every time I stream Air America

I think I've developed a tolerance
