This Is The Thread Where We Play Radio Dedications To One Another:

[beckstra]

All right tomatoes and potatoes (ZeMonkeys of all ages), I'm giving you the swinginest song of them all because you all let me boy crazy you to death...and naturally because you all give me fever with your flaming youth...

Fever
as sung by Peggy Lee

Never know how much I love you,
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.

You give me fever,
When you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever! In the morning,
Fever all through the night.

Sun lights up the daytime
And moon lights up the night..
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever
When you kiss me,
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever! In the morning,
And fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliette
Juliette she felt the same
When he put his arms around her he said,
"Julie, Baby , you're my flame

"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with thy flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire,
"Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."

Cap'in Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said,
"Daddy, oh, don't you dare!

"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his misses, So
"Daddy, Won't you treat him right?"

Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! 'till you sizzle
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn
what a lovely way to burn

[priceyfatprude]

The one who this is for, will know it is for them.



Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
(with) your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

For JT

Fig Jam

I woke up this morning, but I didn't wake
'Til the afternoon, because I slept in late
With a great mental state and a date with destiny
I rolled down the block without a copper even stressin' me
Let alone arrestin' me or giving me a ticket
It's coming into summer, and the weather's fvcking wicked
So I figured I'd be hitting the beach
Look at skinny-dipper's titties and get something to eat
After half a pound of chips and a flounder burger
I was sitting on my arse like a council worker
And I'm missing about being pissed off about
My house burning down to the ground, and being out on my arse
Before my change of fortune
Now I score tunes, don't get up before noon
Since your mama's on the head of my knob
And it's better than heading to my dead-end job
Because the boss was a cockhead (when I was a clerk)
So I clocked him - and now I don't work
It's beautiful day, and I can use a cliche,
coz
I am the greatest! (..like Cassius Clay)

I got the world at my feet, and my toe jam's nasty
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me
I couldn't give a shit about your corporate hierachy
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me

(I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfvcking man, etc)

I walk around in track-and-thongs
Fvcked off a buck-of-bongs
If you don't like it, you can come suck a long
..dick! 'Cause I'm flipped off, all the way to hip hop
I get so plastered, you'd think I'm drinking gyp-rock
But I'm shit-hot, no matter how you look at it
And my lyrics make you wanna read a book a lit'
Don't - 'cause I'm cooking it right for the iron chef!
(That's why I'm deaf, up to the high clef)

(Figjam!)
And that's a fact, that Chief Wiggum and the fact
That laggards like a magic pack of Tim Tams
Where the buck stops and you suck and i don't give-a-damn, sucking on the cut
They should call me Edward Scissorhands

So give a hand for me and my associates
[Crickets chirping]
(You suck!)
Well that's just inappropriate
Smoke me a kipper, bitch
I'm from the yipper, switch
Side of town, don't forget to write it down
(West side, ey!)
What the fvck? It ain't gangster rap!
Think you're tougher, then you'd probably pop a wanker's cramp (?)
And I'll thank you to fvck right off
Professional fvckwits, take one night off

I'm Evil Eddie with a rock-steady microphone mastery
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me
As a concept, the intellect can't grasp me
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me

(I can't believe how good I am, I'm the motherfvcking man, etc)

I got the strong profile, without the help of rhinoplasty
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me
Kicking arse in the cha, but you can't ask me
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me
I just had a threesome with ya moma and your aunty
(Figjam!)
Fvck I'm good, just ask me
And they're coming back this arvo for the bukkake party
(Figjam!)
My dick is bigger than a wigwam!
And you can see my peepee three feet behind the tv
And if you are getting very sleepy, wake up
(And these **nts need a shake up)

I'm a jet-setter, go-getter, but I got a vendetta
Just got a death threat over the phone
Better go lay low, underground, like a bilby
(Figjam!)
Chill man, people wanna kill me!
But I don't let that bullshit sweat me
I'll be at yo mama's if you wanna get me,
You shady fvck. I may be stuck
In a crazy situation but I'm favoured by lady luck
You wanna stop me? You wanna do it properly
[Blam blam]
Ah fvck, somebody shot me.

[craig johnston]

depite zroe's insults, this goes out to all at zefrank:

The Streets - Weak Become Heroes

Turn left up the street
Nothing but grey concrete and dead beats
Grab something to eat
Maccy d’s or kfc
Only one choice in the city
Done voicing my pity now lets get to the nitty gritty
Tune reminds me of my first e
Like unique still sixteen and feelin horny
Point to the sky feel free
A sea of people all equal smiles in front and behind me
Swim in the deep blue sea cornfields sway lazily
All smiles all easy where you from, what you on and what’s your story
Mesmerizing tones risin pianos this is my zone so stop clonin
Pick paper scissors or stone
Coz me and you are same I known you all my life I don’t know your name
The names european bob sorted anyway
Gonna have dance now see you later please to meet you
Likewise a pleasure

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion
All the commotion becomes floatin emotions
Same piano loops over
Arms wave eyes roll back and jaws fall open
I see in soft focus
Chattin to this bloke in the toilets
Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights
These people are for life it’s all back to his place at the end of the night
They could settle wars with this
If only they will imagine the worlds leaders on pills then imagine the mornin after
Wars causing disaster don’t talk to me I don’t know ya
But this ain’t tommorow and for now I still love ya
Hours fly over sail round diamonds and pearls never seen so many fit girls
Discover new worlds look at my watch can’t focus
Last two hours I lost every move fills me with lust
All of life’s problems I just shake off
Mad little events happen things map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets
Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us geezers on e’s and first timers kids on whizz darlins on
Charlie
All come together for this party
All races many faces from places you never heard of
Where you from what’s your name and what you want
Sing to the words flex to the fat one
The tribal drums the sun’s risin we all smile we all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing

Then the girl in the café taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by I’m older
Memories smoulder winters colder
But that same piano loops over and over and over
The road shines and the rain washes away
The same chinese takeaway selling shit in a tray
It’s dark all round I walk down same sight same sounds new beats though
Solid concrete under my feet
No surprises no treats the world stands still as my mind sloshes round
The washing up bowl in my crown
My life’s been up and down since I walked from that crowd

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing

We were just standin there mindin our own
And it went on and on
We all smile we all sing
The weak become heroes then the stairs align
We all sing we all sing all sing......

TUNE!!!!

[dinzdale]

Good afternoon spot pickers, and now from the first lady of European Song, the lovely Lulu and her monster hit. For Craig form your best friend Zero...

Come closer, come closer and listen
The beat of my heart keeps on missing
I notice it most when we’re kissing
Come closer and love me tonight
That’s right
Come closer and cuddle me tight

My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won’t you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time

It’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Don’t go away
I wanna stay my whole life through
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Close to you

Your smile is so warm and inviting
The thought of your kiss is exciting
So hold me and don’t keep me waiting
Come closer and love me tonight
That’s right
Come closer and cuddle me tight

My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won’t you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time


It’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Now you are near
I wanna hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
I love you

It’s such a lovely feeling
When I’m in your arms
Now you are near
I wanna hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang

I love you

[LadyCrow]

For all of my fellow zemonkeys (especially the NIN freaks):

***
I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can’t keep control, can’t keep track of where it’s traveling
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And you’re the only one that’s understood
I come along but I don’t know where you’re taking me
I shouldn’t go but you’re reaching back and shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die
***

It's not the whole song, obviously, but it's the best part that fits. So there.

[craig johnston]

hmm, ok, something a little more cheerful now for H.Fox down there in Aussie land, it's that wack cat Johnathan Richman with his Modern Lovers, and the all-time classic; 'Roadrunner'!

Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with Massachusetts
And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on
I'm like the roadrunner

Alright
I'm in love with modern moonlight
128 when it's dark outside
I'm in love with Massachusetts
I'm in love with the radio on
It helps me from being alone late at night
It helps me from being lonely late at night
I don't feel so bad now in the car
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
That's right

Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
Waitin' in the bushes next to '57
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
Suburban trees, suburban speed
And it smells like heaven(thunder)
And I say roadrunner once
Roadrunner twice
I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night
Roadrunner
That's right

Well now
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
With the radio on at night
And me in love with modern moonlight
Me in love with modern rock & roll
Modern girls and modern rock & roll
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers

(Radio On!)
I got the AM
(Radio On!)
Got the car, got the AM
(Radio On!)
Got the AM sound, got the
(Radio On!)
Got the rockin' modern neon sound
(Radio On!)
I got the car from Massachusetts, got the
(Radio On!)
I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night
(Radio On!)
I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts
I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the
I've got the, got the power of the AM
Got the, late at night, (?), rock & roll late at night
The factories and the auto signs got the power of modern sounds
Alright

Right, bye bye!

[Marcus Bales]

For, who else, Coffee:

Coffee Grindin’ Blues
Bessie Jackson

Ain't nobody, it ain't nobody
Ain't nobody in town can grind a coffee like mine

I drink so much coffee, till I grind it in my sleep
I drink so much coffee, I grind it in my sleep
And when it get like that, you know it can't be beat

It's so doggone good that it made me bite my tongue
It's so doggone good it made me bite my tongue
Will keep it for my daddy, ain't gonna give nobody none

I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
I ain't ever loved it this-a way before
And I hope the Lord that I won't love it any more

I've got so now that I can't control my mind
I've got so now that I can't control my mind
I go to bed blue and I get up cryin'

It's so doggone good that it made me talk out of my head
It's so doggone good it made me talk out of my head
And it's better to me than any that I have ever had

Now I grind my coffee, at the 2 and 3 dollars a pound
I grind my coffee, at the 2 and 3 dollars a pound
And it ain't no mo' cheap like mine in town

It's so doggone good until it'll make you bite your tongue
It's so doggone good that it'll make you bite your tongue
And I'm a coffee grindin' mama and won't you let me grind you some?
