Spinal Tap has plenty of age to it. Rolling eyes

It's a classic. "It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none...none more black" I love Nigel. Yay.

Actually, one of my favorite lines relates to people who blow off crits:

Marty: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?

Now I need to go watch that again. Dammit. Still can't believe none of you got it. Sad sad sad. Missin' out on a classic.

A classic doesn't have to be overly old. It's still a classic.

Since this thread died, fine. Here's some new lyrics that hopefully will better meet such high standards. Razz

So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake 'em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity
So now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one
You get to feelin' weary when the work day's done
Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
If you're in a fix
Come back baby

You better get yourself a partner
Go down to the concert or the local bar
Check the local newspaper
Chances are you won't have to go too far
Yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beat's so strong
The crowd will be swaying and singing along
And all you got to do is get in, into the mix
If you need a fix
Come back baby

Oh the bands still playing it loud and lean
Listen to the guitar player making it scream
All you got to do is just make that scene tonight
Hey tonight

Well now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one
Feel a little tired, feeling under the gun
Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks
Get into your kicks
Come back baby

Said you can come back baby

Here, this should be easy ^_^ :

Take a bow
Pack on powder
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights
Pay an audience to care
"Impress me" personality

Still and transfixed
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort of America

Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction

Quick, your time is almost up
Make all forget that they're the moth
Edging in towards the flame
Burn into obscurity

why thank you Alex...here goes:

I dont want to see you go
I dont even want to be there
I will cover up my eyes
and pray it goes away
Youve only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming please stop screaming

I dont like to hear you cry
You just dont know how deep that cuts me
So I will cover up my eyes
and it will go away
Youve only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming please stop screaming

(nos)
(nos) I hear my name
(nos) is someone callin me I hear my name
(nos) that icy breath that whispers screams of pain

I dont want for you to die
but if thats the way God has planned you
Ill put pennies on your eyes
and it will go away...see
Youve only lived a minute of your life
I must be dreaming

(nos) is someone calling me...no
(nos) I hear a voice
(nos) I hear my name
(nos) someone callin me I hear my name
(nos) what do you want
(nos) What Do You Want, What Do You Want, What Do You Want, ahhh!
(nos)
(nos)
(nos) I hear my name!

great song for the assylum...(nos) is name of song
name it and the artist and for extra credit the album.
not bad for writting this from memory.

Haha, yeah, you can't write me off as a hairsprayed, acid-washed, purely hair metal fan. Cooper, The Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Sabbath, the list of non hair metal things I like goes on and on.

Hair metal just stands out more. Nobody cares if you like Aerosmith, but say you like Warrant and there's always a very...interesting reaction.

o thanks! er i really don't know what you guys will or won't know... um here's a really good song from the 90s. it was a pretty popular one-hit wonder deal

one, two princes kneel before you
(that's what i said now)
princes, princes who adore you
(just go ahead now)
one has diamonds in his pockets
(and that sounds great now)
this one, said he wants to buy you rockets
(ain't in his head now)

this one, he's got a princely racket
(that's what i said now)
got some big seal upon his jacket
(ain't in his head now)
you marry him, your father will condone you
(how 'bout that now)
you marry me, your father will disown you
(he'll eat his hat now)

marry him, or marry me
i'm the who loves you, baby can't you see?
i ain't got no future or family tree
but i know what a prince and lover ought to be
i know what a prince and lover ought to be

so if you want to call me baby
just go ahead now
and if you want to tell me maybe
just go ahead now
and if you wanna buy me flowers
just go ahead now
and if you'd like to talk for hours
just go ahead now

yea... um various parts of the song get repeated but that's the basic song. sorry if parts are wrong- i just did it from memory. i hope someone knows it...

wow you got me...although I know the song.....it almost sounds like it could have been from the '80s. kinda retro in that way. Ill figure this one unless someone beats me to it.

good one

Spin Doctors - Two Princes...^^

Here's on you guys might not have heard of...

Hands are red with your blame
Megaphone screaming my name
Whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above

I've seen what you're doing
Destroying puppet strings
To my soul

It's by one of my favorite bands so I hope you guys get it!!!!

I know if I go
things will be a lot better for her
I had things planned
but her folks wouldnt let her
