Leisure Suit Lyrics and Video Lounge and PPWC Karaoke Bar

And then there was TC Atlantic.

ohmigosh! my brother was a big fan of TC Atlantic. Freddy Freeman was one of the guys in that band. They did "20 years ago in Speedy's Kitchen". Seems like I met them at an autograph signing once, and they played a lot of the battle of the bands venues.

Some of these bands would play high school dances and car dealerships. I never could figure out what a car dealership wanted with a bunch of teenage girls hanging out in their dealership. None of us had any money. We barely had bus fare.

I'm still chatting with Vicky and I mentioned this to her. She thought that it brought out the middle-aged monied letches. Makes sense, but its creepy.

Teen Fair was always a blast. Start the day at the Bonne Bell makeover clinic. Then hang out and see who could "pick up" the most cute boys - exchanging names was what counted as "picking up". Our friend Connie picked up 30 boys one day! She was a skinny, California-style blonde, with a figure like Twiggy - right when that was "in".

We went to Dayton's when the Monkees were there signing autographs. I never was too nutz about the Monkees, but any excuse to go somewhere...

Bus fare and sore feet...we went everywhere by bus, and barefoot, too.

Yep, some great memories of the late 60s.

And to think that was 40 years ago already!

Don't blink or we'll be 90.

I remember my dad talking about seeing Zappa play at the U of M, someplace one time...

he said that at one point in the show, each member left the stage, one by one, during a song..... and the only one left was Zappa... just kicking ass with his guitar....

and then before you knew it, all the other guys had come back on stage, without you noticing...

he also said that he saw some other band - the name escapes me right now - play there too, and one of the dudes in the band, was so messed up on drugs/booze that he fell backwards off the stage, and broke his arm...

none of the other members in the band, even noticed, and played the rest of the song, and part of the next one without him..

eags & terry- those were exciting memories to read - nice detailed memories with the busses and barefeet :smile: cool!

My friend Vicky and I spent the summer of '69 on the East Side. We used to take the bus, spend the day at Phalen beach, then hang out with a bunch of kids we'd gotten to know through her sister's BF. Once in awhile, someone would get daddy's car and take us home, but a lot of times we took the bus home too, transferring downtown. My parents were working, my grandparents lived with us, it was simpler for everyone if I wasn't home, as long as there was no hint that I was out getting into trouble. Some days we told them we were candy-striping at St. Luke's. Odd that they never questioned the ever-deepening tan, the wet swimsuits, or our original assignment to candy-stripe just one evening a week. One time our friend Roxy got a little sunburned on her face - told her mom the candy-striper ladies took us on an appreciation picnic. I don't think they were stupid - probably more like they'd just rather not deal with it. We were really sweatin' it, though, the night we were on the 10 o'clock news - at the beach, when we were supposedly candy-striping all day. We were just out having fun, but we knew we'd never have gotten permission.

any of you guys remember a year, when some kids stole an aligator from Como Zoo, and let it go at Phalen?

like back in the 60s?

My dad and my grandma used to talk about that...

my dad said that he knew the guys, or something...

I remember them saying that some guy from the zoo had to go out and basically wrestle the thing, and put it back into his truck...

the kids ended up being turned in, and had to do some community service - which ended up being the job of cleaning up animal crap at the zoo...

I didn't do it...

Actually I don't recall this either, but security wasn't a strong suit at the Como Zoo of that era.

I always have this dream of seeing Zappa play at the old Armory in DT Mpls. What do you think he opened with? :wink: :cool:

probably, that "You're an asshole" song, off of Sheik Yerbouti... haha...

nah....

I would love to have gotten to hear them do the entire Joes Garage album, live...

they should make a musical/play out of that... I'd pay to see it.

don't eat the yellow snow :eek:

Terry (and other TC Atlantic fans)! Take a look at this:

http://www.geocities.com/badcatrecords/TCatlantic.htm

Do you still have your TC Atlantic album?

My brother had/has one like that - I just e-mailed him to see if he still has it.

Funny, but the webpage doesn't mention Speedy's Kitchen. But I'd forgotten they were from St. Paul Park, and it was fun to recall some of the other song titles.

I don't have my TC Atlantic album any longer. Too funny that it's still around somewhere.

And even funnier that the price is $150.00.

Crew Slut of course.

I like the way that Dennis Leary sang the 'You're an Asshole' song. Is it the same?

<edit> That was I'm an asshole

Video

heres the lyrics for the song I was thinkin of...

Frank Zappa - "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes"

Hey, now, hey!

Hey! Do you know what you are?

You're an asshole! ASSHOLE!

Some of you might not agree

'Cause you probably likes a lot of misery

But think a while and you will see . . .

Broken hearts are for assholes

Broken hearts are for assholes

Are you an asshole?

Broken hearts are for assholes

Are you an asshole too?

Whatcha gonna do, 'cause you're an asshole . . .

No no no, yeah yeah yeah

I said

You . . . are . . . an ASSHOLE!

Maybe you think you're a lonely guy

'N maybe you think you're too tough to cry

So you went to The Grape,

Just to give it a try

And Dagmar
Without a doubt, the ugliest sonofabitch I've ever seen in my life

Was his name . . .
One Two Three Four!

The whiskers sticking out from underneath of his Pancake make-up
And yet he was a beautiful lady

Nearly drove you insane
Let's talk about Leather: LEATHERRRRRR

And so you kissed a little sailor
Tex Abel, starring in the latest Shepperton Production:

Who had just blew in from Spain
"Sir Richard Pump-A-Loaf"

You sniffed the reeking buns of Angel
The tale of a demented bread-boffer

And acted like it was cocaine
Cucumber pud annexed to a fine whole-wheat loaf

You were dazzled by the exciting new costume of Ko-Ko
Then on Tuesday night, Ceasar's back in town

In a way you can't explain
Facing off in a no-holds-barred tag team grudge match

With Kona . . .

And so you worked the wall with Michael
Three-hundred and seventy-nine pounds of Samoan dynamite

Which gave your back an awful strain
Volcanic Hell

But you came back on Sunday for the gong shows
Next Thursday, teen town's finest

But you forgot what I was sayin'

'Cause you're an asshole, You're an asshole

That's right

You're an asshole, you're an asshole

Yes, yes

You're an asshole, you're an asshole

That's right

You're an asshole, you're an asshole

Well, now you been to The Grape, been to The Chest

Now I think you know what you are: you're an asshole

You say you can't live with what you've been through

Well, ladies you can be an asshole too

You might pretend you ain't got one on the bottom of you

But don't fool yerself girl

It's lookin' at you

Don't fool yerself girl

It's winkin' at you

Don't fool yerself girl

It's blinkin' at you

That's why I say

I'm gonna ram it, ram it, ram it

Ram it up yer poop chute
Corn hole

Ram it, ram it, ram it

Ram it up yer poop chute
Fist fuck

Ram it, ram it, ram it

Ram it up yer poop chute
Wrist-watch: Crisco

Ram it, ram it, ram it

Ram it up yer poop chute
Pud!

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer poop chute

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer poop chute

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer poop chute

(Ay ay ay ay)

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer poop chute

(Ay ay ay ay)

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer poooop chute

(Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay)

Don't fool yerself, girl,

It's goin' right up yer . . .

thats probably my favorite one on that album... but its full of good stuff...

I've got the cd version, as well as the record....

I can remember, when my parents were still together - my dad playing Frank Zappa stuff, when I was a little kid, on the record player, and my mom getting mad that he was playig it, while I was around....

very entertaining video!

For all who missed dime bags old lady getting her tattoo on LA INK!! check it out it is a nice pice of work!!!

She was a skinny, California-style blonde, with a figure like Twiggy - right when that was "in".



:lipsealed:

Is toothpick thin ever going to go away? I am not jealous or anything, I just don't want anyone getting slivers.

I have a goal to be "willowy" again someday, but toothpick thin? Nope. Besides, I think medallion hunting would be too cold if I was skinny.

See now thats just Sick!!! thats TOO THIN!!!! NO one should ever be that thin!!! but you know the waked out Cali.types that say its right and everyone thinks its ok!!

yeah, for us normal weight girls - when we were teens - it was tough to find clothes that fit - everything was for the flat-chested, emaciated figure. glad the twiggy craze didn't last too long!

RANCID LYRICS

"Time Bomb"

If you wanna make the move

Then you better come in

It's just the ability to reason

That wears so thin

Living and dying and the stories that are true

Secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through

[Chorus]

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

[x2]

Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living

Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives

Like a cat 15 years old take him to the youth authority home

First thing you learn is that you got to make it

In this world alone

[Chorus]

Now he's gotten out he's gotten free he's gotta go gotta car

21 years old he's runnin' numbers from the bar

His pager's beepin' he's got in deep in

Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'

[Chorus]

The boyÂ’s a time bomb

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below

His eye his mother cries she knows that he is strong enough

To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac it's midnight sunroof is down

Three shots rung out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned.

[Chorus x2]

Ohh, time bomb

NICKELBACK LYRICS

"Rockstar"

I'm through with standing in line

To clubs we'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth

And I'm never gonna win

This life hasn't turned out

Quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house

On an episode of Cribs

And a bathroom I can play baseball in

And a king size tub big enough

For ten plus me

(So what you need?)

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit

And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

Gonna join the mile high club

At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there, done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

My own star on Hollywood Boulevard

Somewhere between Cher and

James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus:]

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

In the VIP with the movie stars

Every good gold digger's

Gonna wind up there

Every Playboy bunny

With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

Sign a couple autographs

So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have the quesadilla, on the house)

I'm gonna dress my ass

With the latest fashion

Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

Blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus]

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs

That offend the censors

Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser

I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs

Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

[Chorus]

And we'll hide out in the private rooms

With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

They'll get you anything with that evil smile

Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

The girls have been playing this tune all night long.

<----- Proud papa :smile:

Science fiction Double feature.

Frank has built and lost his creature.

Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet.

The servents gone to a distant planet.

Wuh,oh,oh,oh.

At the late night, double feature picture show.

I want to go,oh,oh.,oh.

To the late night double feature picture show.

I'm on a kick tonight

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0l6Y_8BJA4g

How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman

He's just a little brought down because when you knocked

He thought you were the candyman.

Don't get strung out by the way that I look,

Don't judge a book by its cover

I'm not much of a man by the light of day,

But by night I'm one hell of a lover

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

So let me show you around, maybe play you a sound

You look like you're both pretty groovy

Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal

We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie.

I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone?

We're both in a bit of a hurry.

We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car

We don't want to be any worry.

So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?

Well babies, don't you panic.

By the light of the night when it all seems alright

I'll get you a satanic mechanic.

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?

I could show you my favourite obsession.

I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan

And he's good for relieving my tension

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

So come up to the lab. And see what's on the slab.

I see you shiver with antici... pation!

But maybe the rain isn't really to blame

So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom.

Memories :smile:

Lazy Sunday wake up in the late afternoon

Call Parnell just to see how he's doin

Hello?

What up Parns?

Yo Samberg what's cracking?

You thinking what I'm thinking? (Narnia!)

Man it's happening.

But first my hunger pains, are sticking like duct tape.

Let's hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes.

No doubt that bakery's got all the bomb frostings.

I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling.

Two, no six, no twelve, baker's dozen!

I told you that I'm crazy for these cupcakes cousin.

Yo, where's the movie playing?

Upper West Side, dude.

Well, let's hit up Yahoo! Maps to find the dopest route.

I prefer Mapquest. (That's a good one, too.)

Google maps is the best. True that. (Double true!)

68th and Broadway (Step on it sucker!)

What you what to do Chris?

Snack attack motherfucker!

The Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

Yes, the Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

We love the Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

Pass that Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

Yo stop at that deli, the theater's overpriced.

You got the backpack? (Gonna pack it up nice.)

Don't want security to get suspicious.

Mr. Pibb and Red Vines equals Crazy Delicious.

Yo reach in my pocket, pull out some dough.

The girl acted like she'd never seen a ten before.

It's all about the Hamiltons baby.

Throw the snacks in the bag and I'm Ghost like Swayze.

Roll up to the theater. Ticket buying what we're handling.

You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're dropping Hamiltons.

Parked in our seats, movie trivia's the illest.

What Friends alum starred in films with Bruce Willis?

We answered so fast it was scary.

Everyone stared in awe when we screamed Matthew Perry.

Now quiet in the theater or it's going to get tragic.

We're about to get taken to a dream world of magic.

The Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

Yes, the Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

We love the Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

Pass that Chronic (What?) Cles of Narnia.

I might check it out.

It wasnt as good as I thought it was gonna be... although, those KISS rip off guys, trying to trash talk Sheila E., were pretty funny...

"we cant all play for Prince, sweet-heart"

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone

All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

:cool: :goofy: :wink: :sillygrin:

That one's for you, ice.. :sillygrin: :pbpt: :ooh:

Happy Halloween!

La Cucaracha, la Cucaracha,

Ya no puede caminar

Porque no tienne, porque le falta

Marijuana que fumar.

Una cosa me da risa

Pancho Villa sin camisa

Ya se van los carrancistas

Porque vienen los villistas.

La Cucaracha, la Cucaracha,

Ya no puede caminar

Porque no tienne, porque le falta

Marijuana que fumar.

Para sarapes, Saltillo

Chihuahua para soldados

Para mueres, Jalisco

Para amar, toditos lados.

La Cucaracha, la Cucaracha,

Ya no puede caminar

Porque no tienne, porque le falta

Marijuana que fumar.

I always got a kick out of the scene in the movie "What's Up, Doc?" where Howard and Judy are riding double on a grocery-delivery bicycle and they find themselves coming up on a parade in Chinatown, where the Chinese band is playing La Cucaracha, but with a definite Chinese influence. So many farces in that movie - one of my favorites - and I'm not usually much of a Babs fan.

we had to sing those songs that I posted - in spanish class, back during highschool...

I think Guantanamera is a really beautiful song, if done right... and I can never remember the womans name, that sang it, in the tape that we had to go off of, for the lyrics...

I've got an old record, by the Sandpipers - its a record of all spanish music that they put out, and they do a cover of Guantanamera on there....

Isnt the same thing though, as the one from school...

to this day, La Bamba, is my Karaoke song of choice...

(If you buy me enough beer)

I like almost anything that Ritchie Valens did, for that matter...

I think I'm gonna hafta go watch the DVD, later tonight, now that its in my head...

Where do you like to go for karaoke?

Next time I'm in town, we should do a cooler crew karaoke night.

we're do -

kelli and gordy have to come down for it!

I havent done it for quite a while now...

It always happens by chance, when we decide to go.... we'll be at a bar, and they'll have it going on, and sooner or later, somebody wants me to sing La Bamba.

usually starts out as a joke, until people realize that I know the lyrics, and can sing it pretty good.... then its "hey! look at the fat white dude, singin' spanish!!"....

I pissed off a mexican guy last summer at Governors, because he was doing a really crappy rendition of it, and I started singing along at the bar, and had everybodies attention....

we went to the North East Palace, over in North East MPLS, not too long ago, with one of my cousins and a buncha her friends, for her b-day bash, and they had some karaoke going on...

didnt get up and do much that night... but I hear they have it going on, quite often.....

let me know...if we can get a sitter we'll be there.

anyone hear of:

Paramore? The Starting Line?

or Set Your Goals?

what type of music are they? has anyone heard their music and what do you think of it?

sarah listens to them and wants to attend their concert at The Myth on Nov 2nd. I'm apprehensive for 2 reasons - its open to ALL ages and she wants to go with her girlfriend (NO ADULT- her friends mom offered to drop them off and pick them up).

(originally another girlfriend and her dad were gonna go to but they backed out). I dont want to chaperone!

heard this one a bit ago---- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain

The wind would whisper and I'd think of you

And all the tears you cried, that called my name

And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by

When love went blind and you would make me see

I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes

So that I knew you were there for me

Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand

Love letters in the sand - I remember you

Through the sleepless nights and every endless day

I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down

Wished ever after would be like this

You said I love you babe, without a sound

I said I'd give my life for just one kiss

I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand

Love letters in the sand - I remember you

Through the sleepless nights and every endless day

I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times

But that's the price we paid

And through it all we kept the promise that we made

I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain

Washed away a dream of you

But nothing else could ever take you away

'Cause you'll always be my dream come true

Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand

Love letters in the sand - I remember you

Through the sleepless nights and every endless day

I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand

Love letters in the sand - I remember you

Through the sleepless nights and every endless day

I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
