Cheeeeese alert! EC song dedications...

perfectblue · Post by **perfectblue** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 8:53 am

Has this one been done before?

Picture this: we're back in high school... at a school dance, slipping a scrap of paper to the "DJ"... or something.

Dedicate an Elvis song to another board member and tell us why. Go!

I'll start.

To Rope: not a song but an album. GET HAPPY!! Fuck Bush, fuck 'em all... though 1,000 JPY says that you're the next one on the board to "go completely North" on us.

xoxox, blue

I'm happiest when I'm fucking bush, but I can't fuck 'em all, and I'll probably never reach the "North" pole, at least not without assistance.

But thank you...

...and to you perfect blue, who mistakes political unhappiness with personal unhappiness, I dedicate 20% Amnesia, a song about how everything is the same as it ever was, and about the handiness of being forgetful, and forgiving.

Wanna send out this number to my internet pal Plaything or Pet...

The Leaving of Liverpool (yeah he's sung it)

cos I always like being reminded of the bestestest city in England, and she lives there every day. Aah to walk down bohemian old Bold Street on a cold Saturday morning once more.

< 0,

That's the funniest and most coherent post you've ever made.

To you, I dedicate Daddy Can I Turn This?

Daddy I turned that crazy british phrase!

Wow Rope, thank you. What an honor!!

I'm listening to Get Happy right now, standing around with small feet and broad shoulders, all orange and green, trying to get drunk enough to appreciate North.

5five Gears in Reverse

Five gears in reverse
For girls looking at the big lift
Somebody send out for the night nurse
Please don't stick me on the late shift
If you don't know by now
Nobody's gonna tell you
If you don't know by now
The shock will probably kill you

But if your patience is corrupted and you still cannot decide
You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath

All of this acceleration is driving you to death

Five gears in reverse
You think i don't know what i'm doing
Another fashionable first
Like walking down the road to ruin
But if you're safe and sound
Don't let me interrupt you
And if you're gagged and bound
Well how can i corrupt you

There was an element of mucking-aroundness in there somewhere yes.

I went to the doctors yesterday you see with my chest pains, he said I had acute angina!!!!!!

I said 'thanks very much, but wot about the chest pains?'

So nice of perfectblue to wish such an lovely song upon me. I wish you'd known me when I was alive!

But, seriously, I have been working on an act. I refer you to the BURNING QUESTIONS thread. Dangerfield didn't start until he was pushing fifty. So nice of perfectblue to encourage this, even it was inadvertant.

The north pole reference was sort of from something CopeFan said. I'm feeling very good about this.

For the wonderful sense of optimism that perfectblue has given me today, I honor her with North, the whole concept, which it seems that I am finally coming around to.

Anyway, folks, I'm outta here. I'll be thinking of dedications.

I'm gonna take a little trip
down paradise's endless shores
they say that travel broadens the mind
till you can't get your head out the door

I wrote a little dedication to Mr Monk, and meant to post it here but posted on his Trainspotters.......... thread (which is what it was about) by mistake, if you want to read it go there (it's in the annexe).

Oh, I've never had a song dedicated to me before, now I'm all atwitter. Thanks, dear boy.

When Elvis toured with The Confederates, the tour reached the Edinburgh Playhouse on 1 February 1987. I was in the front row of the balcony and was in high spirits after a momentous day at the football the day before.

Anyway, Elvis announced that he would do a new song, if that was alright with us. In a moment of blind, cringe-making stupidity, I bawled out "NO" at the top of my voice.

So of course, Elvis said that he would play the song for everybody except that guy, meaning me. By this time I was attempting to hide under my seat.

I don't know what he played and the tape is probably in the attic somewhere, but I can't face trying to relive that infamous moment.

87...why? Did the Accies win something that year?

I was at the first league game at New Douglas, for the Queens 2-1 win! When you gonna stop people watching the game from outside the ground by standing up that slope?

Was that you at the concert the other week that screamed 'We wanna thank you' then Gil?

Gilbert · Post by **Gilbert** » Wed Oct 15, 2003 4:51 pm

It was the day after Accies defeated the Graeme Souness led Rangers 1-0 in the cup at Castle Greyskull, and Elvis dedicated "The Poisoned Rose" to Souness.

As for that game at NDP, it was actually 1-1. A temporary setback on Queens' road to fame and fortune presumably. But the freeloaders still watch for hee-haw from Sainsbury's Hill.
