Life's Misfortune - Name Dropping (Part 2)

Lyrics by Kool and the Gang

[Verse 1]
Conversation is going 'round
People talking 'bout the girl who's come to town
Lovely lady, pretty as can be
No one knows her name, she's just a mystery
I have seen her maybe once or twice
One thing I can say, ooh, she's very nice
She's a lady, one I really want to know
Somehow I've got to let my feelings show

[Chorus]
She's fresh (fresh), exciting
She's so exciting to me
She's fresh (fresh), exciting
She's so inviting to me, yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been thinking about the way you walk
Baby, ooh, I like the way you talk
Tell you something I really can't hide
Heaven must have sent you to be by my side
Fresh and lovely (fresh), like a dream come true
I'll give anything to spend the night with you
What a feeling and I can't stop it, baby
Miss frisky lady, take me away

[Chorus]
She's fresh (fresh), exciting
She's so exciting to me, yeah
She's fresh (fresh), exciting
She's so inviting to me, yeah

[Bridge]
Fresh as a summer breeze (a summer breeze)
She'll take you by surprise
She means so much to me
I'll do whatever to make her mine, baby

Oh yeah
Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-wee
She's fresh
She's fresh, she's so fresh
She's fresh, she's so fresh

[Outro]
She's fresh (she's so fresh)
Fresh as a summer breeze
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
She means so much to me
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
She's fresh (she's so fresh)
I want to take her by the hand
(she's so fresh)
And pray she'll understand
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
Cause I love the way she walks
(she's so fresh)
And ooh baby I love the way she talks
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
I've got something and I hope she'll understand
(she's so fresh)
Miss frisky lady
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
She's fresh (she's so fresh)
She's so fresh and I love that lady
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
Oh how I love her so
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

She's fresh (she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)
(she's so fresh)

Lyrics by JGF copyright 2024

Here's a song about my grade-school crush, 
a tom-boy so cute she could make me blush.
It was the last day, and we were running fast.
Winning ribbons and, havin a blast...

There were soccer games and high fives
I was wanting kisses... but too shy.
We used to roll around in the grass, 
And looking back, I should have made a pass...

There was the talent show we both were in.
Yeah, California Girls in the gymnasium.
You were the cutest girl I've ever seen.
Settin' the bar high... before our teens.

Like Shirley Temple with her curly hair.
or, Christie Brinkley with a gorgeous stare.
She's the kindest girl you'll ever meet...
And, a future home coming queen.

I used to see her tanning in the back yard.
while sittin' next to the pool... 
She was lookin so hot, yet stayin' cool...
Oh my God... she's just so beautiful.

Your blue house, and our back yards. 
Alley way flirting it up... so hard. 
Throwing life savers in paper planes.
Just to say... how sweet you are.

I could see your house from my back door.
And every time I saw you, it made me want you even more.
I used to ride my bike all around the block.
Just to see... if you were home or not...

let's hear it for the boy...
was playing on the toy... 
radio.... 

In the drive way you would play, 
and roller skate all day... 
to the radio...

Like Shirley Temple with her curly hair.
or, Christie Brinkley with a gorgeous stare.
She's the kindest girl you'll ever meet...
And, the future home coming queen.

I used to see her tanning in the back yard.
while sittin', next to, the pool... 
She was lookin so hot, yet stayin' cool...
Oh my God... she's just so beautiful.
She's so beautiful...

Jean jackets... and Keds white shoes.
Little boys rocking their... underoos.
Your sisters were perverts I swear...
Tryin to see the color of my underwear.

We were playing tag, and truth or dare...
We're so young, that no one cares.
Staying out, all, night, long...
Until we see the streetlights come on.

With parents gone the coast is clear.
We're in a panel van, drinking a beer.
Bubble windows, and velvet seats...
Livin' some hippie van fantasy...
Just a fantasy...

And that first time, French kiss...
side of house, by the gate.
Oh great, big mistake...
I was with the wrong girl... so irate.

Lost again, to my friend.
Hoping later it might end...
No luck, I'm stuck, without the one, 
I'm lovestruck...

Weekends at the skating rink
Gotta lucky charm with your name.
Our first date, holding hands...
It's a couples skate, slow dance.
Disco balls and sock hops.
DJ's playing pop rock.
Animotion, Loverboy...
Madonna with her lucky star.

Wearing crazy eighties shades.
In lots of colors and weird shapes.
Dayglo pink and yellow bright...
and turquoise just like, Miami Vice...

Welcome to the Neighborhood - First Crush

Lyrics by the Go Go's

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
That you won't be in

When you looked at me
I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along
That time would tell

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

[Instrumental Interlude]

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Vacation

Lyrics by JGF copyright 2024

[Verse 1]
If feels like yesterday...
when we were there.
Girls were wearing shoulder pads
and teasing their hair.
Posters plastered on your bedroom walls
No caller ID, we were making prank phone calls.

[Verse 2]
Acid washed jeans, rolled real tight
Sneaking out of windows, late at night.
Boys and girls were cruisin' in their cars
from Sonic, down to the gas station...
By the house of Sight-N-Sound, we turn around, and head back down Santa Fe. 
Some were drinkin', some were screamin'
Hey baby... what's your name?

[Verse 3]
And some were trying to impress,
with the bumpin' beats of the bass,
coming from the trunk of their car. 
Going, boom boom boom...

While others drove muscle cars, 
revving engines and squealing tires,
showing how fast they can go.
Va-room Va-room Va-room...

Hey baby... what's your name? 

[Chorus]
Tube tops, and daisy dukes.
bleached blonde hair, and fake tans too.
If you want to know where the action is,
you've got to get out...  
This Is It!

It seems we were growing up a little too fast,
And now we sit back, and remember the past. 
Wishing things weren't so different now...
Feels like technology ruined it all somehow...

[Verse 4]
We used to find endless things to do...
like on-top of Indian Rock, makin out with you.
Maybe a dinner and a date before it gets too late.
Eat some pizza at the Scheme before we do our thing.

[Verse 5]
How bout a round of miniature golf? 
or a midnight stroll through the park?
Maybe today ride our bikes down the dike, 
or we can do whatever we like.
Or meet at the Mid-State-Mall,
the smell of Karmelkorn fills the halls
And if you have a roll of quarters or two
why don't you take me to the arcade with you? 

[Chorus 2]
Flashing lights, and crazy sounds, 
There were people everywhere, all around.
If you want to know where the action is,
you should know by now... 
This Is It!

And now we know life happens too fast,
We all sit back, and remember the past. 
thinking of the things that made us laugh,
Sometimes... 
You know... 
I want to go back...

Welcome to the Neighborhood - Yesterday

Lyrics by Dwight Yoakam

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I've got bruises on my memory
I've got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

Oh, I

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere

I'm a thousand
I'm a thousand
