THE APOCALYPSE

We are deep into it now.

Key Quote: Rosie O'Donnell is featured on an interpretation of Elton John's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."

(Thanks to Scott Nedwick, who states that this "has to be about the scariest damn thing I've ever heard")

Please, Dave, I'm begging you.

Shot me now.

[Jeff Meyerson]

shoot

[Annie Where-but-here]

*shoots another 'o' up to jeffie*

maybe Rosie does a duet with the Trump.

[AmerInParis]

'way to go, Rosie! ;-)

[kibby F5™]

*raises left hand*

Save the watch! It's getting deep in here!

[DeskDiva]

Um, no, Jeff. A shot is better. *passes the Wild Turkey* Here. Try this.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Good point, DD.

Her "singing" with BM just...it...

*brain explodes*

[fivver]

Don't go churning my bowels...

[Siouxie]

WHY oh WHY??? Rosie AND BM in one thread???

*goes back to click on snake-eating man's video*

[DeskDiva]

*snork @ fivver* Too late!

Now WHERE did I put that Pepto™...?

[Meanie the Blue]

Teenage Australian convenience store parking lot loiterers, beware!

[AmerInParis]

Well now I have the original "Don't go breaking my heart" stuck in my brain -- ARGHHHHH! -- as well as all manner of unpleasant (and one or two pleasant) 70s flashbacks. Overall, this explains why I feel a bit queasy.

Sigh. I was an idealistic teenager in the 70s. And,if I do say so myself, I had a very good figure and GREAT legs! Now I have to repeat to myself that at 49 I have hardly any winkles and nice brown eyes, and I stop right about there.

PS While I like many of Sir Elton's other songs, I always LOATHED this one. That's why I say yay Rosie because she certainly can't make it any worse and may at least provide a little comic relief.

You go, Rosie!

"the project will be available as an 18-track single-disc set and as a two-disc set with a 14-song Dual Disc (CD/DVD) and a nine-song bonus audio CD."

What? No 8-track?

[kibby F5™]

*is pissed about the lack of 8-track version too*

[AmerInParis]

OK, so apparently DGBMHeart was stored in my brain under "bad 70s songs", so my brain has now dished out "Afternoon Delight" and I just know that "Muskrat Love" is next in the lineup.

Followed by "Having My Baby".

[Annie Where-but-here]

Rosie & the Donald duet-

Don't go combin' my part
I couldn't if I tried
Baby if I get restless
Rosie, you're not my kind.

Don't go bein' so smart
You take the weight off, fat-ty
Donald, when you knocked on my door
I called you 'donkey.'

Nobody knows it
When I was down
You dissed my crown.
No you don't know shit
Rich from the start
Comb over your part.
Oooooh, I told you don't start.

So don't go stakin' my heart
I won't go stakin' your heart
Don't go stakin' my heart.

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody loves us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can fake it

So don't miss any meals for me
You put the fight in my life
You put the gays to the flame
I've got your hair in my sights...

[Jeff Meyerson]

AmerInParis: I hate you now.

[Siouxie]

LOLs and *snorks* to Annie!!

[Just Ducky]

Good one, Annie! *Snork*

[AmerInParis]

Why, Jeff? You don't have any 70s songs running through your head now, do you? ;-)

Oh, if I could just access the part of my brain that's stored "MacArthur Park" (Richard Harris version). I know, I know... I'm the only one on the planet who loves that song.

Not to mention, "Feelings".

Woah, woah, Woah WOAOAOUH! Feelings! Nothing more than feelings....

[Siouxie]

Amer, I may just have to go to Paree and *smack* you with a bagette!!

LE BRAIN BLEACH!! LE PRONTO!

[Siouxie]

and then I'll smack you again with a baguette!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Amer - "C'est un monde tres petit, vraiment...."

[Bãrön vønKlýff]

Not only did I send this in early last week, I also posted it in a related apocalypse thread last week too.

*pout - I wanted credit for warning of this disaster /pout*

That being said, Snorks all around, especially at Annie's ditty.

[Bãrön vønKlýff]

..Oh, and did y'all hear the one about the Man Eating Badgers?

[AmerInParis]

Anni and Souixie,

How about "Billy, Don't be a Hero"?

Et maintenant? Vous les deux avez encore besoin de Javel pour le cerveau? Trés vite?

Et oui, c'est vraiment une monde trés petite, mais mon numero de téléphone et mes coordinées ne sont pas inscrire dans les Pages Jaunes.

;-)

[JayBee]

His last two albums of 50s and 60s hits weren't that bad--perfectly suited to his demographic, I would think. A true sign of the apocalypse would be if he picked other hits of the 70s...you know, the ones that can still induce LSD flashbacks and incredible pangs of guilt mixed with longing? If he took those songs on, then the end would truly be near. *imagines Barry Manilow singing "Comfortably Numb"*

I give the guy credit for being consistent and aware of his audience.

[Annie Where-but-here]

*le snorque* au Amer - c'est chouette, ca!

Baron, please quit staring at my ditty. It's snot polite.

For the Donald -
"See the hair, how big it's grown,
And friends, it hasn't been too long since,
It wasn't big."

[Siouxie]

uh...oui?

Annie, even *I* got that one....eeeeek!

le smack!

[Sean]

This is disturbing on so many different levels.. It's like the Perfect Storm fo gayness..NTTAWWT..

[Sean]

fo = of

[AmerInParis]

OK, OK. I confess -- when I was a romantic, idealistic teen-ager of the 70s, I loved Barry Manilow's music. Not all of it, but a lot of it.

[AmerInParis]

Perfect storm of gayness? (asks the token sapphist)??

And while I'm confessing to my atrocious musical taste ... I also like Wildfire (yes, I agree, killing frost is pretty stupid).

And I love squirrels.

And, and, and... I can't stand Watching Scotty Beam Me UP -- I mean, grow.

And I listen to FRENCH music!And enjoy it!!! Bwaaaaa!!

... off to take my medication now...

[Siouxie]

Amer, I have often admitted to liking his music when I was young and stoopid. Even to the point of going to one of his concerts. I have also admitted that drugs may or may not have been involved.

[AmerInParis]

And Annie,

I'm very impressed that you know "chouette".You seem to know a lot of French.

PS I am now listening to Klaatu. Hands up anyone who remembers them.

[AmerInParis]

I went to an Osmonds concert when I was thirteen -- but then, I lived in very clean-cut, predominently Mormon, Mesa, Arizona. Needless to say, the Osmonds were HUGELY popular.

[Siouxie]

Amer, I was a huge HUGE fan of Donny Osmond but never saw them.

[Bethie]

I would love to kick the asses of all people responsible for that wretched piece of song called "Afternoon Delight".

[AmerInParis]

Siouxie,

A friend of mine was a HUGE, HUGE fan and based on her devotion and detailed knowledge, she was able to win a contest so she was one of 5 people who got to spend an hour or so backstage with the Osmonds.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Amer - thanks, I had a wonderful French teacher in high school. Merci beaucoup, Madame Wakefield!

Et Donny Osmond est le pire!

[SW]

LTTG, bit imho, this song (the original, of course) ranks way up ther in the "male/female rock/pop duet" category, along with several by marvin Gaye and his various partners.

And good woek to annie.
