Come on everybody...sing your favorite song!!!

[Steamboat_Kevin]

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part’ll go fine.
Fly down to mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in new york.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in new york

Half of the time we’re gone but we don’t know where,
And we don’t know here.

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you’ve been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in new york,
The only living boy in new york.

Well since Speck is having fun with the TV Themes, let me join in (btw, I love the ones you put!)

---------------------------------

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

 

[DDuckFan130]

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

 

[GenerationX]

Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me.
I'm livin' on the air in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, WKRP.

Got kind o' tired of packin' and unpackin',
Town to town, up and down the dial.
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
Just baby, think of me once in a while.

I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.

 

[GenerationX]

You walk on the moon float like a balloon
You see it's never too late and it's never too soon
Take it from me what it's like to be. In living color.

And how would you feel knowin' prejudice was obsolete
And all mankind danced to the exact beat
And at night it was safe to walk down the street.

Everybody here is equally kind in living color.
What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine in living color.

And how would you feel knowin' everybody was your friend
From thin to thick and through thick and thin
This egotistical trip could come to an end

 

[stitch rocks]

So no one told you life was gonna be this way. [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

I'll be there for you!
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you!
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight,
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great,
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell when the world has brought you down to your knees.

I'll be there for you!
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you!
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don’t change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don’t you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day

My favorite song of all-time (also featured in Steamboat_Kevin's signature):

I can`t believe the news today
Oh, I can`t close my eyes
And make it go away

How long, how long
Must we sing this song
How long, how long

Cause tonight
We can be as one, tonight

Broken bottles
Under children`s feet
Bodies strewn across
The dead end street

But I won`t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up
Against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Alright, let`s go

And the battle`s just begun
There`s many lost
But tell me who has won

The trench is dug
Within our hearts
And mothers, children
Brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long, how long
Must we sing this song
How long, how long

Cause tonight
We can be as one
Tonight, tonight...

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, bloody Sunday)

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And it`s true
We are immune
When fact is fiction
And TV, reality

And today the millions cry
We eat and drink
While tomorrow they die

Sunday, bloody Sunday

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won on

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And here's #6 on my all-time list (I am obsessive enough to have actually created my own Top 500 song list in Excel back in 2000 for songs from 1955-1995; I did not include songs from 1996-2000 because I thought I couldn't be as objective due to recency):

Hey, hey, hey, hey
There`ll be food
On the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey
There'll be pay
In your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out
It is crunched up and broken
A life that is led is
No more than a token
Who`ll strike the flint upon
The stone and tell me why

If I yell out at night
There`s a reply of bruised silence
The screen is no comfort
I can`t speak my sentence
They blew the lights at
Heaven`s gate and
I don`t know why

(CHORUS)
But if I work all day
At the blue sky mine
(There`ll be food
On the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down
On the blue sky mine
(There`ll be pay
In your pocket tonight)

The candy store paupers
Lie to the share holders
They`re crossing their fingers
They pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is
Breaking up the sky

So I`m caught at the junction
Still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow
Keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket
Can keep me for another night

And if the blue sky mining company
Won`t come to my rescue
If the sugar refining
Company won`t save me
Who`s gonna save me
Who`s gonna save me
Who`s gonna save me

(CHORUS)

And some have sailed
From a distant shore
And the company takes
What the company wants
And nothing`s as precious
As a hole in the ground

Who`s gonna save me
Who`s gonna save me
I pray that sense
And reason brings us in
Who`s gonna save me
Who`s gonna save me
We`ve got nothing to fear

In the end
The rain comes down
In the end
The rain comes down
Washes clean the streets
Of a blue sky town

She comes in colors ev’rywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She comes in colors ev’rywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev’rywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots her colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev’rywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

And She will be loved
And She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

She will be loved
She will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say good bye.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is You
And the reason is You
And the reason is You
And the reason is You
And the reason is You

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

 

[stranger]

I'm not your doormat, your floormat
So don't wipe your feet on me
I'm not the only Garibaldi
Well there's more fish in the sea
I'm not your puppy, your goldfish
So don't treat me like a pet
Hey I'm not your butterfly
So don't chase me with your net

I'm not your kneaded eraser
So don't you wear me down
I'm not your sledge, uh sledge hammer
I'm no tool, that you pound
I'm not your blacktop, for hopscotch
So don't jump all over me
I'm not the place where the dogs roam
At the bottom of the tree

Don't you treat me like I have no feelings
Don't you treat me like that, I have feelings

Don't treat me like that
Don't you treat me like that
Don't treat me like that
Don't you treat me like that!

Uh yeah yeah oh oh na uh uh

Woo hoo ooh ooh

I'm not your carefree, nor sugarless
Like the gum on your shoe,
I'm not the ring 'round your finger
Nor am I wrapped around you
I'm not your shoe string, your rope thing
So don't tie me in a knot
I'm not your asphalt, with oil spots
So don't use me as a parking lot

Don't you treat me like I have no feelings
Don't you treat me like that, I have feelings
Don't you treat me like I have no feelings
Yeah feelings feelings feelings feelings huh!

 

[DDuckFan130]

They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
Don't play innocent with me
You know it's not just fun and games
When I look into your eyes
So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it
Step by step there's nothing to it

1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine

Come out of your shell boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love
And no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once you won't regret it
Want my love just come and get it

1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine

So no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once you won't regret it
Take my love just come and get it

1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine

1-2-3-4 come on baby
5-6-7 times
You got to give me your love
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine

1-2-3-4
5-6-7
8-9-10-11

1-2-3-4

[stranger]

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ol me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights

Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear

'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes

I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype

Oh...I've had it up to here!
Oh...am I making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some

I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison

Oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to!!
Oh...I've had it up to here!

 

[GenerationX]

You had the best
But you gave her up
'Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought cloudy shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not the easy
The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last You broke the set
Now there's only singles

There's no looking back
This time I mean it

You're by yourself
All by yourself
You have no one else
You're by yourself

 

[stranger]

You and your museum of lovers
The precious collection you've housed in your covers
My simpleness threatened by my own admission

And the bags are much too heavy
In my insecure condition
My pregnant mind is fat full with envy again

But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Wanted and adored by attractive women
Bountiful selection at your discretion
I know I'm diving into my own destruction

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying

'Cause I love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
I'm on your list with all your other women
But I still love to wash in your old bathwater
You make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

Why do the good girls always want the bad boys?

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions

'Cause I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Love to think that you couldn't love another
Share a toothbrush...you're my kind of man
I still love to wash in your old bathwater
Make me feel like I couldn't love another
I can't help it...you're my kind of man

No I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I still love to wash in your old bathwater

 

[stitch rocks]

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, 'Stay with me tonight'
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Couse I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you...

 

[stitch rocks]

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know that my dreams will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep goin' on
Starting out on a journey

Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

 

[DDuckFan130]

Oh yeah, uh-huh
Yeah
Won’t ya dance

Clocks strikes upon the hour
and the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
how to chase my blues away

I've done alright up till now
it's the light of the day that shows me how
And when the night falls
my loneliness calls

Ohhhhh! I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love
and lost my senses
spinning through the town
Soon or later the fever ends
and I wind up feeling down

I need a man who'll take a chance
on a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
my lonely heart calls

Oh wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
(Somebody who somebody who)somebody who loves me
(Somebody who somebody who)will hold me in his arms
I need a man who'll take a chance
on a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
my lonely heart calls

Oh wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Yeah
Don’t you wanna dance with me baby
Don’t you wanna dance with me boy
Don’t you wanna dance with me baby

with somebody who loves me

don't you wanna dance
say you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance...
with somebody who loves me
