"Technologic" - Daft Punk

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, melt - upgrade it,
Charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pose it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, twitch - update it,
Name it, read it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, stop - format it.

"Lazy Day" - Spanky & Our Gang

Blue Sky, sunshine,
what a day to take a walk in the park.
Ice cream, daydream
till the sky becomes a blanket of stars.
What a day for pick-in' daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for hold in' hands and being with you.

Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honey bee ('neath a shady tree)

Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for you and me.

It's a toss up. :)

I realize that this is totally predictable, but sometimes that's what works.

Excerpted from that famous one-hit wonder of Napoleon XIV's:

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

Oh, and Wild Man Fisher's "Merry-Go-Round" is also quite suitable.

I like Penny's suggestion.

I was going to say- how about "It's Howdy Doody Time?"

[~FloweryFriend~]

I nominate "Heretics" by Andrew Bird:

Born host to a tongue
So sing a song about it
Held a breath for too long
Till we're half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong
Then you can blame us for it
Turn the clamp on a phone
So we're down about it
And tell us all about it
We're so in doubt about it

How about some credit now
Where credit is due
For the damage that was done
We have wrought upon ourselves and others
With this blow, ambitious gun
And all the pratfalls can be fun
Encores can be fatal

And then I hear you say,
Thank God it's fatal. Thank God it's fatal.
Not shy
Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal. Thank God.
Thank God it's fatal. Thank God it's fatal.
Not shy
Not shy and fatal, not shy and fatal.

Wait just a second now
It's not all that bad
Are we not having fun?
You make your mountains of handkerchiefs
Where the mascara always runs
So be careful when you're done
You're bound to get post-needle
Wait, did I just hear you say...

Thank God it's fatal
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a draw
And we don't want to hear the signs that you're bore
You know the kind of sign you hang on a door
Saying, "We'll be back. We're a crack."

I would also like to nominate "Sitting" by Cat Stevens

Oh I'm on my way, I know I am,
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now,
I feel the power growing in my hair
Sitting on my own, not by myself,
Everybody's here with me
I don't need to touch your face to know,
And I don't need to use my eyes to see

I keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
Will I always wake up the same (or so)?
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
Will I even wake up again (or something)?

Now, oh I'm on my way I know I am,
But times there were when I thought not
Bleeding half my soul in bad company,
I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

Oh, I'm not making love to anyone's wishes,
Only for that light I see
'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave,
That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

And if I make it to the waterside,
Will I even find me a boat (or so)?
And if I make it to the waterside,
I'll be sure to write you a note or something

Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am,
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now,
I feel the power growing in my hair

Oh, life is like a maze of doors
And they all open from the side you're on
Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
You're going to wind up where you started from
You're going to wind up where you started from

A Wild, Wild Party--THE WILD PARTY by Andrew Lippa


EVE (--QUEENIE--)
God has said:

GOD (--MAX--)
"Don't eat that apple, child,
It's bad, forbidden fruit.

OSCAR And PHIL
Bad, forbidden fruit.

GOD (--MAX--)
That's right.

EVE (--QUEENIE--)
God has said:

GOD (--MAX--)
"Don't break my laws
Or give me cause
To use my boot."

OSCAR And PHIL
Don't go that route.

GOD (--MAX--)
That's what I said.

EVE (--QUEENIE--)
I misunderstood him
Or maybe I forgot
Cause after just one bite:
Ooh!
What a night.
Cool Paradise turned hot!

We were having a wild, wild party
We were loving it loud and fast
We were having a wild, wild party
And hoping the beer would last.
Adam, help me now!

ADAM And EVE (--BURRS And QUEENIE--)
We were driving it fast and funky
We were dancing and running free
We were having a wild, wild party

EVE (--QUEENIE--)
And all because of that tree!

THE TREE (--EDDIE--)
A wild, wild, wild party.

OSCAR
Chapter next!

PHIL
Sodom and Gomorrah
That seedy, greedy den
Got said to Abraham:

GOD (--MAX--)
"Go find me righteous men!"

OSCAR
Abie went
To find one gent

PHIL
And he could guess
Those folks were less than glad he was sent.

OSCAR
For when the Boss came down

PHIL And OSCAR
They were burning up the town.

PHIL And OSCAR SODOMITES
They were having a wild, wild party Indeed!
They were loving it loud and fast Such speed!
They were having a wild, wild party
And hoping the beer would last.

OSCAR
Hey, what's on tap?

PHIL And OSCAR SODOMITES
They were driving it fast and funky Wa ooh!
They were doin' it to a fault So true!
They were having a wild, wild party

GOD (--MAX--)
Until that woman turned to salt!

QUEENIE, OSCAR And PHIL
Heaven watched us tearing up the joint
Heaven, ever slowly, got the point

QUEENIE
Moses, coming down from the mount
What's that I hear you say?

PHIL
Holy, Moses, down from the mount
Been workin' a-forty day.

QUEENIE, OSCAR And PHIL
Your people wandered from the Word
Now how did this begin?

MOSES (--BURRS--)
I was so in shock
They made me drop my rock

ISRAELITES
Well, Moe - what was their sin?

MOSES ISRAELITES
They were having a wild, wild party Baruch haba -
They were dancing and living free Baruch atah -
They were having a wild, wild party

MOSES (--Burrs--)
And not a soul invited me.

QUEENIE, OSCAR And PHIL
So don't you see
That's the way it was meant to be

BURRS
From chapter one

QUEENIE
To one hundred thirty-three.

QUEENIE, BURRS, OSCAR And PHIL
If in Heaven you don't excel
You can always party down in Hell!

OSCAR And PHIL
Then finally -

ALL
We'll be having a wild, wild party
We'll be loving it loud and fast
We'll be having a wild, wild party
And hoping the beer would last.

We'll be having a wild, wild party
We'll be loving it loud and fast
We'll be having a wild, wild party
And hoping the beer would last.

We'll be driving it fast and funky
We'll be dancing in primordial stew
Such a wonderful wild, wild party
And we're inviting you!

QUEENIE, BURRS, OSCAR And PHIL
And we're inviting you!

[~FloweryFriend~]

If in Heaven you don't excel

Yup. That sounds about right.

Hello, folks, we're into the Follies!
First, though, folks, we'll pause for a mo'.
No, no, folks, you'll still get your jollies--
It's just I got a problem that I think you should know.

Very betwixt and between.

She says that she'd be sick.
"MARGIE":
Oh, God, I'm sick.
BUDDY:
She says she's mine forever-
"MARGIE":

BUDDY:

I gotta get outta here quick!
I've got those

"SALLY":

BUDDY:
-she says,
Would suit her more than I.
"SALLY":
Aye, aye, aye.
BUDDY:
She says that I'm a washout-
"SALLY":
You're a washout-
BUDDY:
-she says.
I love her so much, I could die!
"SALLY":
Ooh. Ooh.
Ah! Ah!
BUDDY:

I think we'd need a theme for each board. The off-topic board should have some calliope circus clown music. The Main board should have the theme from animaniacs.
