We simply cannot let the poetry thing die ...
==============================================

I was on my way to work one day when I spied a rocket ship.
An alien abducted me and took me on a trip
To a previous existence on another astral plane.
I met a real nice lady there named Shirley MacLaine.

==============================================

Can you complete the lyrics?

==============================================

The following is a joke ...

First prize, one-year FlightSim membership.
Second prize, two-year FlightSim membership.

Craig, (I mean T'Boom)

The awful thing is, it should be "some aliens", not "an alien", as I now realize -- but the edit hour has expired.

(And further, something tells me that I won't find them on FlightSim.)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Nov-22-02 AT 06:09AM (EST)[/font][p]OK, so far nobody has come out to play. So let me say that the lyrics above were preceded by these ...

Truth (rest) Is (rest) Out Of Style (rest) 4 beats
Truth (fest) Is (rest) Out Of Style (rest)
Truth (rest) Is (rest) Out Of Style (rest)
Truth .................................... 5 beats
Is Out Of Style (voice-over by announcer, or maybe it is the MC himself.)

The whole piece is about a guy who cuts work and gives some nonsense excuse for why he didn't show up.

And so, "Truth Is Out Of Style" means "Lying is IN!"

Now maybe you younger people just automatically grasp this stuff, I dunno. But it took me YEARS to take this piece apart, to comprehend many of its nuances.

(But it still runs through my head, sometimes, as it is doing right now.)
(Anybody who calls himself MC 900 Foot Jesus automatically pre-qualifies for my Bent Humor list.)

Here's the reaon I need help with the lyrics. The tape recorder caught essentially all of the meter, but it has dropouts for many of the words, leaving us with stuff like this, which is actually the first stanza, but it doesn't get played till like two minutes into the video ...


“Thank God for MC Nine Oh Oh” is the first thing that you’ll say
As you wake up in the morning at the start of every day. And
BLAH blah blah blah blah blah blah blah you’ll know who to thank.
blah blah blah blah BLAH blah you can take it to the bank.

Truth … Is … Out of style ………………



Now Shirley MacLaine really DID appear in the video, and according to my tape recorder, this is what SHE had to say:

“Truth is not an obstacle for people such as we” she said
“because in fact we each create our OWN reality”.
Blah BLAH blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAH
Blah blah blah blah blah BLAH blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Truth … Is … Out of style ………………
