And those guys are professional comedy writers!

"She's a dancer, a romancer, I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer..."

"You're such a jewel in the rough, you wanna show me your stuff..."

"I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion..." (sung by a then 40-year-old Paul Stanley)

"I just wanna f-- I just wanna f-- I just wanna forget you!" (ditto)

Joe Bonamassa (Sick in love). To be fair to Joe, I think the song's a piss-take.

It's either Cat Scratch Fever (the joys of VD in a three minute ditty) or Kiss My Ass (listing all the liberal things he hates).

Too bad there's a statute of limitations on draft dodging; his "How I flunked my induction physical on purpose" would be a hoot.
