"I go to parties sometimes until four;
It's tough to leave when you can't find the door"

1. disagree....here's my choice - Frank Zappa -
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 03:52 PM by cbdo2007
The first word in this song is discorporate.
It means to leave your body.

Discorporate & come with me,
Shifting, drifting,
Cloudless, starless,
Velvet valleys & a sapphire sea.
Wah Wah!

Unbind your mind,
There is no time,
To lick your stamps,
and paste them in,
Discorporate and we will begin.
Wah Wah!

2. When in doubt, go with The Beatles...

Don't you think the Joker
Laughs at You?

See how they smile
Like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm Crying
Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary Penguin
Singing Hare Krishna
Man you shoulda seen them
Kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I AM THE WALRUS

6. I'm glad that you specified the long version of that song
Because the short version is a paltry but interminable 436 minutes.

18. Pretty slick -
marvelous song and a gorgeous video! I never heard that incredible song before, but I did find two sets of lyrics online for it - one reads "When you're feeling moved," and another reads "When you're feeling moot."

Actually, either makes sense, but I'm giving this one to you, if only by way of thanking you for that lovely experience.

And your gift is:
