HAPPY LABOR DAY, EVERYONE; QUESTION OF THE WEEK, AS PER POSTER REAL PAUL STANLEY: DID YOU EVER USE SONG LYRICS TO TRY TO PICK SOMEONE UP ROMANTICALLY? IF SO, WHAT SONG AND DID IT WORK?
I never used song lyrics to pick up on someone. However, in high school, I once included some of the lines from Cheech and Chong’s comedy track “Dave”, off their first comedy album, in a Creative Writing class assignment. The teacher busted me for “plagiarism”, or similar, and gave me a poor grade on the assignment. “Dave’s not here!”.
I once tried to use Sir Mix Alot’s “Baby Got Back” but it did not work.
(Kidding)
Actually, my cute neighbor and I used to sing the classic Elton John songs back in the 70s on our front porch in the summer.
One time I sang to her “Harmony” from the classic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album but didn’t produce any sparks – stayed in the Friend Zone 🙂
1979…….Bellamy Brothers (country/pop)……this song very much appealed to my hormonal, teenage, silly goose brain:
‘If I said you have a beautiful body Would you hold it against me’………which may be the answer to a future Question of the Week (What song has the longest title ?)
I asked a girl out in the 10th grade by saying as the Hanoi Rocks song says, I Want You. She said who? and chuckled and said ok. We dated for a year, she slept with my guitarist, and the band and our relationship were broken up. My lesson learned of the ladies want the bad boy. I was never a bad boy. I was a gentleman with confidence lol
