Grease Is The Word

The omniscient Jersey Boys Blog recently reported that several JB Vegas cast members lent a hand in a celeb-filled charity event at an area McDonald's. Both Vegas Frankies, Rick Faugno and Travis Cloer, took their turns flipping burgers. I just hope this song doesn't get stuck in their heads...maybe Silence is Golden Arches, after all.


(to the tune of "Big Man in Town")

Each day I cruise the drive-thru
Peruse the dollar menu
Consumed by what I'll eat today
I work at the Palazzo
Out here it gets real hot, so
I need my slurpee right away

I'll have a Big Mac and fries
Large McFlurry
I'll have a Big Mac and fries
In a hurry
I'll have a Big Mac and fries
Try to make it fast
I'm just wastin' gas...

Four days a week I'm Frankie
Gotta stay spry, lean and lanky
Sometimes I just need a release
Each morning it's granola
If it's oil it's pure canola
But in my dreams the Word is Grease
(is the word, is the word)

I'll have a Big Mac and fries
In a hurry
I'll have a Big Mac and fries
Large McFlurry
I'll have a Big Mac and fries
Try to make it fast
I'm just wastin' gas...

Those golden arches
They call to me
Sugars and starches
They call to me
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh waaaah...

And then one day, a tune pops into my head.
Problem is, another tune had already popped into my head.

And my whole head exploded.


I vant to be alone.
Vhy must I vant to be alone...

haikrewe three

(inspired by Rick Elice's recent "Three Miracles" interview with EncoreAtlanta.com as reported last month in the omniscient Jersey Boys Blog)













one show two writers
three miracles four seasons
high five the sixties

The Four Seasons were one of the few white acts to record for Motown.

Late September, back in '66...

...is when I started high school. Which means I graduated in 1969. My 40 year reunion was last weekend and to commemorate the occasion I took a classic tune and butchered it with my own lyrics and voice. A couple of gorgeous women enticed me - against my better judgement - to perform it at the reunion. Apologies to Don McLean.

Hear it, and read the lyrics, by clicking here.

PANTY GIRL

("Candy Girl")




I've been a-searchin' o'er this big wide world
Now finally I've found my
Panty girl
Panty girl

I-I-I-I'm puttin' on a show (panty girl)
She-ee-ee-ee sits in the front row (panty girl)
Distracting
My acting
I'm blowin' all my lines
She's mine (mine)
Mine (mine)
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Panty girl

She-ee-ee-ee, frilly in Chiffon (panty girl)
Wond'ring, I am - will she keep them on? (panty girl)
She's flirtin'
It's hurtin'
Yeah, She's So Fine
She's mine (mine)
Mine (mine)
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Panty girl

With her legs together
Nobody knows what she has in store
But both of us know at the end of the show
We will say hello
At the stage door

Ti-i-i-ime for the final song (panty girl)
She-ee-ee-ee slips out of her thong (panty girl)
She throws 'em
Bestows 'em
We bow just one more time
They're mine (mine)
Mine (mine)
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Panty girl
Panty girl...

(everybody's favorite Four Seasons song NOT in Jersey Boys. Don't know it? Right click here.)
