In The Velvellettes- Lonely Lonely Girl Am I.

At about 1:45 there's the line:

'Haven't been able to sleep at night, don't make sense to try to eat a pie'.

I mean...They are right, no way is eating a pie ever going to be a cure for insomnia, and I'm sure that any nutritionalist worth his (low-sodium) salt would tell you that eating such a high-fat stodgy food in the early hours can only be bad for you, but it's not a great line for a Motown song, is it?

The incredible edible Wendy Renee "I like Barbecue...."

And staying with the food theme...Mr Bunny Sigler " I used to be happy ...so Ginger and Snappy"...For crying out loud ...how bad is thems lyrics.

And the Theatrical Carnival lyrics of "Back by Popular Demand" especially "you took my love on a ferris wheel ride, I started falling and you stepped aside" OUCH

Yeah I think I'd probably sell them with a bit of arm twisting. Lee Roye is a stock copy in EX with a few non-sounding marks, Four Tops is a red and white demo, visually vg+ plays terrific though, clean label, centre intact.

Katy's house must look brilliant if every piece of wood she found she nailed to the floor, bit of a trip hazard I would say, health and safety would have a field day.

Mentioned it before - Chapter 5 - "You Can't Mean It"

BILL COSBY - "Little Old Man"

Yoiks!!!!

A little ole man was sitting on a step

And a tear kinda trickled down his cheek

I said, whats the matter, He said, a train just ran over me

I said, hmm, how often does this happen, He said, every day about this time

I said, well, why do you, just sit out here then

He said cause I cannot believe that its happening

I said, reach out, take my hand, youll understand

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Little ole man sitting on the step

Same ole man and a tear trickled down his cheek

I said, whats the matter

He said a herd of elephants just stampeded over me

I said, hmm, same, hmm, I said, how often does this happen

He said every day a half hour after the train runs over me

I said, reach out take my hand, youll understand

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Little ole man sitting on the step

Same ole man and a tear trickled down his cheek

I said, hey, how you doing after that train ran over you

He said what train

I said the train that ran over you a half hour before

The elephants stampeded over you

He said, what elephants, I said hmm, same, hmmm

He said, youre a young boy, said you got a lot to learn

He said reach out, take my hand, youll understand

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight

Joanne Touchstone... 'Walk Softly'

Found this in a thrift shop for a quarter, listened to it on my portable, and the sudden brilliance that filled the shop was palpable...

"You've gotta...walk softly I say, don't stomp your feet! You might wake him up and then, we'd be in a far out treat...

You've never, seen my dad mad and you're lucky you ain't!

Cause I guarantee he's no saint! And he might frown, so keep it down!

'Cause I wanna make love to you, under the stars so blue - but if you don't watch out....you might hear a shout! From my father's room and that means doom for both of us!!"

Thanks Sherlock :D . I didn't actually think it was 'pie' it's just that the idea of a Velvelette getting up in the middle of the night for a meat and potato seemed sort of funny to me and I thought it might give a few other people a smile. :unsure:

Thank you I have wondered for years if that is what Roy said , some days convinced, others blaming it on my rather less than perfect copy ...But always nervous about actually sharing my concern with friends less they piss themselves.. Is that really what he says??? :unsure:

Worst still has to be though

There's a button on your left and one on your riiight.

The one in the middle means we're having bad luck.

We're running outta gas and our landing gear is stuuuck.

Ritchie - it really is worse than that!

My baby turned a chip and said we've no time to lose

I said good and baby that's a groove.WTF

we danced all night on fish & chips then we headed for this place called home.

I honestly still think this is a made up record - please somebody convince me that i'm wrong.
