Pinemom, that song drove me crazy today, and it is a very short drive!!!

I was sitting in my tractor blowing another foot of snow and moving at a whopping 1 mph which gets rather boring when your song came to mind. With nothing else to distract me, that song repeated for two hours!! I could not remember all the words either, but there was nobody else in the tractor to argue when I improvised!!

BoxB. I just noticed your signature block. Between that and Pinemom's song, I am doomed!!! If we have a good snow year, and we really need the snow, it will be three months before I can get that tune out of my head.

I must concentrate on Crown Royal!!!

How does that go again??

Let me think.

(CLARK subtly slides into a bar stool and graps a cup o' Joe) What's the good word tonight all? Just up at the station listening to some tunes and thinking about going out tonight, as I will be working during the real New Year. It's gonna be a "New" New Year's Eve night :D

There are enough do dos and da das and de des in there for
me to suspect that Fishy was in cahoots with Sting when
re-writing and updating the songs lyrics.

Sting, I wish. And I dont' even like sting. I was in cahoots with the woman who dumped her husband for a man she met on the internet who had creep written on his forehead in big letters, because he promised to impregnate her and oh my god, he turned out to be a stalker. Anyway, she blew off all her friends (myself included) at the same time she left her husband, and blamed us for everything. But that was circa 2001 and we updated those lyric mid-eighties so I forgot the 2nd half of the 2nd verse. If anyone has some bright idears, feel free. Just remember to sing that song as fast as you can, like you're channelling a punk rocker.

Sitting on that tractor and thinking about that song really got to me, so I was thinking about changing it a bit to make it fit the moment. Next I read Fishy and BoxB's posts and I guess that forced the issue, so here goes:

Slow down, the snows too deep, drop a gear down into creep
Just easing down the old driveway, throwin' the snow and feelin' groovy

Feeling groovy

Hello snowbank, what's cha knowing. Gettin' a chill with the wind blowin'
Wish I had Crown Royal for me, do-it-do-do, feelin' groovy

Feeling groovy

I've got driveways to blow, now what did I think
I left my bottle sittin' there next to the sink
Let the dark clouds drop all their snow flakes on me

Sun I miss you, all is groovy

There it is again, do-it-do-do, in the lyrics.
I smell a conspiricy.
Sting, if you can hear me.
I love you man !!

It might be a bit quiet in here tonight, but if you really want to be alone in this bar you need to visit it in late August, then you are alone!!

Do you mind if I grab one of those Weinhart's and head back to my corner booth?

It looks like most of the patrons are waiting for the big parties tomorrow night. I guess they don't want to start a big party night with a nasty hangover. Nothing like planning ahead, but Tuesday morning is going to be rough!

Yep.
I'll be driving tomorrow am, and then back on tuesday pm, but I don't have any plans in between times, but getting HAMMERED.

Do we need to make a fire in the Burn Barrel?
What the hell, I have a stack of type-o'd resumes that need recycled.

I used to be able to get hammered before driving, now I just need a lot of zzz's. I hope the weather cooperates for you, around here the roads are pretty tricky. With four days of continous snow, the roads are real slick, at least most of the drivers are slowing down.

I knew if I stuck around the bar more of a crowd would show up.

New words for the song:

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.

Or was it:

Ninety-nine bottles of rum on the wall.....
