40. The Mamas and The Papas – Dancing in the streets

Callin’ out around the world–

Are you ready for a brand new beat?

Summer’s here and the time is right

For dancin? in the streets.

They’re dancin? in Chicago,

Down in New Orleans,

Up in New York City.

All we need is music (sweet music),

Sweet music (sweet music).

There’ll be music everywhere (everywhere);

There’ll be swingin’, and swayin’, and records playin’

And dancin’ in the streets.

…………………………………………………………..

Weird Mamas and Papas  Tributes:

We have to assume that The Mamas and the Papas fans are Grandmamas and Grandpapas now. There are not too many crazy fans out there, nevertheless …… 

This is a Mamas and Papas Tatt (See code below)

…………………………………………………

Weird Mamas and Papas  Merch:

Must be love … 

 

Ooooo! A fat doll. Is that allowed?

With any luck she’ll eat Barbie for lunch.

WTF!

What has CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ got to do 

with little toy cars????

And, ah, what DO you call that sort of dream?

…………………………………………………

Fake Bananas:

Madam Madusa says ‘Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can’t be trusted … and, sadly,  46 years later we know,  California Dreamin’ never became a reality. ‘

34. Elvis Presley – Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail.

The prison band was there and they began to wail.

The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing

You should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.

Everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock.

Weird Elvis Tributes:

Love me tortoise, love me do.

Elvis Christmas Tree Topper ….

O Star of Wonder, Star of Might

A pooch, a pooch a burnin’ love!

Weird Elvis Merch:

She’s not You,

And you’re not him even with the dodgy  side burns.

 

Devils in disguise, perhaps?

Mr Potato Head Presely

Love Me Tender, Love me New

Roasted, fried or stewed!

Fake Bananas:

Madam Madusa asks ‘How can they be so cruel to a heart that’s true?’

33. The Beatles – I am the Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.

I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.

Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.

Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

 

I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

 

Mister city policeman sitting

Pretty little policemen in a row.

See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.

 

I’m crying, I’m crying.

I’m crying, I’m crying.

………………………………………………..

Weird Beatles Tributes:

Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band … 

not so lonely this time round

at the London Olympics.

John Lennon possibly composing the lyrics ….

Help me if you can I’m feeling …

like an idiot, chilly, breezy, like a dick

… down!!!

……………………………………………………………………………………….

Weird Beatles Merch:

 

I wanna hold your … yellow prong thing.

Paul with sucking monster .. named, let me see, Heather?

 

This album suggests The Fool on the Hill has gone postal again.

I saw her sanding there at the Sand Sculpture Festival Timmendorfer Strand beach, Germany.

32. Simon and Garfunkel – The Boxer

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes

And wishing I was gone

Going home

Where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me

Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer

And a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders

Of ev’ry glove that layed him down

 

Or cut him till he cried out

 In his anger and his shame

“I am leaving, I am leaving”

But the fighter still remains.

………………………………………………………………..

Weird Simon & Garfunkel Merch:

Mrs Robinson sold separately with Dustin Hoffman doll

sporting removable white y-fronts.

Expect a few fights then ……

I went out to look for America and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.

……………………………………………………………………………………….

Weird Simon & Garfunkel Tributes:

Simon and Garfunkel are, apparently, the group mostly likely to inspire bad impersonations … all it takes is a mo, a cap and a wig.

The hair may be attached to the cap in both cases.

……………………………………………………………………………………….

Here’s a cute Simon & Garfunkel SONG tribute. Guess which one?

Fake Bananas:

Madam Madusa says ‘And in the naked light I saw 10,000 bad haircuts, maybe more’.

31. Metallica – Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one

Don’t forget, my son

To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within

keep you free from sin

 till the sandman he

sleep with one eye open

gripping your pillow tight

CHORUS

Exit, light

Enter, Night

Take my hand

we’re off to never-never land

………………………………………………………….. 

Weird Metallica Tributes:

The To Hell and Back Pizza

with that burning Metallica after-taste.

This Porsche runs on bourbon shots.

………………………………………………………………………………..

Weird Metallica Merch:

For the baby whose eyes

light up at night.

If you have to wear a tie

you ain’t Heavy Metal material.

Do you even have a scary tattoo or a drinking problem?

You do not Go to Jail in this game.

You go directly to Hell.

Time marches on

For whom the bell tolls,

But you can always keep warm in

the Hail Satan Nursing Home

in a Metallica lap rug.

………………………………………………………….. 

Fake Bananas:

Madam Madusa says‘The higher you are, The farther you fall 

The longer the walk , The farther you crawl.

The bigger the horse, the bigger the stall.’

29. Pixies – Where Is My Mind?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head will collapse and you’ll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Way out in the water

See it swimming

…………………………………………

Weird Pixies Tribute:

Good Question.

Oooo! That tatt would hurt!

This installation by artist Jaime Lopez of 200 Helium Balloons

almost seems the easy way out.

………………………………….

Weird Pixies Merch:

Death to the Pixies Ts and shoes seems a

weird fan purchase.

But this is the age of irony.

Death to the Pixies was the title of a compilation album.
