Lyrical I.P.


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

Georgy girl, ride a white swan,
twist and shout, get it on.
Get back to MacArthur park
Vincent is crying in the dark.

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Lay lady, lay; don't walk on by
love me tender, love me do
Take it to the limit, I want you

(The Seekers + T-Rex)
(Beatles + Chase)
(Beatles + Richard Harris/loads)
(Don McLean + Roy Orbison + Aretha Franklin)

(The Vogues)
(Bob Dylan + Isaac Hayes)
(Elvis + Beatles)
(Eagles + Dylan)

Sadly, I remember all of these the first time round ;(

3 words not actually in the song titles; I think ;)

Thanks Beeme; it is until you remember buying the record for £0/1s/6d from your paper-round money ;)XXX

I know most of these from long drives to France where my parents picked the music ;) Well done on the cherry, Chris!

Well deserved threeleaf. Takes me back. I like the way you arranged the titles to give it some narrative flow.

Thanks chuck, always listening to Dylan but dug out Roy Orbison CD after this and wallowed in it; man what a voice - hadn't listened to it in years (no exaggeration). Thanks for reading ;)

Brilliant! I love this. Short, but very effective and well put together. Well done.

Nathan.
