Look at that caveman go-o-o-o-o-o-o-!

"Alley Oop" (Oop, oop-oop)

I know George Thorogood at least did a cover of it - but I don't know who did the original.

It's been covered by so many people, I don't think it really matters what artist you name.

Yer Next!!

More lines:

I said, why walk alone,

why worry when it's warm over here.

You've got so much to say, say what you mean,

mean what you're thinking, and think anything.

Oh why, why must you waste you're life away,

you've got to live for today, then let it go

A crowd of people turned away,

But I just had to look, having read the book

I can't be a rock-and-roll star, because I can't write deep lyrics like they do...

"Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.

Found my way downstairs and had a cup,

And looking up, I noticed I was late.

Found my coat, and grabbed my hat,

Made the bus in seconds flat...."

"A Day in the Life," by the Fab Four, those guys from Liverpool with the moptop hair.

Ever listen to that last note until it ends? It goes on for more than 2 minutes unless interrupted!

Ahhhh yes, but do you know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall?

I used to think the name of this song was Poke Sally Annie -

Then I saw it written and thought Oh...

It's Polk Salad Annie...well at least I got the Annie part right.

But hey, give it a listen and see what you think Tony Joe White is saying:

BTW, I love his voice!

CHOMP!!

You got it.

Even though the correct title is, indeed, Polk Salad Annie, it should really be Poke Sallet Annie.

Poke is a type of wild greens. When you cook greens they are no longer called salad, they are called sallet.

YER NEXT!!!
