Sugar Sugar, Honey Honey
You are my candy girl, and you've got me wanting you.
[the Archies, "Sugar Sugar"]
Can you cook and sew
make flowers grow
can you understand my pain
[Bob Dylan, "Is Your Love In
Vain", proving that even the very best have their moments of
weakness.]
Life, I love you, all is groovy
[Paul Simon, Feelin' Groovy
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
[Terry Jacks, performing Rod McKeun's "Seasons in the Sun",
translated from a French song which adds to my comprehension of why Jerry
Lewis was believed to be an "artist" in France.]
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to
bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
[Jimmy Webb, McArthur's Park-- yes, easy target.]
This mountain we must climb,
seems like the world upon my shoulders.
[Foreigner, "I Want to Know What Love is"]
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
[I don't buy the idea that Roger Waters is any kind of genius or that
"The Wall" was anything other than sophomoric.]
