The Carpenters’ Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft.

"Please, interstellar policeman
Oh won’t you give us a sign
Give us a sign
That we’ve reached you
Oh do

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together, that’s the way
To send the message we declare World Contact Day

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft…"

The entire song (and video) is one of the most magnificent wonders of the Seventies.

Then the '80’s came along and things got really weird.

Olivia Newton-John - Promise (The Dolphin Song)

“If only I can help to right a wrong, with my dolphin song
Then I’ll have done what I set out to do
If I can only make one man aware, one person care
Then I’ll have done what I promised you”

R.I.P. my beautiful Queen of the Galaxy.

Then came the 90’s which were fabulous, but this one Beastie Boys couplet from “Pass the Mic”:

“Well, everybody rapping like it’s a commercial
Actin’ like life is a big commercial”

ALWAYS BUGGED ME.

C’MON guys, you coulda done better than THAT!!

Surely they could have worked “controversial” in there somewhere. Rhyme a word with itself and you lose the rap battle.

My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

I mean you can’t expect much from Abba, but still…

She’s So Lovely by Scouting For Girls is a song I despise with a passion that I cannot fully express without falling foul of the family friendly rule.

I love the way she fills her clothes
She looks just like them girls in Vogue
I love the way she plays it cool
I think that she is beautiful

She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely

She’s pretty, a fitty
She’s got a boyfriend though and that’s a pity
She’s flirty, turned thirty
Ain’t that the age a girl gets really dirty?

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know

I love the way she bites her lip
I love the way she shakes them hips
I love the way she makes me drool
I think that she is beautiful

She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
Well, she’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely

A stunner, I want her
Was she this fit when she was ten years younger?
Come see me discretely
She says she’s got a trick or two to teach me

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know

I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are beautiful

She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely
She’s so lovely

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How we’ll make it through this
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know

My romantic endeavors have never enjoyed tremendous success, but I think not being responsible for the deaths of 50000 men and 30000 horses is one thing I do have going for me :man_shrugging:

Some infamous words from Starship:

Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio, don’t you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

also

It’s just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the chokehold (oh)
And we just lost the beat

Who counts the money
Underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball
Into our guitars

Or just “knee deep in the hooplah,” which they thought was such a good line they also named the album that.

Building your city on rock and roll is a code violation.
