War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?"

I know it's daggy, but it has a party atmosphere in which the singers take turns adding their bit like posting on a thread. Hearing it always elevates my mood.

"I'l Get by with a Little Help from my Friends" from the Beatles :-6

Hmm...bit repetitive, though.

Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time

I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown

I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends?

I bring my money to the welfare line

I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me

As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President

so I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak too bright

but yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?

I know you're working for the CIA

they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

/had to do it.

I was thinking of Flower of Scotland, or An English Country Garden.:guitarist

Hawke wrote: Hmm...bit repetitive, though.Well, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" isn't any more repetitive than Pachlebel's Canon, and it'a a lot shorter. And... Have you ever heard "Why Can't We Be Friends" used as a wedding song?

But I'm with rachelg- "With a Little Help From My Friends" is a much better choice (Not the Screaming Lord Sutch version).

Maybe we should have a few songs...I always think of Flight of the Valkyries when we're rushing in to help someone - especially when we're offering tough love. LOL

I'll leave it to the Americans as they outnumber most of us.:yh_hugs :yh_hugs

"Always look on the bright side of life" from The life of Brian with Eric Idle singing the lead.

Remember Life is hopeless but not serious

Remember Life is hopeless but not seriousNow why didn't I think of that? Great stuff

I second "Always look on the Bright Side of Life"!

And of course, this calls for the lyrics!



Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.

Some things in life are bad,

They can really make you mad.

Other things just make you swear and curse.

When you're chewing on life's gristle,

Don't grumble, give a whistle!

And this'll help things turn out for the best.

And...



...always look on the bright side of life!



Always look on the bright side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten!

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps!

Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!

And... always look on the bright side of life...



Come on!



Always look on the bright side of life...



For life is quite absurd,

And death's the final word.

You must always face the curtain with a bow!

Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,

Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!

Just before you draw your terminal breath.

Life's a piece of sh**,

When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,

You'll see it's all a show,

Keep 'em laughing as you go.

Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life...



Always look on the bright side of life



/again, couldn't resist

Hawke wrote: couldn't resist :)I hadn't heard that. That alone was worth starting this thread!

How about "Don't tread on me" by Metallica. Dedicated to all those who keep the Garden clean. You know who you are!! :yh_peace :yh_giggle

I think G-N-R may have one that might work off Use your Illusion if it is not runned by profanity some where in the lyrics.

I think there was a good garden song on it. Might have been the track that had Alice Cooper on it.

"Hail, Hail, The Gangs All Here"

Oh, I REALLY like that one, Lon! :yh_clap

Still like Queen and "We are the champions."







I've paid my dues time after time

I've done my sentence, but committed no crime

And bad mistakes, I've made a few

I've had my share of sand kicked in my face

But I've come through

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions, we are the champions

No time for losers, coz we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows and my curtain calls

You brought me fame and fortune

And everything that goes with it - I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions, we are the champions

No time for losers, coz we are the champions of the world

We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions, we are the champions

No time for losers, coz we are the champions

Garden Party



Ricky Nelson

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

When I got to the garden party they all knew my name

But no one recognized me I didn't look the same

But it's all right now

I learned my lesson well

You see you can't please ev'ryone so

You got to please yourself

People came for miles around everyone was there

Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air

And over in the corner much to my surprise

Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

I played them all the old songs I thought that's why they came

No one heard the music we didn't look the same

I said hello to Mary Lou she belongs to me

When I sang a song about a honky-tonk it was time to leave

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode

Playing guitar like a ring an' a bell and lookin' like he should

If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lot a' luck

But if memories were all I sang I'd ratherdrive a truck

Guess we're getting into a medley?

Bad To the Bone



Because? Well...because all of the other nice and lovely songs were taken. You can't listen to this song and not feel a bit cool.

Hey! There's AK!! I missed you!

I'm voting for "You only get what you give" by the New Radicals

Wake up kids

We've got the dreamers disease

Age fourteen

They got you down on your knees

So polite

You're busy still saying please

Frenemies

Who when you're down ain't your friend

Every night

We smash their mercedes-benz

First we run

And then we laugh 'til we cry

But when the night is falling

And you cannot find the light

If you feel your dream is dying

Hold tight

You've got the music in you

Don't let go

You've got the music in you

One dance left

This world is gonna pull through

Don't give up

You've got a reason to live

Can't forget

We only get what we give

Four a.m. we ran the miracle mile

We're flat broke

But hey we do it in style

The bad rich

God's flying in for your trial

But when the night is falling

And you cannot find a friend

You feel your tree is breaking

Just bend

You've got the music in you

Don't let go

You've got the music in you

One dance left

The world is gonna pull through

Don't give up

You've got a reason to live

Can't forget

We only get what we give

This whole damn world can fall apart

You'll be ok follow your heart

You're in harms way I'm right behind

Now say you're mine

You've got the music in you

Don't let go

You've got the music in you

One dance left

The world is gonna pull through

Don't give up

You've got a reason to live

Can't forget

We only get what we give

Don't let go

I feel the music in you

Fly high

What's real can't die

You only get what you give

You're gonna get what you give

Just don't be afraid to leave

Health insurance rip off lying

FDA big bankers buying

Fake computer crashes dining

Cloning while they're multiplying

Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson

Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson

You're all fakes run to your mansions

Whoever resurrected this thread... ? Thanks.

Iron Butterflies In-A-Gadda-da-Vida



Legend has it that this is how "In the Garden of Eden" is pronounced after a few bottles of vino



So...In the Garden of EdenIn the Garden of Eden, honey,

Don’t you know that I love you?



In the Garden of Eden, baby,

Don’t you know that I’ll always be true?



Oh, won’t you come with me

And take my hand?



Oh, won’t you come with me

And walk this land?



Please take my hand!
