KEEP THIS THREAD GOING BY SAYING A LINE FROM A 80s SONG

[Mr. dB]

My hooptie rollin', tailpipe draggin'
Heat don't work an' my girl keeps naggin'
Six-nine Buick, deuce keeps rollin'
One hubcap 'cause three got stolen

 

[nugget]

If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
you know in the end I'll always be there

OH wow, how'd you get a car?

[JeepMonkey]

Deserves more than one line.

Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong down the nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

I
Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly gas
I
Creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

 

[Mr. dB]

Moses went up to the mountain high
To find out from God why did you make us why
Secret words in a secret room
He said a womp bop a lu bop a lop bam boom

I did not put you here to suffer
I did not put you here to whine
I put you here to love one another
And to get out and have a good time

Let my people go-go-go
Let my people go
Let my people go-go-go
Let my people go

Joshua fit de battle of Jerico
He tell the boys with the horns get down and blow
They rear back aim they bells at the stars
And said beat me big daddy eight to the bar

Let my people go-go-go
Let my people go
Let my people go-go-go
Let my people go

Jesus went out for a walk with his mother
The scribes and the pharisees plotting hugger-mugger
They locked him up and they threw away the key
He said why's everybody always picking on me?

20,000th Post Dedication

Let my people go-go-go

Damn, that was my 20,000th post, and I wasted it on a crappy Rainmakers song? Fuck.

I dedicate my 20,000th post to George, Rick, and Digger, for knowing better than the paying customers how to keep the fun rolling on EF.

 

[nugget]

I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border
the sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a wiffle ball bat so
I'm on the run, cops got my gun,
and right about now is time to have some fun

 

[heatherrae]

Fat fine Freddie
Told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin'
Are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, flash is cool
Francois sez fas
Flashe' no do
And ya don't stop
Sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And ya get in your car
And ya drive real far
And ya drive all night
And then ya see a light
And it comes right down
And lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And ya try to run
But he's got a gun
And he shoots ya dead
And he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And ya don't stop
You keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars
Where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow
'Cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars
He's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture

 

[heatherrae]

If you like Piña Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half-a-brain
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the cape
I'm the lady you've looked for
Write to me, and escape
