Put an MB member into a verse of "Piano man"

Trollheart · 04-27-2014, 08:39 AM

I'm sure everyone knows the song, if not here it is:

Billy Joel describes the patrons of the bar in verses in the song. Try to do this with an MB member. Try to describe them in four lines, and if possible make it "scan", so that you could fit it into the song and sing it.

Here's mine:

"Now Goofle's a man who loves music;
He's always spinning a disc.
Whether folk, ska or punk, rap rock or funk
It's sure to be found on his list."

Cool idea!

Here's one for you:

"And Trollheart's the hell of a writer;
With five or six journals on his own
He writes without pay, surely he'll write today
He's the mayor of Journaltown"

Bump.

I just stumbled upon this thread and this immediately came to mind:

"And John Wilkes Booth is practicing politics,
As WhateverDude slowly gets stoned,
Sequoidae's courting an Asian chick,
And Roxy has broken a bone."

(Yes, I know she only sprained it, but come on, artistic license!)

Now Roxy at the bar is a friend of mine
She gets me my trees for free
And she's quick with a joke or to hang out and toke
Long as it's not 3 in the morning

She says, "SHUT THE FUCK UP I'M TRYING TO SLEEP"
As I'm hiding out from a police chase
"Well, I think you've had a bit too much to drink
just got to bed and wash your face"

It's 12:00 on a Wednesday
The regular posters are in
There's a newbie posting a song
In the "Name That Tune" forum.

He says, "Son, can you tell me what band this is?
I heard it around a campfire
I'd post you a link, but I really do think
That fifteen posts are required."

And, Batty, he blew out his O-ring
and can't push it back in by himself.
Can't sit or lie down without ass ache
but still won't seek medical help.
