Woo.

J$, I accepted your challenge. They're real quiet though.

Also my Dad did the little sample 'Oh my God!' and the J$ bits.

roymond -the price is right(and you get what you pay for)

(features Jason on his guitar)

for nothing they'll take your house away
for nothing they'll take your car
for little more than a snide remark
they'll make you a philanthropic czar

the price is right where they want it
the price is right next to nothing
the price is right where they want it
the price is right

The Price Is Right (in stereo uglyroomsound*)
by The Bovine Recyclery
V1
i keep it real
to the point or extent where there is no deal
of consequence wh-when you appeal
to bob about how i bid a dollar over you

it's quite a steal
to jump you and your estimate's squeal
like a dog or cat who just lost his weee--uhh
unfortunately that's all for another show

CHORUS (x2)
because the .. price is right
a-and now, all that's left
are my one-handed model friends
from the showdown

V2
i think it's perfect
how your come-on-down-and-back was knee-jerkish
how your rabbit's foot necklace qui-quit working
and your please-leave-now prize was a year's supply of soap

i doubt you'll use it
your cleanliness is lacking in hues it's
astonishing producers excused it
and i juiced it like an avacado overdue

CHORUS (x2)

(misc banter over poorly-synched midi events)

lyrics:

you say, i don't really care for you at all
and you say, i wouldn't even help you if you'd fall

but i'll tell you this and i hope you believe it's true
if you ever went away, all i'd do is grieve for you
when i think about the future, i only can perceive us two
i'd give up my autographed mint condition 'johnny cashpoint is a sex god' lp in the original sleeve, for you
...if the price is right


please note: this is the first time i've ever really used my mandolin, so don't expect much.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT
- Caravan Ray

What'll it cost to get you back to my place?
Honey I'll do anything you like
I'll wash your dishes, iron your clothes and cook and clean your car and fix your bike
Whatever you want from me
I can guarantee the price is right

I'm made of money, babe you know I'm loaded
I can buy champagne and caviar all night
I'll buy a diamond ring so big and round and sparkley and bright
Whatever you want from me
I can guarantee the price is right

Ahhhhhhh you look like a bargain to me
and I-I-I-I-I-I-I come for free

(ideally the first verse would repeat here - but I hit delete by mistake and the clock was ticking...)

He's the man
That comes with a plan
Nobody can do it
As well as he can

Come on down
And he'll come on up (in that)
His name is Johnny Cashpoint
And the price is right

Johnny Cashpoint is a sex god
Johnny Cashpoint has sex with dogs

heuristics inc. "the price is right"
lyrics by heuristics inc & dr. heuristics. (michelle)

i was waiting in the crowd when johnny said to come on down
i finally had my chance to win some true renown
just had to guess the price i might pay for some junk
that's so easy i bet i could do it while drunk

now here's my first round: a bar of dial
i'm thinking to myself, it's not much of a trial
my brain locks up and i guess six bucks
bob says it's too high, aw shucks

and here's my second round: big bottle of tide
i'll go low this time 'cause i know i can't go high
so i bet one cent, that'll be under i know
but some guy bids two so mine is too darn low!

they kicked me off the show
told me i had to go
your guesses are so wacky
unreservedly tacky
vacation's out of reach
there's some things you just can't teach
the lesson i learned tonight:
my price is never right

The Price is Right
by Starfinger


rod roddy's dead
his voice is in my head
telling me only good guesses
and now i won a bed.

thank you mister roddy.
even though you have no body
i will cherish your memory
while i drink a hot toddy.


the price is right
i wanna watch you all night


i like to spin wheels
i like to eat meals
and i'm so good at money
i'm always making deals

my guesses -- they are close
they never go over
on the showcase showdown i won me
a fancy lunar rover


the price is right
i wanna watch you all night
the price is right
you make me feel alright



who's the next contestant
bob barker's incandescent
i spay and neuter cats
on my own time - i'm independent

i use scissors
don't worry they are clean
i just took them out of my
brand new washing machine


the price is right
the price is right
i believe
the price is right.

since everyone else is doing it:

When I'm lookin' for love I hit the bars
With my turtleneck sweater and Cuban cigars
I drink a G&T with a cucumber slice
And always choose my women with a roll of the dice

Five is tall and skinny
Three is auburn hair
Six is for a mini-skirt
One is savoir faire

And if the price is right
I'll ride the girl all night
And if the night is long
I'll know the dice didn't do me wrong

Make it shiny, make it plastic
Made by two small kids in Indonesia

Make it rare, and maybe noble
Something that the Prince of Monaco would like

If the price is right, we can make it work

Make it fitted, maybe velvet
So I can walk along the strets of Paris

Make it gorgeous, give it blue eyes
So he can walk along by my side

If the price is right, we can make it work.

etc.

missed it

Post by Ross »

DAMN!

I missed it. A skirmish sounds really fun to me. How do I get on a list so I don't miss it next time?

i guess you could make a list of people who want to be in a skirmish, and then organize the next one...

sober seems upset that he wasn't on some list like this either, but the whole point of this part of the forum is to organize sidefights.. if you miss it, well .. why weren't you reading the forum?

both points well taken, of course.

The beginning-to-end window of the conversation was only 5 days - snooze=lose, I guess.
