The Lyrics
Outside the Van Nuys, CA, courthouse, somebody handed Robert Blake a guitar, and he launched into "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I'm not kidding. What you didn't hear on the news were his lyrics:
Someone shot Bonny Bakley
No, not I
Why's this heat on me lately?
I got an alibi
Someone bumped off the bimbo
My life's bleak
Stuck in - Court TV limbo
Me and that Jackson freak
Someday I'll be an A-list star
And crowds who hear me play guitar
Will thank me
"Baretta" will return again
And other convicts in the pen
Won't call - me - Span - ky
Someone shot Bonny Bakley
Not me, kid
I ain't shot no one lately
Maybe Phil Spector did
If OJ Simpson whacks his wife
And goes scot-free then
Why - oh - why - can't - I?
No, not I
Why's this heat on me lately?
I got an alibi
Someone bumped off the bimbo
My life's bleak
Stuck in - Court TV limbo
Me and that Jackson freak
Someday I'll be an A-list star
And crowds who hear me play guitar
Will thank me
"Baretta" will return again
And other convicts in the pen
Won't call - me - Span - ky
Someone shot Bonny Bakley
Not me, kid
I ain't shot no one lately
Maybe Phil Spector did
If OJ Simpson whacks his wife
And goes scot-free then
Why - oh - why - can't - I?

Spaff, you've yet to do a bad spoof!!!!
Excellent rhyming - good Spanky line.
You did it again Spaff. Love it. Well done. And this line was soooo Robert Blake:
I ain't shot no one lately
I ain't shot no one lately
Perfect, Spaff...excellent!!
Nice one
Fives, and you can take that to the bank
Excellent!
Spaff, will work on it tonight, let you know.
Great job, Spaff! LOL 555!
Very well done.
What luck! Rick Duncan happened to be at the courthouse and was able to record the performance. Hear it here:

Yeah, and I was able to filter out all the wind noise and reporter clamor and get down to what Blake actually sounded like.
But he didn't shoot the deputy. As to what he really sounded like, he sounded like a weirdo! And he said, very softly so that hardly anyone could hear, "Vitello's has awesome cannoli." And they do.
I ain't shot no one, it was that Christian Brando kid what done it.
i guess i'm the hardass again, 4's
Laurence: Two words: Anal Vice.

Deep inside my gut I felt that Blake was not guilty. Becuase of all the crap he marched through to regain his freedom, I guess he is entitled to some sweet revenge, but he sure did ruin a good song, but I am sure glad your free Mr. Blake.
Danny: I *totally* agree with you. Well, on the "ruin a good song" part, anyway.
Birds fly over the rainbow becuase they dont have to wait for slower traffic and presidential Haircuts like with Bill Clinton Remember Hairforce One?
