The Lyrics
Stop explaining your views on NATO
Unless you want to hear me snore
Don't assume that I think you're clever
'Cause chatting with you is a chore
I'll let you woo me; tell me I'm gorgeous
But charm alone won't get you far
Your poems don't rhyme, here's the bottom line:
I only like you for your car
Though you've got a blind man's fashion
And it's true that you've got no hair
Don't care that your heart's filled with compassion
That doesn't change this love affair
To find a looker's my temptation
I'd love someone who knows the Bard
I'll make it simple, don't mean to shock you
I'll stay with you just for your car
You need to know that you are so lucky
To have a girl like me with you
What will it take 'til you give me the key
To your sweet B-M-W?
I do not love you, nor will I ever
But I hold deep inside my heart
Love for the posh life of heated leather
I only love you for your car
Unless you want to hear me snore
Don't assume that I think you're clever
'Cause chatting with you is a chore
I'll let you woo me; tell me I'm gorgeous
But charm alone won't get you far
Your poems don't rhyme, here's the bottom line:
I only like you for your car
Though you've got a blind man's fashion
And it's true that you've got no hair
Don't care that your heart's filled with compassion
That doesn't change this love affair
To find a looker's my temptation
I'd love someone who knows the Bard
I'll make it simple, don't mean to shock you
I'll stay with you just for your car
You need to know that you are so lucky
To have a girl like me with you
What will it take 'til you give me the key
To your sweet B-M-W?
I do not love you, nor will I ever
But I hold deep inside my heart
Love for the posh life of heated leather
I only love you for your car

Arwen, you might want to send this to "Car Talk."
You're a terrible person. I think that's why we've become such good friends...
Oh yeah, and terrific job on the song!
Oh yeah, and terrific job on the song!
Yeah...I AM terrible...that's why everyone wants to be just like me...; )
Thanks, John & Ashkicksass!
Thanks, John & Ashkicksass!
Beware, you might be as replaceable as the spare tire... :-)
Watch it, Bub! You aren't allowed to even THINK that I'm replaceable at ALL. Because I'm not. I'm one of a kind...and I'm the best thing that ever happened to...um...anyone I ever happened to.
Hmph.
Hmph.
"Love for the posh life of heated leather"........rrrrrowwwrrrr..... ;-D ...... 5's
Well, thanks, Mr. D!
You are a very naughty girl.......and that is why I like you! ;) Excellent work!
funny one, arwen....5s.........i drive a 10 year old yellow and orange truck...still love me ?
I think, if it's at all possible, that I love you ever more, Alvin! Plug a heating pad into the cigarette lighter and I'm yours forever, baby!
555 and Wow ! Eleven comments about a Billy Joel parody about cars and not one mention of crashing? I'm impressed ! Why to think that I -wait a minute-I've broken the streak didn't I ? Darn ! ; )
That should say EVEN more. Dammit.
TTP--again...thanks for always making me smile. You're such a cute commenter! =)
Excellent as usual, Arwen. I don't drive a car much, I usually push or tow mine. High 5's
Hee hee, Dee! Thanks a lot!
Damn....I've just sold my Aston Martin!! You'll have to have the Jag instead...sorry! 555
Looks like you're in the driver's seat on this one. 0-to-12 perfect votes in 8 hours. Hmmm....the car I drive now was/still is the only new car I ever bought - A 1998 Ford Escort. Never any trouble or expensive repairs so far (except some driver inflicted road damage to the rims one time).
Kristof: Hmmm...I suppose a Jaguar will be sufficient...but only because you're such a cute little S.A.B. For anyone else...it would have been the boot! ; ) Thanks!!
Paul: You take care of that Escort, mister! You never know when that very special Escort seeking lady is going to be watching...=) Thanks so much!

Well, I know women like that, when it comes to love all they know about it is what they´ve picked up at the crash course...
Whatever. I wrote the crash course. Whatever the hell that means.
Hey Sister Evenstar: Thanx for plugging this where I wouldn't miss it. I agree - intelligence and wit are way overrated. Materialism RULES. And by "the Bard" I assume you mean the Bountiful Area Refuse Dump? I sure as hell know THAT place! I go there to hang out with the thousands upon thousands of examples of the Utah state bird (i.e., the California Gull - talk about envying states with REAL bodies of water). Oh, the majesty of picking through garbage!
Ah ha, Spaff...I knew I could lure you over one way or another. Thanks...
So...Pretty interesting that you mentioned the Sea Gull, and its love for the intricate beauty of a landfill. As hard as it may be to believe, I have always been THIS witty, as I developed a keen sense of humor as a child. I don't really remember the conversation, but apparently, I told my mom and dad that I'd renamed them "Dump Gulls," as I'd mainly see them...well...at the dump.
At least my parents always prided me in being clever enough to come up with that...so...don't shatter all of their hard esteem building now...feel free to applaud me at any time...

Hee, I'd missed this before -- haven't been keeping up on my parody reading habits. See, this is why I don't drive -- so I can be sure women want me for my looks. This is great.
Make no mistake, Leo...I want you for your tight leather pants.
Thanks, Buddy...
Thanks, Buddy...
VROOM! VROOM! VROOM! VROOM! VROOM!
Although I doubt that I'll ever be as eloquent as you just were, Mr. Pacholek...thank you! =)
Loved it! Nicely done; I gotta give it 5-5-5. :)
Well, thanks, Serafina!! I'm glad you liked it!
Reading the comments was almost as entertaining as the song itself! Almost.
I agree, Jeff - and the song is a hoot, too. Hey, hold on a sec... my car's got heated leather seats, too ;-)
Thanks, Jeff & Phil!!
and I thought you were with him for his outie belly button - you are shameless - and you're even prepared to heat up his leather - have you no decency
You know Stuart...I think that decency is WAY over rated. What does it get me, in the end? Heated leather? I don't think so...; )
Trust me, Arwen, it ain't decency if it gets you in the (THE REMAINDER OF THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN CENSORED)!
LOL, MP!! =)
