I actually promised Heather a new rendition of “Brick House” (He’s the Dark…Man/He’s creepy creepy, man he’s freakin’ us all out/He’s the Dark…Man/His eyes glow red, he’ll kill you dead/He’s waitin’ just ahead) to try and keep her reading The Stand, but I can’t post the rest of that one until she’s further on in the book. Not that it has blatant spoilers, but it does have some bookish innuendo.
So in the meantime, I offer up Elton John’s I’m Still Stand-ing, because someone mentioned on twitter that they were still Stand-ing and it made me think of this song. So for all of you Standalong participants who are still reading, sing along with Elton…
I’ve been reading since June the first
I’ve been sick, I think that this book is cursed
But there’s something about this book that calls to me
Maybe I should just keep reading instead of watching Glee
I wonder if this book will ever end
But hey, at least my cold is on the mend
I got a thing for Stu, Harold’s such a goob
Wonder what they’d say if I just quit and watched it on youtube
Okay, fine…I’m still reading, slower than all the rest
Reading through the 78 chapters, how many do I have left
I’m still reading and now it’s July
Will Frannie ever stop philosophizing about that damn pie
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I never thought I’d read this book
It’s taking me away from my crochet hook
I’ll soldier on through characters galore
I’ll read all night and it’s Trish’s fault I’m a Standalong whore
Okay, fine…I’m still reading, slower than all the rest
Reading through the 78 chapters, how many do I have left
I’m still reading and now it’s July
Will Frannie ever stop philosophizing about that pie
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah…I’m still reading, slower than all the rest
Reading through the 78 chapters, how many do I have left
I’m still reading and now it’s July
Will Frannie ever stop philosophizing about that pie
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I’m still Stand-ing yeah yeah yeah
I just spit my drink out in guffawing laughter! “Will Frannie every stop philosophizing about that pie?” Ahahaha!
Okay, you are just fucking awesome, you know that right? Thanks for this, I desperately needed it. LOL
HA! I haven’t read the book but I’m still chuckling.
These crack me up! Trish made all of us Standalong whores.
I’m a SLACKER and still haven’t posted my thoughts about the STAND-Along or any other books I’ve read for that matter
LMAO! And, you know, I only just finally got Elton John’s song out of my head where it has been stuck since I was dumb enough to title my midway post “Still Stand-ing.” Now it’ll be back for at least another 2 days. But at least it has fun, The Stand-themed lyrics this time around….
BRAVO!!!!! I sang along!
