I can hardly wait. Too bad it'll only last for a few months. It's been a while since Canada produced a good comedy. Ooh, time for the big show. [:D]

Just when I got comfortable calling him "Celine" he pulls a fast one. Now I'll have to call him "Fuzzy". What a total moron...he couldn't lead a bunch of roped retards through a mall, let alone a country.

How to write a hit song using 25 words or less on your smoke break:

<big>Space Age Love Song- Flock Of Seagulls</big>

I saw your eyes,
And you made me smile;
For a little while
I was falling in love.

I saw your eyes,
And you touched my mind.
Although it took a while,
I was falling in love.

I saw your eyes,
And you made me cry;
And for a little while
I was falling in love.

I was falling in love.

Falling in love.

Falling in love.

Falling in love.

Falling in love.

Peek-A-Boo by Devo

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Even as a 12 year old, I remember this one being wincingly dumb:

You're about as easy as a nuclear war"

Oh, you never went through the Muslim phase and dreamed of 72 virgins in exchange for your martyrdom? Too bad.

Not a new wave song but:

"Only time will tell if we'll stand the test of time."

Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen

I gotta admit though, I love that song anyway.

I guess you could call it Steve Miller's attempt at new wave, but "Abra-abra-cadabra / I want to reach out and grab ya" has to be high on the list.

And while we're on the subject of writing a song on your lunch break, how about "This is Not A Love Song" by Public Image Ltd.?

For me it's the chorus of The Police's 'De Do Do Do De Da Da Da'

[i]De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true[/i]

Still love the song though..[:I]

Sorry, had to revive this thread after I was listening to some early Depeche Mode:

"I take pictures -- photographic pictures."

Um, as opposed to what other kind of pictures?
