"Paul" the Musical

HRQ

Y'all are gonna miss me next week, so here's a little project to keep you entertained while I'm gone.

[b][font color=purple][font size=20]It's "Paul" the Musical![/font][/font][/b]

Post a song that best describes Paul. Some songs to get you started;

One Bad Apple – Osmonds
Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) - The Temptations
The Candy Man - Sammy Davis, Jr.
You're So Vain - Carly Simon

When I get back from vacation, I'll clear out my garage so the Cheese Movers can get practicing for our "Paul" concerts.

Don't know Paul really well, but here goes....
"What About Me" - Moving Pictures
"I Go to Extremes" - Billy Joel
"Cruel to be Kind" - Nick Lowe
"Little Miss Can't be Wrong" Spin Doctors
Q, I'm sure you'll let me know if they don't meet your impeccable standards.

Wow, you two have come up with some really good ones. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be very hard. I'll do my best to come up some good ones, too. But, I do bow to Q, and what a fantastic topic. This should be fun. At least for some of us.

HRQ

Am I not the most awesomely creative person you've ever met? I amaze myself.

HOw's 'bout:
Wild Thing
Bad to the bone
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch

Paul in Cannon Beach

Reading this is physically painful. A musical? I hate musicals. Too much singing.

Still, I would like to contribute my own song.

"Misunderstood" by Bon Jovi

Paul:
Maybe it is more like a "dark" opera...

Sort of like Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

I'm a Man - Chicago

Paul in Cannon Beach

I think I am going to try the "alert" button for my first time on HR HERO.

HRQ

Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant

Q, let's be kind to Paul. How about,
Cleanin' My Rifle And Dreamin' Of You - Roy Rogers

Paul in Cannon Beach

How about "Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now" by the Smiths.

HRQ

Don't Cry Out Loud - Helen Reddy

Paul in Cannon Beach

Ok, how long is this musical anyways?

Amazing Paul from Oregon,
His posts we love to read.
He shows us how to work and have fun.
His job is almost done.

Since Paul likes Turtles, here's a pop rock band with lots of brass called the Beatnik Turtle. Here's a clip of their music.

Here are a few more suggestions:

See the Funny Little Clown - Bobby Goldsboro
People Are Strange - The Doors
Ain't That Peculiar - Marvin Gaye
19th Nervous Breakdown - Rolling Stones

Looks like this musical is certainly going to be eclectic.

And Paul will need counseling after we're done with him.

Dutch2

Don't you think Paul deserves a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

Dream a Little Dream - Dynomite

Paul in Cannon Beach

I got told I look like Ray Romano yesterday again. Since his sitcom is over, maybe he would be available to play my part in the musical.

Is Wilford Brimley the oatmeal guy still alive, he could play Ray.

Scarlett Johannsen can play HRQ.
Uma Thurman can play Ritaanz.
Winona Ryder can play Joannie.
Halle Berry can play Missk.
Penelope Cruz can play Elizabetharess
Salma Hayek can play Dutch.

and Danny Devito can play ACU Frank.

You may be in dutch with Dutch.

I think Brimley is dead, but that's OK, he could probably still do a reasonable characterization of me.

joannie

Interestingly, or maybe not, there is a site called Dead People Server, and it shows Brimley is alive.

I'm sure Paul wasn't intentionally being unkind to Dutch. He just slipped off to his

"Playground in My Mind" - Clint Holmes

Dutch2

I can tell I don't get out much as I need to go to a who's-who list to track down some of these names.

ray a

Well, the actress playing you is a dark haired beauty. I heard Tom Selleck agreed to take Brimsley's place and play my character.

allsteaks

Based the female cast members I would volunteer to take pictures, digital of course. Even video if allowed!!

joannie

Ray & Allsteaks, it appears Paul has pulled you into his fantasy world!

I usually get the Pillsbury Doughboy to my my part. You know short round and fully packed...
