Even though I'm terribly hurt that Paul hasn't cast the role of Whirlwind in his musical (and, therefore, I'm not speaking to him directly), I'll suggest a few more numbers:
Livin' on a Prayer -- Bon Jovi
Lawyer, Guns, and Money -- Warren Zevon
Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School -- also Warren Z.
Waitin' On A Call From Don -- Austin Lounge Lizards (I swear this is a real song)
Best theme song (originally from the Beach Boys so very appropriate):
Hey hey hey Da da da That's what I say Da da da
There's a man in the funny papers we all know Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop He lived way back a long time ago Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Well he don't eat nothin' but bearcat stew Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Oh well this cat's name is a-Alley Oop Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
He's the toughest man there is alive Alley Oop Wears clothes from a wildcat's hide Alley Oop He's the king of the jungle jive Look at that caveman go!

He's the toughest man there is alive Alley Oop Wears clothes from a wildcat's hide Alley Oop He's the king of the jungle jive Look at that caveman go! (*Scream*)
He rides through the jungle tearin' limbs offa trees (*Scream*) Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop And knocking great big monsters dead on their knees Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Other cats don't bug him 'cos they know better Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop 'Cos he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
Well, uh, he's the toughest man there is alive Alley Oop Wears clothes from a wildcat's hide Alley Oop He's a hully gully king of jive (*Laugh*) Well look at that caveman go! (*Scream*)
There he goes (There he goes.) Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Look at that caveman go Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Ride, daddy, ride Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Heigh-ho, dinosaur Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Oh my goodness, what a big brute he is! Hm! Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Oh, how would you like a dinosaur like that, for your own? Mm! (*Laughter*) Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
(G minor. D7.) (What now? What now?) (Just give me a minute.) (Brian, I need a B flat [...]. You know I can't read.)
Ok, Ok. I know Paul is a vegetarian, but it just seemed so appropriate. Now that I think about it though, "..lived a long time ago...look at that cave man go..." Perhaps this belongs on Ray's thread. Sorry. My bad.
The Beach Boys did Alley Oop? Wow, I'm so old I didn't remember that. I thought it was some other group's one hit wonder. Since we're in that era, how about "96 tears" from ? and the Mysterians? Never mind.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-16-07 AT 06:00PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Alley Oop was recorded first by Gary Paxton in 1960 then in 1965 by the Beach Boys.
Would you like to hear a rendition on the bass trombone?

"Days of Whine and Roses" - Henry Mancini
Sorry, Paul. I believe the musical belongs to Q; it is just about you.
Interesting note, however; "Everybody Loves Ray has considerably more views than "Paul the Musical", but about the same # of posts although they were created around the same time. Could this be because, although we are more interested in Ray it is easier to be derogatory about Paul?
Joannie, I have found you to be a kindly and observant person. You rank right up there with Q.
And with this post, I have placed Paul's thread ahead of mine. I magnanimously forfeit the lead since ostensibly it is so important to Paul to make it a contest. xclap
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-17-07 AT 04:26PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Actually Larry, I'm not wrong, Gary Paxton was the lead singer of the Hollywood Argyles. According to this site, [url]http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=4272[/url], Gary recorded Alley Oop as a solo artist and formed the Argyles after it became a hit.
But wait, I was wrong, it was first recorded in 1957 by Dallas Frazier.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-17-07 AT 05:56PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Joannie, weren't you taught not to lie? That post is obviously untrue. Paul has no concept of the emotion familiar to the rest of us, embarassment.

Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran... the classics.
Danny Devito???
Now, Howie Mandel, maybe.
Now, back to the musical... I'm thinking Dean Martin's "Little Ol' Wine Drinker, Me".
