Well Doug you’ve backed me in a corner
I do not like this prompt at all
But I am a talented songwriter
And I am committed to a fault
I took a little trip to Wikipedia
Wrote a little song to make you dance
It’s all about the scientific name for the family of
Willow flow’ring plants
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Wrote about its name
To stay in this game
Salicaceae
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Now sing along
To my half-baked song
Salicaceae
Doug I will admit that I was desperate
And the other choices weren’t that great
This beat out a random church in Norway
And India in 1928
I never really was a nerd for science
I’ve never really been a history buff
But I know how to write a verse and chorus
And Doug-uh-lass I hope that that’s enough
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Here’s a Latin word
That you’ve never heard
Salicaceae
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Take a look with me
At the family
Salicaceae
Narrowleaf Willow, Peach Leaf Willow,
Corkscrew, Dappled and the Weeping Willow
White Willow, Yellow Willow Purple Osier
Even googled up a big list just to make sure
There’s Poplars and Aspen, and Cottonwoods
Salicaceae has got the goods
My pronunciation function got some work today
So you can sing it out confidently
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Gonna make you sway
Like a willow tree
Salicaceae
Salicaceae, Salicaceae
Now that you pressed play
I bet you can say
Salicaceae

Just a careless pack of wolves today
We are
Still young enough to have a day of play
We are
See that odontosia in the sky
Try to catch him fore he gets to high
We all jump at him with all our might
As he hovers round the dying light
Come and run with us my brother now
We were tough on you but we’ll make it up somehow
We are sorry we had been mislead
You’re one of us now you can lift your head

Luke Payne - blue mullet

she wore a blue mullet
cause it made her feel powerful
and the pain...?
she didn't wanna dull it
cause she thought of it as rocket fuel
and the mane...?
it said something bout her spirit
it made certain people fear it
and let other people know that she was cool
selling out was still a thing
show them who you wanna be (wanna be, wanna be)
get it tattooed on your sleeve
just don't be a wanna be (wanna be, wanna be)
fashion is nothing
and fashion is everything
grab that ring
make that scene
let them see
that really
you just can't be bothered
she wore a blue mullet
cause it made her feel powerful
and the pain...?
she didn't wanna dull it
cause she thought of it as rocket fuel
and the mane...?
it said something bout her spirit
it made certain people fear it
and let other people know that she was cool

Doug Davis - Empty Sands
04:08

My father fought back the surge
Bells of Sao Paolo rang the requiem dirge
I left my home like cannonshot
I chased my dragons, sought no rest, nil for naught
Man lay roots all
eternal in gold
As the sea’s lost foam
Man is fooled
These shiftings of sand
Searching for his home
You brought me to the end
The edge of nowhere
My devils show their
Unbeatable hands
You left me here to find
The edge of never
The lost forever
The glass-empty sands
I’ve bathed in Venezuelan rain
My bed of stars laid down in sweet Clairefontaine
I raised good men to victories bold
From Porto silver to the Manchester gold
Man lay roots all
eternal in gold
As the sea’s lost foam
Man is fooled
These shiftings of sand
Searching for his home
You brought me to the end
The edge of nowhere
My devils show their
Unbeatable hands
You left me here to find
The edge of never
The lost forever
The glass-empty sands

I LOVE LUCY
I LOVE LUCY ON MY BLACK AND WHITE
I LOVE LUCY EVERY MONDAY NIGHT
I WORRY BOUT THE NUCLEAR THREAT
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
I STAY AWAKE AND THINK OF ETHEL AND FRED
AND PRAY THEY LIVE IN PEACE
I LOVE WHEN RICKY SINGS A BABALOO AND I LOVE WHEN LUCY
CAN’T SING IN TUNE
I WORRY BOUT THE PENDING COLD WAR WITH THE USSR
I WORRY BOUT THE MISSLES BARRAGE
COMING THROUGH MY FRONT DOOR
I LOVE LUCY ON MY BLACK AND WHITE
I LOVE LUCY EVERY MONDAY NIGHT
I WORRY BOUT THE NUCLEAR THREAT
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
I STAY AWAKE AND THINK OF ETHEL AND FRED
AND PRAY THEY LIVE IN PEACE

v1:
It takes 2 to tango, at least 2 to make romance
So swing on by my place, unless you've got other plans
A gentle reminder, it might be a long, long night
With bubbles & champagne, we'll unleash the fire inside
ch:
Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love
v2:
The night is just starting, but we're twirling round & round
No neighbors complaining, but soon we'll be getting loud
Unless you get frightened, then we could pull it back
But let's reconsider, you should just try to relax
ch:
Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love
br:
You certainly must understand how lucky we are
And even though you're still in your skin, you shine like a star
-- gtr solo --
v1.5:
It takes 2 to tango, at least 2 to make romance
So swing on by my place, unless you've got other plans
ch:
Hollywood, Hollywood hot pink love
