:: Loopy Lyrics Friday ::

Well, there's not much to report really. I still haven't retrieved my CDs from the festivities chez Little Timmy last weekend. However, this hasn't stopped me thinking of delicious pop pop pop. And for one of my colleagues, Wide Boy, I created a little Wonder Woman birthday card email thingy. Here's a pic of the lovely lady herself in resplendent attire (click for link to fansite):

This set me thinking, the lyrics to the marvellous Wonder Woman Theme Song are probably some of the best I've ever come across - deep, relevant and downright bollocks. I print them here in full as a testament to their poetic genius:

All the world is waiting for you
and the power you possess
In your satin tights
fighting for your rights
And the old red white and blue

Wonder Woman!

Now the world is ready for you
and the wonders you can do
Make a hawk a dove
stop a war with love
Make a liar tell the truth

Wonder Woman!
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman

All our hopes are pinned upon you
and the magic that you do
Stop a bullet cold
make the axis fold
change their minds and change the world

Wonder Woman!
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman!

So, the challenge is to come up with equally awful/brilliant lyrics to make it into the Devukha Pop Hall of Lyric Fame. To start us off, here's a weekend cliffhanger. This should be extremely easy with Google, but I don't care. this is the first verse of a touching melody by some of our Scandinavian friends. It appears that things haven't moved on much from the days of charmingly stilted Abba lyrics...

Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
People scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like bacteria
These lonely days are out
Welcome the passion of the groove

The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I wanna get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline...

...then the chorus comes in, the first line of which is the track title. If you can't be bothered with looking it up, all will be revealed on Monday.

In the mean time, I shall be joyfully engaged in the pursuit of nothingness, looking at this site. And learning those lines of course...
