Talk about the intriguing world of The Commodores Records!| Lyric Alterations | | This morning, I was chatting with my Mom on the phone, and her being of an advanced age, she has "to go" frequently, and it has become an ongoing family joke. Well, this morning, she was in rare form, she bursts out in song..."on The Throne again! I can't wait to be back on the throne again".....ala Willie Nelson's "on the road again"Modifying lyrics has become somewhat of a hobby for us, some situations go from tension filled to complete hysterical laughter in just seconds, with the right tune and words.
some all time favorites are:
- "Thick Spouse" to the tune of Brick House (Commodores)
- "Black dog" to the tune of Black Bird (Beatles)
- "this pooch was made for walking" to nancy sinatras "boots"
- "Don't let[i]your[/i] son/mom go down on me" Classic Elton John tune I could go on ad nauseum, but I want to hear some lyric modifications from YOU!sing me a song, pwease[em]blush[/em] | |

Willie Nelson--- On the Commode Again | |
| | Lionel Richie | | On the Valentine's Day episode for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Lionel Richie sang two songs. The first song he sang was one of his older ones, "Truly". The second one was off of his recently released cd. The cd is called "Coming Home" and the song he sang yesterday from it is called "Why". I have loved Lionel's singing both with the Commodores and as a solo artist. Yesterday was no exception with my admiration of him. He can still put out the smooth soulful sounds and grooving jams I've always loved him for. Not only can he sing, but he is very pleasant to look at. | |

Lou Rawls, 72, January 6 in Los Angeles. His trademark song "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine," was released in 1976 and exemplifies the classic "Philadelphia Sound." Rawls recorded 52 albums in a career that spanned nearly five decades and won Grammy Awards for hits "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," "Natural Man" and "Lady Love." He also played a major role in United Negro College Fund telethons in the '80s that raised more than $200 million and appeared in 18 movies and 16 TV series.

Soul/R&B legend Wilson Pickett, 64, January 19 in Virginia. In 1965, Pickett signed a solo deal with Atlantic, scoring a No. 21 pop hit with "In the Midnight Hour," which he co-wrote with legendary sessions musician Steve Cropper. A slew of late '60s R&B/soul hits followed, five of which reached No. 1 on The Billboard R&B charts. Pickett was a 1991 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His last studio album, "It's Harder Now," (1999) won W.C. Handy Awards for soul/blues album of the year and comeback album of the year, and Pickett himself was named soul/blues male artist of the year.
