3. uh OH LORD...
can you explain to the younger crowd what "Bowling for dollars" is

and while you are at it explain to them the world where musical talent was what determined your record getting made not how attractive or UNattractive you are

OK...underpants, you got yourself a date...:loveya:

That song was written by Janis Joplin. Appears on the album Pearl

Dialing For Dollars was a TV show...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialing_for_Dollars

some of the AM radio stations at the time did a similar thing...if you answered the phone with their codephrase, then you won a substantial amount of money.

RIP Janis Joplin...

Oh Lord, won'tcha buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends.
So oh Lord, won'tcha buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won'tcha buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me!
I'll wait for delivery each day until three!
So Lord, won'tcha buy me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won'tcha buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, lord...so please don't let me down!
*****

And this is where I forget the rest of the lyrics...
I could cheat and google...but I'm an lazy-ass honorable badgerpup...:silly:

edit to add the last line cos I had to visit google for upthread...
***
I'm counting on you Lord, so please don't let me down!
Prove that you love me, and buy the next round!
So Lord, won'tcha buy me a night on the town!
