I'm so glad somebody mentioned Meat Loaf before I did. Here's my guilty secret: if I could only have one album for the rest of my life, it'd be Bat Out of Hell. Paradise is awesome (and easily the greatest Karoeke song ever) ... but Bat is the greatest song ever.

Bat out of Hell is awesome. And while I agree that "Paradise" is a good karaoke song, it's a little too lengthy. Unless it's done extremely well, it's a total mood killer, esp with the Phil Rizzutto section in the middle. But what do I know? My personal karaoke masterpiece is "Baby Got Back."

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I'd pay good money to see that.

Ok Jeff- so when is your next marathon? I am thinking maybe we need a RA get together with you as the entertainment.

You can sing that and my brother can sing his specialty: AC/DC's "Big Balls." Big grin

Imminent Catastrophe

I swore that I would love you to the end of time! So now I'm praying for the end of time

IMHO the best.line.ever in a rock song. The dueling "Let me sleep on it/I gotta know right now" toward the end is genius. As for the song...great, but not the greatest. But if I'm driving, and getting drowsy, it's my amphetamine of choice.

Wow - I'd forgotten all about Styx, I'm sure I've got an LP of their's somewhere... After talking to myself for far too long I came to the conclusion that my all time best song goes like this Whoa, let the sun beat down upon my face And stars to fill my dream I am a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been T' sit with elders of the gentle race This world has seldom seen Th' talk of days for which they sit and wait All will be revealed Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace Whose sounds caress my ear But not a word I heard could I relate The story was quite clear ...
