    acrux vi et animo

    Pick a girl's name any name & some love-struck boy has either made up his own song using her name or put her name into an already existing song

    AAAAhhhhhh isn't love grand, makes you feel all nice & fuzzy inside.

    I bet I just made somebody feel sick

    Could be. It sounded a bit like skiffle playing than the standard 60's Beatles rip off sound.

    Jang Bong Speak softly....big stick

    Love it :D


    If "They call the wind Mariah", then "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" - and then you start drifting into West Side Story: "Maria, Maria, Mariiiiaaaaaa"

    As technically suspect as L.O.L.A we also have "A boy named Sue" :D
