An 80's party! What a cool concept. I'm old enough for a 60's party but rocked well into the 80's! I've since settled , mostly.Anyway, I'll appear as the late, great Robert Palmer. ![]() Because I'm, you guessed it, Simply Irresistible!

No prob, Rixtex! And Big Tex is offering an advanced degree in bboard HTML for those who really want to make their posts rock. Basically, you can enclose HTML (but not Javascript or VBScript) within "doHTML" tags. (Thanks to Big Tex for the hint.)

OMG! I can't beeeelieeeeve the postings on this thread. Or the threads on the pictures posted. Or the hair. Or the make-up. Wowzer. Here's my contribution: Blondie, singing The Tide is High ![]() Surely everyone has some concept of the 80s . . . those not singing can just come dressed in general 80s attire. . . right? Maybe? It might be fun to experience the previous decades. Besides, 70s stuff had its revival, 80s is next -- I've seen it in stores ! Here's your chance to be on the cusp of fashion! ? Call me, Dame Viv |

Big Tex, you're a man of many surprises and I appalaud you. Anyway, as to myself, of the songs of Wall of Voodoo I will be: Mexican Radio (Their big hit) from arrival to about midnight,On Interstate 15 (An instrumental piece) for about an hour Call of the West (Title song for one of two albums) for the rest of the night, and maybe the next day. I must be the luckest darn Ambassador ever! I don't think the others go to state parties as swanky and fun as this one. |

Yeah party, I'm so there. I think I'd come as Adam Ant, and the song would be Prince Charming. I have a picture of the single which I'd like to share, unfortunately, I can't figure out how to post it on the forum. Could anyone help me out?

Greetings, deadwhores! (Now there's a phrase I never pictured myself uttering. )If you e-mail your photo to: const@comcast.net I'll upload it to some Web space and e-mail back the URL. Then you just follow the instructions posted earlier in the party to include it in your party entry. We'll give you any help you need to get this working.

Toni Basil! Hot! OK, it's Friday night and this Texas party has officially started! Dweezil has been hitting the tacos and Tecate , straightens out his 18th century knickers, pats his wig, and grabs the karaoke microphone out of Robert Palmer's hand. (Sorry, Rixtex, but this is SERIOUS karaoke competition here!) The German lyrics end up sounding like an Adolph Hitler Nuremburg rally speech, but everybody can join in on the chorus:[doHTML] <table> <tr> <td><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~const_1/falco_animated.gif" align='left'" /></td> <td><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~const_1/rockme_animated.gif" align='right'" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~const_1/chorus_animated.gif" align='left'" /></td> </tr> </table> [/doHTML] |

Hey, CoNST, no need to get pushy! I hadn't had enough yet and was just trying to get the microphone to the right settings. Now, test, test. Thanks for making sure it works, although you shouldn't quit your day job. Seriously, that wasn't bad. Ok, I seemed to be primed, now. Ladies and gentlemen, as promised, President Rix Wax does Robert Palmer. Bring the band on down behind me, boys. ![]() How can it be permissible? She compromise my principle Yeah, yeah That kind of love is mythical She's anything but typical She's a craze you'd endorse She's a powerful force You're obliged to conform When there's no other course She used to look good to me But now I find her..... Simply irresistible Simply irresistible Her loving is so powerful, huh It's simply unavoidable The trend is irreversible The woman is invincible She's a natural law And she leaves me in awe She deserves the applause I surrender because She used to look good to me But now I find her..... Simply irresistible Simply irresistible She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went She's all mine, there's no other way to go She's unavoidable I'm backed against the wall She gives me feelings That I never felt before ![]() I'm breaking promises She's breaking every law She used to look good to me But now I find her..... Simply irresistible Simply irresistible Her methods are inscrutable! The proof is irrefutable She's so completely kissable Our lives are indivisible She's a craze you'd endorse She's a powerful force You're obliged to conform When there's no other course She used to look good to me But now I find her..... Simply irresistible Simply irresistible Thank you, thank you. Glad you liked it! That made me thirsty! I need another I'll be back later for another but right now I need to sit down. Whose up next? |

Right then after a few drinks here and there the first song we will be singing... ::Like a Prayer:: Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home Chorus: When you call my name it’s like a little prayer I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I’ll take you there I hear your voice, it’s like an angel sighing I have no choice, I hear your voice Feels like flying I close my eyes, oh God I think I’m falling Out of the sky, I close my eyes Heaven help me (chorus) Like a child you whisper softly to me You’re in control just like a child Now I’m dancing It’s like a dream, no end and no beginning You’re here with me, it’s like a dream Let the choir sing (chorus) Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery Just like a dream, you are not what you seem Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there It’s like a dream to me ![]() for our second song.... :: Angel :: Why am I standing on a cloud Every time you’re around And my sadness disappears Every time you are near Bridge: You must be an angel I can see it in your eyes Full of wonder and surprise And just now I realize Chorus: Oooh you’re an angel Oooh you’re an angel Oooh you’re an angel In disguise, I can see it in your eyes Walking down a crowded avenue Other faces seem like nothing next to you And I can’t hear the traffic rushing by Just the pounding of my heart and that’s why (bridge) (chorus, repeat) You’re an angel You’re an angel, baby You’re an angel You must be an angel Now I believe that dreams come true ’cause you came when I wished for you This just can’t be coincidence The only way that this makes sense is that (chorus, repeat) You’re an angel You’re an angel, baby You’re an angel You must be an angel, baby Clouds just disappear ![]() and our last song, cuz we think three will be enough from us for one night anyways..... ::Think of Me:: I’m getting tired of waitin’ around I feel like I’m always trackin’ you down I don’t wanna point my finger at you But there’s something you’re forgettin’ Here’s what you better do, you better Chorus: Think of me I know you want to baby Think of me It won’t be long before you Think of me ’cause I’ll be gone and then you’ll Think of me You walk in and you see me cryin’ You apologize say you lost track of time I’m not gonna cry anymore You’re gonna lose me too if you don’t Know what’s good for you, you better (chorus) Tell me what I did to you to make you Treat me so badly If you wanna see me anymore If you don’t wanna see me walking out the door you better (chorus) Stop wastin’ all my time You know it could have been so fine Hey boy I’m waitin’ on a sign Don’t you know there’s someone else Stop thinking of yourself (chorus) ![]() and that is all i gotta say/sing about that.

I apologize for my lack of Aerosmith performance. The limo was held up in traffic after I spent a little too much time in the bar pre-gaming. (In reality, I was drinking in my dorm, making strawberry daquiris with snow and any kind of alcohol we could find. I was up till 5 in the morning.) |

OK, folks. Its OK. I'm all better now. I apologize about last night. Had a few too many courage screwer-uppers, if ya know what I mean. Mrs. Wax drove me home to the mansion. God bless her. Hope I didn't say anything to anybody I'll regret. And Big Tex, I'm really sorry about your shoes. Mrs. Wax filled me in (not to mention poured me into the car). I'll pay to have them cleaned, or if they can't be, I'll buy you some new ones. Not to worry. Learned my lesson, again. So much for bye and byes. I'm ready to belt out a new one. This one's for you, Mrs. Wax. Dixie, baby, I'm addicted to you. ![]() Addicted to love The lights are on - but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another kiss is what it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt - you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss is all you need Whoa, you like to think That you're immune to the stuff, Oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say You can't get enough, You know you're Gonna have to face it You're addicted to love You see the signs - but you can't read You're running at a different speed You heart beats in double-time Another kiss and you'll be mine A one-track mind, you can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do Whoa, you like to think that you're Immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the thruth to say you Can't get enough. You know you're Gonna have to face it You're addicted to love Might as well face it you're addicted to love Might as well face it you're addicted to love Might as well face it you're addicted to love Might as well face it you're addicted to love The lights are on - but you're not home Your will is not your own You're heart sweats, your teeth grind Another kiss and you'll be mine Whoa, you like to think that you're Immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you Can't get enough. You know you're Gonna have to face it Y ou're addicted to love Might as well face it you're addicted to love.... Thanks. That required alot less liquid courage and it probably sounded a whole lot better, too. Dix, honey, let's sit down and listen to the rest. No,no. No more to drink. Honest.
