Whoah, wow, fun site. And informative too. For example to my surprize I found the original version of "Yesterday" before it was polished up by John Lennon and Paul McCartney It was called...

Negligee,
I look stupid in this negligee
'Cause my butt sticks out this funny way --
Oh, why'd I buy this negligee?

Suddenly,
I am twice the girl I used to be;
Flab is hanging out all over me --
This negligee's a travesty.

Why it doesn't fit I don't know, I couldn't say;
I did something wrong when I bought this negligee.

Negligee,
I would like to take it back today,
But I threw the damn sales slip away --
I'll have to keep this negligee.
Hmm mm mm mm oo oo oooooo.



Like you said. Fun link.

I HAD to check the lyrics of this song! Too long to copy here, but well worth a look. Here's a sampling:

My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray,
and it was overheating.
So I pulled into a Shell station; they said I'd blown a seal.
I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?"

That's what happens when you let a guy loose in a lingerie store!

NOW I know why they call it a gasket over here!

Not certain that's always true. I had a friend in college who worked in a lingerie store because of the discount. Of course he wanted to spend his junior year abroad.
