Some Oldies Getting a
Make-Over
By: Jane Dow / Mutterings & Musings
graduated from high school in 1965. Here
I are some hit songs of that year with updated
messages.
The Beatles’ “I Feel Fine” after 10 prunes and a bottle of wine.
Freddie and the Dreamers’ “I’m Tellin’ You Now” to get a C-Pap
machine and stop snoring like a drunk rhinoceros.
The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’” after
14 sarsaparillas and a dose of Metamucil.
The Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda.” I’ve caught my shirt tail in
my fly again.
Four Tops’ “I Can’t Help Myself.” I need another slab of that
Cracker Barrel meatloaf.
The Beatles’ “Yesterday” all my bladder control seemed to go away.
The Supremes’ “I Hear a Symphony” when your hearing aid’s
turned up too loud.
The Byrds’ “Turn, Turn, Turn” ‘cause your snoring is driving me
to homicidal thoughts.
The Dave Clark Five’s “Over and Over” I’ve told you, “Put the
toilet seat down, Floyd!!”
Jane taught high school English and theatre for 30 years. She now
spends her time being a Toastmaster, enjoying the endless entertainment
options in our town, attending Pilates classes and spoiling
her rescue, Mandy.
