The Song Challenge:   Love And Spots!!  Well, Challenge!rs -- Spring has sprung for most of us, and of course, at this time of year, every species experiences a little flutter of the heart and then, well, instinct takes over...   Perhaps inspired by his own 'instincts', our own Hyperabid has suggested the Challenge! topic of "first crushes and the opposite sex moving from pain in the *rse to "Why has God blessed me with a sex drive and acne at the same time!??".   An excellent and timely suggestion.   So, there you go Challenge!rs -- Songs about 'your first love and/or crush'.   Now I know we've all gone through this -- let's see what you can put to a tune!.


The Games Kids Play by Trapper
(Tune: Those Were The Days / New words by Al Boyce 8/14/01)

Once upon a time there was a playground
Where I used to pull your pony tail
And you used to call me "Dork" and "Booger"
And I'd put bugs and worms in your lunch pail

CHORUS:
"You've got girl germs!", I said
"Boy Cooties never end!"
You hollered back, and turned your nose away.
"You throw just like a girl,"
I said and pulled your curls.
The games we played, oh yes the games kids play.

Na-na-na na-na na, na-na-na na-na na
The games we played, oh yes the games kids play.

Then you started growing out in strange ways
I'd smuggle smut with friends out to our fort
If I passed you in the hall, I'd blush, embarassed
And you read Glamour mags of every sort...

Then in school one day, the gym instructor
Said we were to mix the girls and boys
For dancing class required a dancing partner
And though annoyed, we were each others choice...

Now the years have flown, and we go strolling
Past the schoolyard where we used to play
And over by the swings, a girl was calling
"You Dork, untie my pigtails right away!"
