Road trip sing along diddies

[Bloodscythe 2,225]

as I was minning i was giggling about some lil diddies we'd sing in the car on road trips in muh youth.  All were written and created by someone else so if someone knows the origins along the way to note and give credit were due for gave me endless laughter over ones i'll submit.

 

What I'd like to do here is have people post their own car sing-a- longs, this adds a fun and layered dimension to our wurmian family.

The Tattooed lady

                                                           kingston Trio

 

I went to town to see, that ole tattooed lady

she was a sight to see, tattooed from head to knee

 

My uncle ned was there, he came to gape and stare,

"I NEVUH" he declared "seen such a freak so fair"

 

Along her jaw was a royal flying Corp,

and on her back was the Union Jack

how could you ask for more? 

 

All up and down her spine was the Queen's own guard in line

and all around her hips

sailed a fleet of battle ships.

 

And over her left kidney,

was a bird-eyed view of Sydney

But what I liked best, was upon her chest,

Our lil home in Waikiki.

EDIT: I just noticed this was in scribes corner and not wood scraps. I've edited lyrics for each song in.

In high school we used to cruise around listening to a ton of different things. One staple was Ministry's Psalm 69 album. Another was Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power.

Now, if I take a track off of each album that got everyone going (and maybe sing-songy), it would be:
 

Lyrics:
 

Spoiler

Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't use
Push the button
Connect the goddamned dots

Live-in thief in my bedroom bathroom
Commodity sodomy glass autonomy
Promise everything take it all away
Give it a rest

You're lying through your teeth
You're lying through your teeth
Who what which why who
When did you say the earth would stop turning?

When did you say we would all start burning?
When should I make a pledge?
Should I listen to the voices in my head?

Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots

Who am I trying to impress?
Who could care less?
Tell me something I don't know

Lyrics:
 

Spoiler

Revenge, I'm screaming revenge again
Wrong, I've been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated
I've moved mountains with less
When I channel my hate to productive
I don't find it hard to impress

Bones in traction
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me

Hold your mouth for the war
Use it for what it's for
Speak the truth about me
Determined

Possessed, I feel a conquering will down inside me
Strength, the strength of many to crush who might stop me
My strength is in number
And my soul lies in every one
The releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun

Bones in traction
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me

Hold your mouth for the war
Use it for what it's for
Speak the truth about me
Determined

There comes a time within everyone
To close your eyes to what's real

No comprehension to fail
I vacuum the wind for my sail
Can't be the rest
Let others waste my time
Owning success is the bottom line
Like a knife into flesh
After life is to death
Pulling and punching the rest of duration
No one can piss on this determination

This one is 450+ years old originated out of Scotland.  It has since traveled the world with hundreds of adaptations.  This is the one we'd sing on road trips as kids and into adulthood
