If you were on a deserted island and could only have one song, one book, one movie...

I use to have this very popular show called, "Gilligan's Jukebox" where people would tell me their songs, it was basically Desert Island Discs.

I used to like that idea. It was a nice icebreaker. Gets folks a' talkin'.

I'd never be lucky enough to have the items I liked with me at the moment the plane crashed or the boat sank.

Who needs the music anyway? Trying to remember the lyrics is the fun part!

There's a new Tee Vee show all about that, now. Remembering the lyrics.

I was told recently about how someone use to mess up the lyrics from Berlin's song, "Riding on the Metro":

I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies

But she thought the line said:

swimming through a pile of cheese

That cracks me up!

Everyone knows someone that's always messing up lyrics, it might even be you. My friend Tracy started laughing at me when I was singing along with Radiohead's, "Everything in it's Right Place" and I sang:

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

She believed the line was:

Yesterday I woke up soaking wet

She argued and argued and after I proved her wrong, it seemed she lost all respect for Radiohead for writing a stupid lyric like that.

Not as stupid as songs with the easy rhyme, like Billy Joel's, "Piano Man" with:

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

Thank God Davy was in the Navy and not in the Marines, cause that wouldn't rhyme.
