Your music-lovin' Mememeister, rfduck, was heard to mumble, “Greetings, mamboers! Another Monday is upon us, so it's time for another Mambo! This week's theme is Nosy Neighbor Day. I'm giving you a chance to choose your musical neighbors! But they must fit some rules.
The person/band living to the left of you must have had a number one hit (any chart)
The band living to the right of you must have had a lead singer change sometime in their career
The person/band living across from you must be a female or have at least one female member in the group
The person living above you must be dead.
“It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood ... won't you be my neighbor?”
Howdy, neighbor! Welcome to my musical neighborhood. Over there on the left, the far left at that, come to think of it, you'll find that folksy ménage à trois, Peter, Paul and Mary. Their only #1 single was “Leavin' on a Jet Plane” although they had several albums reach that lofty height.
Next door on the right side of me you will find Van Halen, who have seen two lead singers over the years, replacing David Lee Roth with Sammy Hagar, then Hagar with Gary Cherone.
Across the street, side by each, you'll find Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. Great dames, all.
Back across the alley, you'll run into Bob Dylan, one weird dude, if I do say so myself.
Last, but not least, my upstairs neighbor. A sick monkey, he liked to wave his willy in public and had his head deeper into a bottle earlier than I ever thought to, let's give a hand to the former lead singer for The Doors, Jim Morrison. Long may he rave...
Well, there you have it. That's my musical neighborhood, friend. Don't let the ghostie bother you, he just like to air it out now and again, if you know what I mean.
Want to play along and tell us all about your musical environs? Just stop on by the Monday Mambo World Headquarters & Head Shop and pick up a copy of the questions for yourself. Tell the Big Quacker that the Old Dog sent ya. Dig?
