I cannot take credit for this post. It's from an email forward, but I can't track down the author:
Some of the artists of the 60's and 70's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers who can remember doing the "Limbo" as if it were yesterday.
Bobby Darin --- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' A Flash
Herman's Hermits --- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker
Ringo Starr --- I Get By With A Little Help From Depends
The Bee Gees --- How Can You Mend A Broken Hip?
Roberta Flack--- The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face
Johnny Nash --- I Can't See Clearly Now
Paul Simon--- Fifty Ways To Lose Your Liver
The Commodores --- Once, Twice, Three Times To The Bathroom
Procol Harem--- A Whiter Shade Of Hair
Leo Sayer --- You Make Me Feel Like Napping
The Temptations --- Papa's Got A Kidney Stone
Abba--- Denture Queen
Tony Orlando --- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall
Helen Reddy --- I Am Woman; Hear Me Snore
Leslie Gore---It's My Procedure, and I'll Cry If I Want To
Willie Nelson ---On the Commode Again
Sounds like this was made up by some smartass ad men. I'm afraid they'll actually use the Denture Queen song. Abba is "made" for commercials. Now, all I want to do is come up with some renamed titles of my own.
Dave Clark Five: (And I'm Feelin') Bad All Over
James Brown: Papa's Got a Brand New Knee
Sam and Dave: (I'm a) Ole Man
Shirelles: Will You Still Know Me Tomorrow
Wilson Pickett: Facelift Sally
Sly and the Family Stone: Hot Flash in the Summertime
Moody Blues: Nights in White Statin
Lovin' Spoonful: Do You Believe in Prozac?
Angels: My Boyfriend's Back (It Is Giving Him Some Trouble)
John Lennon: Instant Heartburn's (Gonna Get You)
Elton John: Crocodile Rocker
Marvin Gaye: I Heard it Through My Doctor

The Zen of Photoshop
It's been a dreadful week. My neighbor's husband died. A friend with an incurable disease took his own life. My daughter is sick and in a different state, so there's not much I can do to help her. And, when things are really awful, I like to sit in my room and play with color. Sometimes, there are only three things that make me feel better: child number one, child number two, and photoshop. I hope that all of you have someone or something that cheers you up when you really need it.
