Cry is not 10cc. It is two people _____ & ________. I cannot remember who they are though.

Not captain & Tennille. Not Peaches & Herb. Not even those two that sang "Solid" (I forget who they are now too).

eta: Ashford & Simpson sang Solid. fyi.

Ah, you know me so well, yet you are strangely incorrect as usual. I did not invent it, but once agan, popularized it. I cannot invent everything.

And I reread ncs's post and really don't even understand what the hell she is taling about. Haze of alcohol soft middle age? What?

We don't take turns. One-on-one sex? How vanilla. Either all four of us are there, or none of us.

I'll make an exception if there are only three of us.

I once reused that phrase in an ode to Ollie who I incorrectly thought had invented it and PMed him to give him much belated props for the gem, He then informed me he was mainly sure that he was mostly correct it was a Sebby. I think everyone mainly agrees the soft alcholism refers to the two to four cocktails a night we consume every night as aging attorneys, as opposed to the raging drunks who get to the bar at 11am everyday.

Sebby took it from a Pink Floyd song though - "lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age". We are the only two people in the world who appreciate that album*, so I know it to be true.

Thanks for the background though. I like to be up on my bastardizations.

*actually, if I recall correctly, Atticus also appreciates it, but that is not hepful to my thesis here.

REally? I thought that was Paul McCartney. Huh. Go figure.

I checked, and not that cry song. Don't know who did that one. And it's "it's because" not "just because." The things I learn for love.

Interesting

10cc got their name from Jonathan King who released their first records. King had had a dream about a successful band called "10cc". However, popular belief is that they adopted the name because the average male ejaculation is 9cc and the band was above average with 1cc more than that!

How can Sebby like "The Final Cut" when he hates Waters so much. It's practically a solo album.

That's what this love is . . . that's what we've got.

Now I have that "I can dream about you if I can't hold you tonight" song in my head (Dan Hartman (Heartman?) I think). What movie was that in?

etaa: I am totally utterly wrong. 10cc did sing Cry. I would cite it but I lost the page. Look on google.

There is a reason you are my internet boyfriend. Well, many, but one is my love for this tune. I tried to download it onto my IPOD but it was not available. In an interesting twist, the Waylon Jennings (!) version was, and it is sublime. One of my favorite workout tunes.
