"Hey Ricky, are you really playing in Tchaikovsky's orchestra?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Gee, it must be great up on stage with him. Are you performing tonight?"
"Un-unh."
Tchaikovsky’s Cannonball [set to the 1812 Overture] By Richard Perlmutter
The crowds were cheering at the concert hall The night Tchaikovsky shot a cannonball It was the loudest cannon that you’ll ever hear It was so loud it even shook the chandelier The crowds were cheering for a curtain call The night Tchaikovsky shot a cannonball The drum and bugle player jumped op on a seat They hoped and prayed it wouldn’t fall down on their feet Trumpets were blaring, everyone staring Critics declaring, “daring, daring!” Then it exploded! Boy it was loaded! What a crash it stopped the show It landed in the seventh row Tchaikovsky’s cannonball Blew up the concert hall But everyone could see The guy made history That the great Tchaikovsky’s cannonball That’s all!
I was listening to Never Go Home Anymore just yesterday. As a teenager I was so overcome with angst the first time I heard it I cried. Yesterday it made me laugh. Nostalgia. Now to go listen to Ode to Billy Joe.
This made me go grab my copy of "Always Magic in the Air." Great book about the music writers of this era, Brill Building, etc. Looks like I'll be reading through it again.
Do NOT accept candy from strangers! Walk away (quickly) and if followed... run! Mace the persuer, if necessary, and create a lot of noise to attract assistance. At the last resort (especially if the persuer is banging your head into the sidwalk) you might have to shoot him.

The crowds were cheering at the concert hall
The night Tchaikovsky shot a cannonball
It was the loudest cannon that you’ll ever hear
It was so loud it even shook the chandelier
The crowds were cheering for a curtain call
The night Tchaikovsky shot a cannonball
The drum and bugle player jumped op on a seat
They hoped and prayed it wouldn’t fall down on their feet
Trumpets were blaring, everyone staring
Critics declaring, “daring, daring!”
Then it exploded! Boy it was loaded!
What a crash it stopped the show
It landed in the seventh row
Tchaikovsky’s cannonball
Blew up the concert hall
But everyone could see
The guy made history
That the great Tchaikovsky’s cannonball
That’s all!
You should see the Looks one gets when exuberantly sharing candy cigarettes with minors.
Maybe they will make candy E-cigs for kids nowadays.
As one recording exec observed, 2 sets of 15 year old twins - you could smell the estrogen.
Candy cigarettes and cap guns could make a game of 'Cops and Robbers' that much more exciting.

"Ode to Billy Joe.": better yet, watch the movie.
Ahhh, Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor: the Seventies were a different time.
And best left forgotten.
Wow.
Wrote and produced 'Remember...'
AND 'Too Much Too Soon'???
Farking allah that's more than enough for one musical career.
BTW - I think that Arrowsmith did a version of 'Remember...' too.
Aaaaaand here ya go:

I Want Candy
Candy
Candy is always handy?
Candy Man
Candyman...
Warning... this song goes on for eternity.
That's how I met him, the leader of the pack!
Sex and Candy (cover)
Give Him A Great Big Kiss
It doesn't get any better than this.

"Mmm, he's good bad, but he's not evil."
Lesbian Candy Store. Suggestive pulling of taffy, etc etc.
I was a little kid when I first heard "The Leader of the Pack." I disliked it immensely, immediately.
Fortunately, George Costanza would come along eventually and break the curse:
Anna: You know I'm not supposed to be talking to you.
George: No one's putting a gun to your head. Do I, uh, scare you?
Anna: No... a little. Nice car.
George: Yeah, she's a sweet ride.
Anna: Is that your orthopedic back pillow?
George: Maybe.
Anna: Well, is it or isn't it?
George: I Guess not.
