RE: Impatiently Waiting for Freak Magnet Femmes on Compilation Disc Cover the Beach Boys Flamingo Baby ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CDRom? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why was Jez writing about a CDRom in his last post? I would be in great disbelief if some sort of VF program existed, but what else could that mean. Jez, please explain for us slow, unaware, and easily confused subscribers.

Didn't Elvis have it last? thehappycyclops -Pat. Says: They took it to Saturn with them. Somebody had better win the contest or it'll never be released. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Femmes on Compilation Disc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK, so I was digging through compilation discs at a used cd store this weekend, and I came across one that I don't remember anyone mentioning on here. It was a two-disc set from Modern Rock Live, featuring all live studio performances from their shows from over the years. It looked really good, and among other things, listed a version of "She Went To Germany". Does anybody know anything about this disc and/or this version of the song? I'm wondering if it was worth the money to pick up the set for basically this one song.... rob=) coons -Pat. Says: Yes, I forgot a few compilations. There's this one, Generation X (which I have), and I Was a Teenage Zombie, or something like that (it's a movie soundtrack). I'm sure there's even more. Modern Rock Live was a promo, never available for sale. Wasn't it the CD which came free with the purchase of a Sony Walkman or something? The version of the song is probably straight off ROCK. Whether or not you want to buy it depends on how much of a collector you are. It is also frequently available on ebay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover the Beach Boys ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ does anyone else think that the femmes should cover some beach boys songs in concert? wouldn't it be nice (ha, ha) if gordon belted out california girls or surfin' USA? comments please. john jepoole -Pat. Says: Have you heard Forbidden yet? It doesn't actually sound like the Beach Boys, but it does have a definite summer/ beach feel to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flamingo Baby ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're a flamingo .... Standing on one leg ..... yeah you're a flamingo baby.... http://www.angelfire.com/tx/scooterb/pink.html ddearry -Pat. Says: OK, this is NOT VF related, but I'd hate to see the suckers blow up this weekend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
