"I'm Mike Jones, I'm Mike Jones" (I'm Butch Ryan, I'm Butch Ryan). First of all, how in the hell can that be song lyrics? Number two, and it becomes a hit? Falls into the "what the..." catagory for me. I guess some artists' lyrics will be forgiven just because of the artist (or genre). I've always thought to myself that if I walked into a rehearsal and told the band, "here are the chords", and then they asked for the lyrics and I said, "oh, I'm just gonna sing dee-do-do-do, dee-da-da-da" or "uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh", that I would be: A.) mocked and ridiculed, B.) beat about the head and neck with a glass bottle, C.) made to walk the plank (your basic "mutiny"), D.) told I suck. Lyrics. Lyyyyyrics. Lyricsssss. Damn. Not always an easy thing. I need to work on me lyrics. Don't want to get A,B,C, or D, do I? I'm sure I'll get by. I know when they need work, I know when they're right on. Degree in English from the University of South Florida, ya know (GO BULLS). Still, how would I ever know "dee-do-do-do, dee-da-da-da" could be a huge hit? Guess you gotta go with your gut, and to hell with everything else. Take care. Later, Butch
