The Many Loves of R. Penniman

Lucille you can Keep A Knockin’ but you can’t come in.  You’ve been Slippin’ And Slidin’ with Miss Ann By The Light Of The Silvery Moon and that ain’t right.  Now I’m Ready Teddy to Rip It Up with Long Tall Sally because She’s Got It.  If she isn’t ready to be my True Fine Mama, maybe Cherry Red will Send Me Some Lovin’.  I will look All Around The World to find the Girl That Can’t Help It giving me the Heeby Jeebies.  Lawdy Miss Clawdy, can’t find the girl for me.  I’m Going Home Tomorrow to Kansas City.

Rolled And Stoned

He – I know I’m a Midnight Rambler, but I can come to your Emotional Rescue.  Won’t you Tell Me you want to Live With Me?  I’m through with Honky Tonk women.

She – This could be the Last Time I tell you – Jumpin’ Jack Flash is my boyfriend.  You Can’t Always Get What You Want, you just want to tell people I’m Under Your Thumb. 

He – I can’t get no Satisfaction.  I thought that we could have a rosy future, but now I’ll just Paint It Black.  Won’t anyone Gimme Shelter?  I don’t have a Heart Of Stone.

Memphis Love

I’m in Heartbreak Hotel Too Much, but I’m Moving On.  I Feel So Bad because I Got A Woman way across town, but that Hard Headed Woman is nothing but a Hound Dog and Too Much T-R-O-U-B-L-E.  That’s All Right; I’ve been Trying To Get To You Maybelline.  Forget your Suspicious Mind.  Don’t Be Cruel and Reconsider Baby or I’ll Be All Shook Up.  Let’s have a Party One Night.  If you Surrender, Wear My Ring Around Your Neck, and I could borrow some Money Honey, we could get married while they play Hawaiian Wedding Song or Viva Las Vegas.

Love Bug

Eleanor Rigby, we should Come Together to Drive My Car.  You would get All My Loving as we travel Helter Skelter Across The Universe, or we could take The Long And Winding Road through Kansas City where we could get a Ticket To Ride.  I don’t need Long Tall Sally, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, or Lovely Rita In My Life.  Oh! Darling, Got To Get You Into My Life, or I’ll be a Nowhere Man.  We could listen to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band play Rock And Roll Music while playing with Rocky Racoon, Rain or shine.

On a whim I decided to write rock star love songs using the artists’ song titles. The first two are in A Story In A Hundred Words, and the set is in Raven Cage. Artists in order – Little Richard, Rolling Stones, Elvis, and The Beatles.
