Default A song for Nancy

Found this on a GLP thread and thought it was worth sharing:

Quote:
THE SMOLDERING PLANET DIDN´T SHOW (to the tune of Bob Seeger´s "The Fire Down Below")

Here comes J William, his face is mighty red
Her comes Jan Rypdahl,wishing he was dead
Here comes May 15th -nothing´s in the sky
Here come debunkers, about to laugh until they cry.
There´s no smoldering planet. Where did it go?
They got one obvious problem
The smoldering planet didn´t show,

Here comes Steve Havas, with his rented telescope.
He´s must thinking that he´s been some kind of dope.
Here comes Obany and the other zetadrones
One thing´s for certain, Nancy Lieder´s not at home
It´s all getting too heavy. Nancy knows she better blow.
She´s got one major problem
Her silly planet didn´t show.

Well they´re lookin out for Nancy,but Nancy´s not on-line
So they´re all driving to Wisconsin, they´ll catch up with her
this time
And here comes may 15th, and nothing´s in the sky.
See the debunkers, they´re all laughing ´til they cry.
There´s no smoldering planet, So where did it go? Where´d it go?
We all got one common knowledge
The smoldering planet didn´t show.

She´s not on sci.astro, she´s not on troubled times
They can´t find her IRC chat, but she´ll answer for her crimes
She´s thinking up some new scam, so her rubes will fall in line
She´ll say planet x is coming, but in 2009

Well they´re looking out for Nancy, but Nancy´s not on-line
So they´re all driving to Wisconsin, they´ll catch up with her
this time
And here comes June first, and nothing´s in the sky.
See the debunkers? they´re laughing ´til they cry.
It´s getting way too heavy, She´s got to find some place to go.
She´s got one major problem
The smoldering planet didn´t show.

For some reason the name "Seeger" made me think of "Pete" so all I could hear in my mind was a banjo plinkin' and plunkin' as Nancy got her debunkin'! =D>

Actually, his name is Bob Segar (only one "e")! No relation to Pete Seegar (two "e"s)!

Actually it's Bob Seger with TWO "e"s, but in different places.

Well, pardner, I don't know who that masked man was, but he left us a silver bullet! :roll:

While we're on the subject of as that should be es, shouldn't that be Hober Mallow?

As Freud said, "Sometimes a Seegar is just a Seger."

(okay... I know that's bad. I couldn't help myself.)

One of the best songs I've ever heard. Where can I buy the album?

Possibly. I'll check next time I reread the Foundation series.

I can tell you right now it's Hober Mallow: I only read the Foundation Series last month.

And to prove I'm not baseless:

One
Two
Three

There's one other thing though - that quote is attributed to the wrong person. Mallow used it but the quote was coined by Salvor Hardin the first 'ruling' mayor of Terminus.

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. That rendition was mine, actually.

A certain Mr Fin Fahey provoked me into composing it. He has that and several more posted on his web site somewhere in cyberspace.

Oh, and this was my Opus Maximus. I still enjoy this one, if I do say so myself.



WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN ( after The Who)

We'd be running through the streets
With our children at our feet
But the Planet-X we worshipped hasn't shown.
And the Cult that spurred us on
Haven't said why they were wrong
If we ask, then the faithful shut us down.

I tip my hat to the new superstition
Genuflect toward the Red Apparition
Smile and grin, though no changes can be found.
I gave my house and car away.
Like I was born yesterday!
Now I get on my knees and pray...
We don't get fooled again!

Earth changes haven't come
We suspected all along
We weren't lifted-up, though we're STO
And the world is just the same
And the pole-shift never came
'Cause predictions they all change, come the next month.

I tip my hat to the new superstition
Genuflect toward the Red Apparition
Smile and grin, though no changes can be found.
I gave my house and car away
Like I was born yesterday!
Now I get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again!
No no!
...

I'll move myself and my family up high
But if we happen to be left half alive
We'll find Nancy Lieder and demand to know why
That 90 percent of life didn't die.

...

Yeaah!
...

Nothing's happening this May
That doesn't happen every day
And her foresights are revised day-by-day
The predictions that were wrong
Are now predictions that were right
The excuses have grown longer overnight.


I tip my hat to the new superstition
Genuflect toward the Red Apparition
Smile and grin, though no changes can be found.
I gave my house and car away!
Like I was born yesterday!
Now I get on my knees and pray...
We don't get fooled again!
Don't get fooled again!
No! No!

...

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the Zeta cult
Same as the old cults

Well I think it's time for another oldie but goodie.

ZetaTalker’s Site (set to the theme from Gilligan's Island)

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started inside Nancy’s mind,
And soon had her giving out tips.
Nancy thinks she had a Zeta implant
Mark Hazelwood’s insane too I’m sure.
Five Zetas set sail that day,
for a three hundred million mile tour, a three hundred million mile tour.
The debates started getting rough,
Their tiny minds were tossed.
If not for the stupidity of the insane crew,
Nibiru would be lost; Nibiru would be lost.
This hoax set ground on the shore of this uncharted internet,
with Nancy, Mark Hazelwood ,
the ZetaTalkers, and their Site,
Zechariah Stichin, and the rest,
here on ZetaTalker’s Site.

So this is the tale of our Plant X,
Its here for a long long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
Reasoning’s an uphill climb.
Nancy and Mark Hazelwood too,
will do their very best,
to make the others imbeciles,
in their ‘safe area’ nest.
No photos, no lights, no objects,
not a single thing to see.
Like Enron’s finances,
it's made-up as can be.
So join us here each week my friend,
you're sure to get a fright.
From seven insane ZetaTalkers,
Here on ZetaTalker’s Site.
