Are you up to the 'Music Man' challenge?

[Sherry SK8]

My thanks to all the 'Xstatic MM Addicts' who responded to the call for comments in praise of MusicMan yesterday. The ad for Musicstop Halifax is in the works . . .

But one thread begets another thread, which begets another , which begets a thread, which thread did also build itself a city, which did quote another thread,that was invaded by The Forumites . . .

So for continued mutual pleasure (and don't even start - this is Music Man we're talking about) I will award one Canadian nickel (@ 1.1 exchange) to the best submission of either:

Famous quotes that substitute 'Music Man'

Eg.: "Give me Music Man or give me death"
" my Kingdom for a Music Man"

Or popular song lyrics that substitute Music Man

eg.

I've looked at Music Man from both sides now,
From back to front and still somehow,
It's MusicMan tone that I recall,
I really do love Musicman and Ernie Ball.

I get all the Karen Carpenter ones and Bee Gees! Well okay someone else can also use Bee Gees.

I have to go now so this is a quick one. I'll try and think of something better but this song has been in my head all day anyway.........


Thank you for the musicman, the JP I'm playing
Thanks for all the joy it's bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be, whithout a luke or an ass, what are we
So I say, thank you for the musicman, BP sold it to meeeeeeeee

Bit poo really

I love ABBA

'Have a Music Man and a smile!'

'Music Man is it!'

'Women and Music Man First!'

'Beware of the Music Man'

'Music Man, for the man who doesn't have to try too hard!'


How about song/ album titles? Sorry if these aren't proper quotes!

 

[heavymetaljames]

How about 'God gave Music Man to ya, gave Music Man to ya. gave Music Man to everyone'!?

We built this Music Man, We built this Music Man, We built this Music Man on Rock and Roll!


I need some more time!

How about the Gary Moore classic 'Music Man walkways' or 'Still got the Music Man for you' (one of Pete D's favourites no doubt!)

 

[SteveB]

"That's one small step for MusicMan, one giant leap for mankind."

"Ich bin ein MusicMan."

"Friends, Romans, countrymen... lend me your MusicMan!"

"I came, I saw, I bought a MusicMan."

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's MusicMan."

 

[edensdad]

Why do I feel like I'm suddenly in the MM marketing dept?

"MusicMan - There is no substitute."

"MusicMan - What all the other guitars aspire to."

"There are those that play, and those who play MM"

"MM the only serious choice"

"Choosey Amps choose MusicMan"

(I guess I used to watch too much TV)

You see where I'm going here

 

[Beth]

"no Music Man, no peace. Know Music Man, know peace"

 

[Bungo]

AC/DC anyone?

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest Balls of all

I've got big Balls
I've got big Balls
And they're such big Balls
Dirty big Balls
And he's got big Balls,
And she's got big Balls,
But we've got the biggest Balls of them all!

"It's a bird.. it's a plane.. it's... MusicMan!"

 

[mbgreene]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of MusicMan.

We the People, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish MusicMan

 

[mbgreene]

"no Music Man, no peace. Know Music Man, know peace"

 

[mbgreene]

"When in doubt, I'll whip it out. I got me in a rock'n'roll band
It's a MusicMan"

Play Music Man or Die (for those of you outside the US, that's a reference to the New Hampshire license plate slogan: Live Free or Die)

There is no guitar but The Guitar, and Music Man is its name. (Hmm...blasphemy? I smell a fatwah coming.)

And on the seventh day Ball created Da Bongo, and lo, he saw that it was funky.

Oh, man, that's Music, Man!

People try to put us down
(Talkin bout my Music Man)
Just becase we get around
(Talkin bout my Music Man)
etc.

Shut up and play your Music Man.

PLAY
MUSIC
MAN

Outside of a dog, a Music Man is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark and cramped to play guitar.

 

[Sherry SK8]

Why do I feel like I'm suddenly in the MM marketing dept?

Because I'd rather have expressions of sincere joy from players who are madly in love with their Music Man, than try to come up with a clever slogan that drips of boring marketing trends and overdone shlock perpetrating and insulting people's intelligence with notions of promised super stardom or worse, 20th century ideals that either betray the old age of the old guard trying to sound young, or try to create a pop culture phenominen by being the next white corporate elitist to leap on a new word or phrase from hip hop culture . . . (continue on in Monty Python like babbling with short gasps of breath in between without altering the rhythm of the babbling)

To play, or not to play.
Musicman isn't the question.

[heavymetaljames]

Music Man, Music Man, your friendly neighbourhood Music Man!

 

[Quarter]

Got Balls? ... Music Man

"Music man. It's what's for dinner"
