For the musically inclined or challenged... depending on how much Guinness you've had

[Temptaker]

It has become apparent recently that we have a number of budding song writers on these forums. So for your amusement and entertainment and inspiration, I give the following offering.

[NJFFSA16]

That's the spirit! Songs like these are what make our countries great.:rolleyes: I immediately thought of great songwriters...rolling over in their graves!:D LOL

A page right out of "The Greatest Hits, according to Dr. Dimento."

Thanks Robin!

[MalahatTwo7]

Try this one on for size. It is the local radio station that both supported by both myself and Firefighter26. Once you select the link, follow the upper tool bar, select "downloads" and then off that, select "All Bad Band". There are a couple different choices to make there. Try "Slow Walkin' Walter". The other two are very definitely locally applied. Langford is located just north of Victoria, but south of Malahat. If your a Hillbilly ;), then these are an absolute must for your music collection. If you aren't, well just sit back and enjoy the ambiance that comes with the music. :)



I have a couple others on file, that are no longer listed, if any are interested. http://www.theq.fm/welcome/index.html

[Temptaker]

I thought I would compile the Greatest hits album of the IACOJ. I seem to be missing some. I do apologize, if you know where more are please post them, for the people who haven't seen them before.

Without further ado, for your listening pleasure are our esteemed IACOJ song writers/singers.

To the tune of the Brady Bunch

The Crusty Bunch

Here's a story, Of a good jake,
Who was riding a very lovely engine.
All his crew had leather helmets, Like their Captain,
The youngest one's a probie.

Here's a story, Of an online forum,
Which was read by many jakes on their own.
They were crusty men, Wearing all leathers,
but they were all alone.

Till the one day when the captain joined us online
and they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group would somehow form an Association.
That's the way we all became The Crusty Bunch,
The Crusty Bunch, The Crusty Bunch.
That's the way we became The Crusty Bunch.

Sing this to the tune of "Gilligan's Island".

"Crusty Old Jakes"

Just log right on and you'll see a thread
A thread full of crusty jakes
There's lots of crusty guys out there
But these guys take the cake.

The Cap was the might Gonzo man
Who always gave three cents
And with him was his old pal Adze,
Whose thoughts are always bent.
His thoughts always bent.

The mutts all started getting rough
The crusty jakes were tossed
If not for the wisdom of JTL,
They surely would be lost.
They surely would be lost.

The jakes hid out on the threads of this
Of Firehouse.com
With Captain G...and Motown too
The superchef, and NJ...
Truck sixty-six, and please don't forget that Steamer fits...
Here with crusty old jakes!

Sung to the tune of Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks
by the Canadian trio of 27, 26 and Temptaker (guys don't let me down)

Blame it all the weather
we all wore our leathers
And chased away the mutts
The one’s with the crust
our showing a must
we kicked them all in their butts
And we saw the surprise
And the fear in their eyes
When 26 took out his black grain
And we snapped at you
Said mutts are all through
and we’ll never see you again

'Cause we know jakes from all places
The guinness flows free
And the rum makes us feel Okay.
We’ll move a big line like a horse at the races,
so step aside we’ve covered all bases
’cause we know jakes from all places

Written by Temptaker
Guess who just got back today?
That wild-eyed boy JTL who'd had been away
Things changed, there's much to say
But man, I still think that IACOJ is great

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boy is back in town

You know the chick (superchef) that used to cook a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor over a steaming pot
Man when I tell you she was cool, her food is red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at 1835wayne's place
Well this chick got up and she smeared dessert on his face
Man we just fell about the place
1835wayne wanted chocolate, and he got it...

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The Guiness will flow and stories will spill
If the boys want to talk, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that JTL is here again

The boy is back in town

Written by Temptaker

Here they come
The boys in the bright red fire truck
Wearin' hats sayin' IACOJ
Who do they think they are
And where did they get that name

There they go
The boys in the bright red fire truck
Honking at all the girls
It's jack-of-all-trades Stan
And Jerry the fireman

There they go
The boys are really rollin'
Some old lady called 911
Said the smoke is really flowin', flowin'

There they go
The boys are really rollin'
Some old lady called 911
Said the smoke is really flowin', flowin'

Here they come
The boys in the bright red fire truck
Wearin' hats sayin' IACOJ
Who do they think they are
And where did they get that name

Ballad of a COJ

When out of the dust
There arose such a crust,
As far as the eye could see…

With boots pulled up high
He let out a cry;
“Crusty old jakes, are we”.

While jerking on hose,
Black snot dripped from their nose
And leather covered their head…

With gray hair and a wrinkle
In their eyes was a twinkle,
To a junior, this was said:

“Have a heart of a lion,
And never stop tryin’
To reach for your dream;

Always be quick and
When the sh*t gets thick,
Remember the rest of your team.

Listen, look and learn,
Wait for your turn
And give unselfishly…

You’ve pass the test
Just like the rest;
You’re a crusty old jake like me!”

And the sign on the station said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
The Captain said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me fight'n fires for you."

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said,
"STOP"
but it was twisted out of sight
So I jumped off the rig to see what I could do.
I tried to straighten it up right.
I gave it a tug and pull,
But that sign, it just would move
Then it flew up, and in my face
I didn't know what to do.

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, probie, can't you read?
You got to Stay back 500 feet.
You can't even watch. No, you can't see.
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "Fire Line: Do not pass…"

[FlyingKiwi]

I immediately thought of great songwriters...rolling over in their graves!

NJFFS_A16

Would that mean they are de-composing?

[EastKyFF]

ARGH! The pun! Kiwi, I have vomited.

Kiwi sent ten puns to me hoping one would make me laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

When I get more time, I got a tune in mind.

[Ohiovolffemtp]

Actually EastKyFF, we just thought those songs were more than you could Handel. You should be glad that they weren't all poetry, 'cause then they'd be going from bad to verse.

I must be off...

[CJMinick390]

Now, does anyone out there have any musical talent? We could record these and sell the resulting recordings to raise money for worthy causes, such as necessary items for the BMI. Don't look at me personally. I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

[Temptaker]

You know the funny thing about musical talent, is the more you have to drink, the better you think you sound... or is it the less you care? Sorta like that invisible and/or invincible stage of being drunk.

Invisible: no one can see me therefore I can do whatever I want...
Invincible: I am better, strong, and faster then everyone else, therefore I can do whatever I want...

I think when the two get combined that is generally when REALLY stupid people get into their cars and try to drive home.

Kinda like the froms Travis Tritt's "Ten Feet Tall and Bullettproof"
