Old Abuzzers may remember that I used to indulge in scavenger hunts through song lyrics looking for particular items.

The way it works is that I think up a topic and you search your memory banks trying to find song lyrics that fit the theme.

Here, the theme is clothing. You might want to sing:

I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortabley lovely
--Donavan

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
--Elvis

Mud flowed up into Lump's pajamas
She totally confused all the passing pihranas
-- Presidents of the United States of America

Get the idea? What wardrobe items have been memorialized in song?

He never wears outide without a hat

If I were a saint with a silver cup
When the money got low we could always heat it up
Or trade it in
Then the radio to heaven will be wired to your purse
--Elvis Costello

The angles want to wear my red shoes
--Elvis again

By Stroke 9: This girl ain't gettin' her little black back pack back...
I know it
it's a shame
a shame I can't show it
and I see it
I can see it now
but I'm so far below it
don't wanna

don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turn around he's on his back and
don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

I feel you
yes I can
what about that don't you understand?
I sense you
it's something sensual
but it's less than I planned
don't wanna

don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turn around he's on his back and
don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

you're trying to find a reason for the way you feel tonight
your mind is lined with layers of lead
have you heard one thing that I've said?

don't wanna talk about it
I say why not?
don't wanna think about it
I say there's got to be some good reason
for your little black backpack
up, smack, turn around he's on his back and
don't wanna tango with you
I'd rather tangle with him
I think I'm gonna bash his head in
and this shouldn't concern you except that
just don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back

An excerpt from a true American classic.
Ben Folds Five:

So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space

Well **** you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)

That's all I need to put me in a good mood

Cake.

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut and eyes that burn like cigarettes

Okay, I want a girl that smells the coffee
I want a girl who spills the wine
I want a girl with mangled hair and words that never quite define

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket

Wow! Great additions dyslexia, jespah, little k, macsm and Slappy!

As I walked down in the streets of Laredo
As I walked down in Laredo one day
I saw a young cowpoke all dressed in white linen
All dressed in white linen as cool as the clay

Sofia! I was just trying to remember that song. Slappy's song made me think of it but I just couldn't come up with the words.
Thanks!
