The "falling in and out of love with you" part of the original is actually a reprise from another PPL song, of that title, which immediately precedes and segues into "Amie".

Ah, thanks Steve K.! Sounds like I made the right call going with the version I know instead of trying to scare up a copy of the longer version I thought I might recall. Thanks for the read n rate, too! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

I gotta DKTOS again, however I enjoy projectile objects in general. I'm getting the feeling that someone left, so good riddance, says I. As a random note, the longest massage I ever had has outlasted some of my relationships in the past.

2nz, glad you enjoyed it... that must have been some massage!! ;) Glad you enjoyed the parody, too! So, you're the love 'em and leave 'em type, eh? :D

Nope, nobody left. My hubby is about 3 feet to my left and we're both smiling. ;) The story behind this parody is pretty dull. I was scanning the radio dial, while waiting for my youngest's school to let out, the other day, looking for a song to go with a partial line I had in mind for that sinking boat news story that was posted to the board and I came across the tail end of the Chicago song I used for yesterday's submission. As soon as I heard it, I forgot about the boat thing because my muse smacked me upside the head with the "Since you're leaving, I'm gettng even" idea that I went with. Then, when I was finished with it and went looking for a copy of the original to link to, the site I found it on had a bunch of other songs, including "Amie"... and with yesterday's submission fresh in my mind and "Amie" sounding so much like "aiming" in it, this idea popped into my head the instant I saw the song title. I hear this version of the song on the musak almost every time I work, so I had it half written in my head almost immediately.

SOTM That was a cute, clever parody...5's

Thanks Pat!

SOTM - I'm aiming at the radial dial that says five. Nice piece, Melhi.

Thanks Guy!

:-) Run out of witty comments, I'm afraid... another good parody, Melhi.

Are you sure we never dated?

SOTM--the original is one of those songs I never get sick of...=) I liked the parody, too, Melhi! Nice work! 5s...

Thanks Rick and Arwen! Rick -- oh, I hope you didn't date a real life version of this girl. (If you're familiar with the Andy Griffith Show, at all, when I was double checking the pacing on this one, shortly before submitting, I got a mental image of the Darlin' family girl singing this at Earnest T. Bass.)

(SEPT SOTM) Melhi, I had totally forgotten that this song ever existed - in fact, I had pretty much forgotten that Pure Prairie League ever existed. They had real nice harmonies and pretty good hook lines, too. 5's

Wow, this parody hurts almost as much as the rock salt shots did. (Didn't Chucky ban attacks on other authors?)

Heh heh. More great stuff from one of my faves. The title sub, especially, is classic.

Thanks Paul and Spaff!

Paul, I had forgotten it existed, too, until I hired on and started hearing it on the Muzak every time I work. To be honest, I had to look up the artist info, if I'd ever known who did it, I'd forgotten.

o/` Spaff, dude, you better beware if I find you've been creepin' down on my back step. o/` Sometimes you think you could win, but my aim's getting better and I'll shoot you again o/` Hee hee! Sorry, that just popped into my head when I read your comment. Seriously, it's a pleasure being stalked by you, Spaff, you're one of my favorite (target)s, too. ;D

(SOTM) Not bad at all!! 555

Thanks Agrimorfee!

(SOTM) Bullseye! Funny funny stuff.

Thanks Luke!

(SOTM): As a successful male AmIwriter I can't really relate to this one, all the women in the world are now my groupies and since I posted my first song here I have never been rejected once... or maybe I'm just dreaming that...

Thanks K1! (Did the rest of you see that? K1 spoke to me! He looked right at me and actually spoke to me! *swoon* :D )

I always got these guys confused with the Marshall Tucker Band for some reason (you know, "wish you could come but I don't need no woman taggin' along...") so I found this refreshing. Especially loved the choruses.

Thanks Claude! Now that you mention it, they do sound similar to the Marshall Tucker Band.

good one Mehli .. interesting feedback and some killer lines in the song and the feedback especially Rick's .....

Good chorus variety, very good parody.

Thanks Martha and John J.! Glad you enjoyed it!

(SOTM) All readers, approach with caution...author is armed and hilarious.

Hey Melhi, I really liked this one.

(SOTM) For some reason I got the impression this OS was obscure, but everyone seems to know it. Nice job.

Thanks Johnny, Pippin and Merry! Glad you enjoyed it! Merry -- I think I had just two initial ratings on this one... so all I can figure is that it's one of those people know without realizing they know it when they see the title. (?) Thanks again!
