Aroma Forest Sing Along!
Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted Apr 24, 2000
Yes, and believe it or not, I started singing it on here before it was on the front page this morning!

I've always thought the lyrics to this are too weird 
Here, have a cup *pours a glass of metallic hydrogen from his insulated jug. Hands cup to Irv*
Sorry, no hydroxium today 
Anyone else want one?

Actually, the American Pie entry was on the 'New Entries Today' list and my homepage on Friday.
But I don't like the song. Is boring, and too civilised.

Well, I didn't see it then. But I quite like the song because, as I've mentioned elswhere, I'm a word person.

In fact, as I've just mentioned it a total of THREE TIMES I think it's time I shut up on the subject

Just think about poor me, who can't go two forums without mentioning the I words. Or the H word.

American Pie is loooong...makes me think of my early childhood, which is funny, because my early childhood occured during the 80s.

It makes me think of my mid childhood, which took place in the very early '90s.

Hey everyone, I'm a saint! Like Lil!
Any of you heard Cream's live rendition of Spoonful? I think the one I got, on History Of Eric Clapton (taken from Live Cream) is nearly 20 minutes long.
There's a song called Jerusalem which is 55 minutes long.
Tubular Bells @ 25 minutes.
And of course Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Sign Of The Cross and The Clansmen. 14, 12 and 9 minutes long respctively. By Iron Maiden.

Are we just talking long songs? 'Cause I've heard that the live version of In A Gadda Da Vitta (Iron Butterfly) is half an hour long. And the song only has one verse!

Mike -
I think my mother, who has far better taste in music than I, has that Cream CD.
Oh, do you realise "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a giant poem by Coleridge?
Maybe you inspired em, Irv.
"Dream on. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on..."

Dream until your dream comes true

Mike A (snowblind) Posted Apr 25, 2000
Yup, Ioreth, the song was inspired by the poem.

I happened on a site that gave the meaning to the lyrics of American Pie (or at least the meaning that the site author attributes to them). I always knew they had something to do with the plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens, but I didn't know that the name of the plane was "Miss American Pie". Not sure if that is true, or whether that is a speculation on the part of the site author. Here's the URL

Actually, here's a better site (just did another search - the first site seems to be derrived from this one)
