I came up with this week's Top Five, so it should be easy for me. Right?!
Top five songs with names of "flowers" in the title.
1. Love Is A Rose - Neil Young Neil is usually pretty good with lyrics, but on the second verse of this one he goes of into the land of the lyrically challenged... "I want to go to an old hoe down Long ago in a western town Pick me up if my feet are draggin' Give me a lift and I'll hay yer wagon..." Huh?!
2. Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison One of the most popular "wrist-slashers" of all time...
3. Tiptoe Through The Tulips - Tiny Tim Damn! Lady Starlight's age is really showing on this one!
4. The Rose - Bette Midler From the soundtrack of the movie of the same title
5. You Don't Bring Me Flowers - Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond It doesn't say what kind of flowers, but judging from the rest of the songs it's most likely roses...
That was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, and I have no one but myself to blame, except maybe for Neil Young. Love Is A Rose was on my mental loop when I was asked for ideas for this meme...
Damn you, Neil!
Never mind, I'll forgive you 'cos you're so sexy...
