Re: TMZ: Dick Clark has died

Does this mean we are stuck in 2012 forever?

 

Mayans knew their shit.

 

Were goin hoppin
Were goin happin
Where things are poppin
The philadelphia way
Were gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

Were goin swingin
Were gonna swing in the crowd
And well be clingin
And floatin high as a cloud
The phones are ringin
My mom and dad are so proud
Im on bandstand

And I'll jump, and hey,
I may even showem my handstand
Because Im on,
Because Im on the american bandstand
When we dance real slow
Ill show all the guys in the grandstand
What a swinger I am,
I am on american bandstand

Were goin hoppin
Were goin happin
Where things are poppin
The philadelphia way
Were gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

Bandstand bandstand bandstand

Hey Im makin my mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey, it's mr.dick clark
What a place youve got here

Swell spot the musics hot here
Best in the east,
Give it at least a seventy five!

Now for all you joes
Here goes my american handstand
Because Im on,
Because Im on the american bandstand
As we dance real slow
Im showin the guys in the grandstand
That I like my girl,
But I love american bandstand

The singers croonin
He aint the greatest but gee
My babys swoonin
In front of all of tv
So if you tune in
Youll see my baby and me
On the bandstand

And now were hoppin
(its boss, baby it's boss) (there you go!)
And well be happin all day
(its cool, baby it's cool!) (what a show!)
The philadelphia way
And you can drop in
(no school, baby no school!) (wave hello!)
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

And well rock and roll and stroll on american
Lindy hop and slop, it's american
Tune in, Im on, turn on, Im in, Im on

Today!

 

Thanks God that ordeal of listening to the poor guy stumble through the New Year's Eve countdown is over.

 

Needed a host for the Pyramid in Heaven....

And yes, the last few years seeing him were sad, but if anyone deserved the opportunity to continue to be on TV, it was him and that show.

 

Am I the only one surprised that he was just 82-years old?

 

RIP to one of the few who had a lasting impact in multiple fields: Rock and roll, television, producing, ect.
