| Seat 22c
|
| Paris to Barcelona
|
| David Cassidy died last night
|
| We’re gonna sing a song for him
|
| I watched the Partridge Family when I was a kid
|
| Keith Partridge was cool
|
| And it was guys like him
|
| Who made me wanna play guitar
|
| Keith Partridge and K.K. |
| Downing and Glenn Tipton
|
| And Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath
|
| And Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
|
| David Cassidy was so cool
|
| That I read his autobiography
|
| It’s called C’mon, Get Happy
|
| And I recommend it highly
|
| It’s a bout the troubles he had
|
| Being a young TV star
|
| Being controlled by the networks
|
| And being taken advantage of
|
| Being exploited and being ripped off
|
| By those who overworked him
|
| Coming home from tours broke
|
| And cancelling tours due to over exhaustion
|
| And of his battles with depression
|
| I will not reveal how he said that he overcame
|
| And I leave that to you
|
| As the book is a must read
|
| Buy that book tomorrow
|
| It’s one of my favorite autobiographies
|
| Lots of legendary musicians passing away lately
|
| Like the late great Malcom Young of AC/DC
|
| But for now we’re gonna sing a song
|
| By this great inspirational wonder
|
| And gave us years of television entertainment
|
| The first one we’re gonna do
|
| Is my childhood in front of the television
|
| Me and my sisters would gather around it
|
| It’s the theme song of the TV show The Partridge Family
|
| Here we go it’s called
|
| Come On Get Happy!
|
| And the one we’re gonna do after that
|
| Sung by my favorite rock singer
|
| His name was Bon Scott
|
| And he wasn’t just a regular
|
| Rock singer
|
| He was a blues singer
|
| He was a soul singer
|
| But he overdosed one day like so many other singers
|
| Like Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Shannon Hoon
|
| The list goes on and on
|
| And there are more and more and more and more of ‘em
|
| But I’m not gonna go down a rabbit hole with that
|
| I’ve sung about the struggles of being an entertainer
|
| Yea, I’ve covered all that
|
| Gonna get on with what I was just talking about
|
| I’m gonna sing a David Cassidy shout out
|
| David Cassidy made us happy when we were little boys and girls
|
| So for David Cassidy right now everybody
|
| Make some fucking noise!
|
| And while we’re at it
|
| Don’t forget about Malcom Young
|
| Like a sledgehammer hit a nail
|
| Is how he strum his Gretsch guitar
|
| Malcom Young played guitar on the song Highway to Hell
|
| So for now everybody at the top of their lungs
|
| I wanna hear you fucking yell!
|
| Okay like I said
|
| A few times already
|
| We’re gonna play this song
|
| Come On Get Happy!
|
| I love you David Cassidy
|
| Thank you for all the happiness you brought me when I was a kid
|
| Rest in peace David Cassidy
|
| Rest in peace my young hero David Cassidy
|
| When I was a kid I had shoulder length long hair
|
| Parted in the middle and feathered, like David Cassidy
|
| I wore clogs and bell bottom jeans just like David Cassidy
|
| I had polyester shirts
|
| Unbuttoned three buttons down, like David Cassidy
|
| So anyhow
|
| Like I’ve already said
|
| A bunch of times
|
| We’re gonna play this song right now
|
| It’s called
|
| Come On Get Happy! |
