Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) went into a bar where they met a Rabi, a Priest and a Kung Fu master, sorry that is all I got. Wait this is better, the White House removed the core of its Ukraine policy team in the spring and replaced it with the three amigos, Gordon Sondland, Kurt Volker and Rick Perry, because they were considered more reliable for the plan to pressure Kyiv into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden. So, the three amigos walked into a bar and they were hoping to spy on Hunter Biden, but in comes Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani and he said, “Don’t worry as Trump will be loyal to all of us”, just as peeping Tom, Dick Cheney and Prince Harry arrived.
My cousin was born as Richard, but everybody called him Dick. Last week we went with the fairly normal prompt of Bottom/End/Middle/Side/Top, but this week we have something much more different. Look for songs that are written or sung by someone named Tom/Dick/Harry or a song that includes one of these names in the lyrics. We are all here to have some more fun and listen to some enjoyable music. Take some time to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this music challenge, as you will probably find many enjoyable songs. Share your music with others and post a video, try do some research and let everyone know something about the song that you post. Show the lyrics, but most important, make sure that you have fun. Try to find a song that fits the prompt, then write your post and create a pingback, or you can just place your link in the comments section.
Here are the “rules”:
• Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not. If it does not fit, then please explain why you chose this song.
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
• Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
• Ping back to this post or place your link in the comments section below.
• Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
• Feel free to suggest future prompts.
• Have fun and enjoy the music.

Although Debbie HARRY didn’t write it, this is one of my favourite Blondie tracks taken from the somewhat under-rated Auto American album.
Afterglow in a distant row
The door is open and the lights are cold
The children come in here and they dare the ghost
Like a fire burning in a stone
Silent light in the theatre’s sky
Phantom cigarette and a silent cry
The door swings open and it’s cold outside
Run and hide, run and hide
They can still see him singing on the corner singing songs
That never fade away, fade into the kids that come along
Memory in a silent seat
Melody on a long retreat
Like an angel on a balcony
Like an angel on a balcony

I am very late on this as I went on a weekend trip to a nearby city. But, I really wanted to participate in this prompt. Once I saw it, I thought about my favorite movie.
