A guy we knew named Vince Mathews started       playing this song so I sang        along and when he got stuck on the lyrics I helped him out. When he was done I       told him I was surprised to hear somebody do that song as it wasn't real well       known and Vince said, "Well, I wrote it." sagehillrube@hotmail.com       > What's creamier than milk, lighter than helium, and snappier than something       > really snappy?
