Old Bands Round 2 Queen vs. Elton John

ZebraRampage · 07-07-2004, 06:58 PM

Queen

Killer Queen

She keeps Möet et Chandon
in her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
for Khrushchev and Kennedy
And anytime an invitation
you can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime.

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
if you're that way inclined (she's a
killer queen)

Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
playful as a ***** cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
She's all out to get you

She's a killer queen
gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite wanna try?

Wanna try?

Elton John

Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Elton, but of course

Fantastic sig ZR. Outside of animals and whichever ELO album that is, I'd have to say that those are my favorite albums for each of those bands

Joeiss · 07-07-2004, 07:20 PM

Queen.

I like to change it up every now and then, and I didn't want to use The Wall, or DSotM, because everyone knows them, so I used my third favorite Pink Floyd album. As for ELO, nobody would have known it was them if I had used an album like Out of the Blue, so I used...well crap, I forget the name of it, but it said ELO on it pretty big, so that's mainly why I used that one.

Edit: Ah, yes, the ELO album is A New World.

Anyway, I'm going to vote for Elton John. At first I wasn't sure, because they're both good, but Queen IS overrated, and we need to get them out before they do really DUMB damage in the future of this poll, because they're very popular..even though they're not the greatest.

Elton John...

I really like Queen...a really good, unique sound...but Elton gets the slight edge here

You could have used Meddle or Wish you were here. I think both are superior to Animals.

This is bull ****. The fat gay guy should easily be winning.

I prefer the cover to Animals better.
