OK, now that I have your attention…
Last night, I went with a couple of lawyer friends to Saboru. If you don't live in Portland, or just don't know, Saboru is the sushi place in Sellwood. The portions are huge, the fish is tasty! If you go there, only order half as much as you normally do, and you still will not be able to finish it all.
ANYWAY, while eating, the stereo started playing some old songs from high school and we immediately started referring to them as "The Hooker Song", and "The Pedophile Song". Then one of my friends asked me which album "The Stalker Song" was on.
The amazing thing is that even though we all giggled about it, we all knew exactly what songs from the early 80s we were talking about.
Do you know what the songs are? They are all by the same group, if that helps. And ironically, the name of the group reflects who comes to the rescue of the victims in each of the aforementioned crimes.
It get's a littel creepy if you think about it at all. But I can say that, I sat through both Dune and Brimstone & Treacle.
Answers are here (highlight with your mouse to see the song titles and group name):
The Stalker Song: Every Breath You Take
The Pedophile Song: Don't Stand So Close To Me
The Prostitute Song: RoxaaaaaaaneThe Group: The Police

hey, it doesn't work for me… firefox, xp. didst thou forget the rollover code?
oooh, technology is grand.
oh well. it's not a rollover thing, it's just that the text answers are the same color as the grey background balloon. so when you highlight all of the text in the balloon, the light grey characters should show up.
Or maybe that's a mac thing.
try this: click on "Stalker" and while holding down the mouse, drag all the way down to "the group" and you will see the invisible text show up (I think).
if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll post the anti-climax answers in another reply…
Yep, completely valid. There's a George Strait song called 'What'll you do about me?' that I found cute and amusing in the '80's , and now it just sounds like grounds for a restraining order. And let us not forget, in those days, 'The Homecoming Queen's got a gun' was a joke.
Just sayin'
um, I think "What'll You Do About Me" is a Randy Travis song. I agree with what you said tho, it's a catchy tune about how he's gonna bash the new boyfriend whenever he comes around…
Remember when I decided I liked Randy Travis and everyone around me (i.e. you) thought I was crazy for listenin' to C&W?
Ha! and now I'm flying to San Francisco just to see Trisha Yearwood in concert.
times have changed.
No, it's not a Mac thing. It works with lowly PCs as well.
But I did not have to cheat and look at the answers. I knew what songs you were talking about.
I heard, saw, read (I don't remember which) an interview with Sting where he was talking about the song Every Breath You Take. Of course there wasn't the term "stalker" when he wrote it but he did mean it to be a song about a dangerously obsessed person. He said it was disturbing to him when he heard the song used as a love song or in a wedding. It made him wonder about the mental stability of the people using it that way.

You saw Trisha Yearwood??? YOU SUCK!!
Ok, you don't, but Man….
Yes, live in Texas long enough, and you are sucked into the C&W side of the force…my husband can't STAND it, though…
How can you resist lines like "If it wern't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates?"
I've seen Trisha Yearwood twice, thankyouverymuch. But the one I was talking about in the above post is next Thursday. it will be my THIRD time to see her. I wonder if she'll invite Stevie Nicks to come up on stage when she performs Landslide like she did last time.
…not that stevie was there or went up on stage or anything, but it was a nice gesture…
Pig. Slut. BEAST. Bitch.
I snort at your nice gesture and call you something food based that only makes sense in French!!!
Dumb old boy….
wait, where was I being nice? :p
for some reason your post reminded me of the song "Da Da Da" by Trio. too bad Bill Gates co-opted it for a cheesy video a few years ago and ruined it forever.
…da da da…
I thought…Michael Jackson ?? No that would be to easy.
ah, i see. guess I expected more razzamatazz….
