"When I found out she wanted to save the environment, I sewed 'No thanks' on my parka."

Last night, the "American Idol" kids were singing Bee Gees songs (and had geezerly Barry Gibb on hand to "explain" stuff like the way "How Deep Is Your Love" is supposed to be sexy). But the Eurovision kids -- Eurovisionaries? -- make up with their own crappy lyrics.

I'll bite.

If the lyrics are crappy, you could alwys change them to your liking. Examples:

Jackson Browne's "Tender is the Night" becomes -

Tender is the Steak
When you hold your knife and fork so right
Pass the salt and the pepper
Tender is the steak...


Foreigner's "Dirty White Boy" and "Urgent" are now -

Dirty White Clothes...

Followed by -

Get it clean with Detergent...

And my personal fave, "Born in the Fifties" by the Police, becomes....

We were born, born in the Sixties
Born. Born in the Sixties

My Mother cried
when Elvis Presley died
she said it was the CIA
But I knew better

Would they dropped the bomb on us
while we drank “Sex On The Beach”
we were the class the couldn’t reach
’cause we knew better

We were born, born in the Sixties
Born. Born in the Sixties

And we screamed
when the Police sang Oh
but String went solo and broke up the band
Oh we should have known better

We wore parachute pants
and we learned to break-dance
we found our faith and prayed to Tammy Fay on the TV
Oh, we should have known better

We were born, born in the Sixties
Born. Born in the Sixties

We died our hair blond, and dressed like the freaks on MTV
We stood in line for hours, to watch Jaws, Star Wars, and E.T.
Ron and Nancy said “Just Say NO!”
to cocaine and angel dust
you don’t understand us
we are not the Walrus
we ruined the future ’cause we all became teachers!

We were born, born in the Sixties
Born. Born in the Sixties…
