(6,448 posts)As I'm listening, I'm reflecting on his life: the piss-poor record deal (much like Little Richard), Tom leaving the band, the band's breakup, being sued for plagiarizing his own works...
This should be a book and a movie. But, who would play John in the movie? I never thought they'd find an actor to play Freddie Mercury--but they did. So who could be THAT convincing?

Vanz can't dance, but he'll steal your money
Watch him or he'll rob you blind. (X 4)
[Chorus]
Out in the street a crowd is gatherin'
Pushed down by the heat of the building, they're wantin' to dance
Makin' their way up the street, a boy with a pig and a radio;
Little Billy can work on the crowd, put 'em into a trance
For the little pig Vanz
[Chorus]
You're watchin' 'em dance, not a care in the world;
So Billy and Vanz get busy, they're makin' their move;
The little pig knows what to do, he's silent and quick, just like Oliver Twist;
Before it's over, your pocket is clean
A four-legged thief paid a visit on you

Jeff Lynne took aim at former ELO bandmates with "Easy Money". Lynne first got nailed with "Bend Over Beethoven".
This could be a real thing. There are probably hundreds of thinly-veiled attacks we aren't aware of.
