Ok, we have a lot of budding Musical Lyric writers out there, and I was asked recently to re post Lyrics I wrote way back in 1980 for a popular song..

So, take a song and twist the Lyrics to make it all about Vans...

Like my rendition of, California Girls by you know who !

East Coast Vans are Hip,
I really dig those tires they wear,

And the Southern Vans, and they way they rev,
they knock me out when I am down there,

The Mid West Farmers Vans,
make you feel all right,

And the Northern Vans, and Baby's heat,
Keeps Guy and Judy warm all night,

I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California, Vans,

The West Coast has the sun shine, and the girls get so tan,
I dig A French Bikini, on the wild mural vans,
And a magged G60, in the sand,

I've been all around, this big wide world,
and I have seen all kinds of vans,
But I can't wait to get back to the States,
Back to the cutest van's in the world,

I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California, Vans,

Your stuck inside chain link walls. Locked inside forever.
I'm never drivin nothin, nice again like you.
Baby You, Baby You.
If I ever get out you of there. I'll never park you in town again.
All I need is a length of pipe, and I'll get you out of there.
Well the gate exploded with a mighty crash as I jumped into my van.
1st gear smoked and 2nd did too as I speed shifted just for fun. Van on the run, Van on the run.
And the tow truck man and officer Sam were searchin everyone for the Van on the run, van on the run, van on the run, van on the run.
Well the scrapman drew a heavy sigh as he saw my van was gone, and the bell stopped ringing on the crushing machine for this old van had run. Van on the run, Van on the run.
And the tow truck man and officer Sam were searchin everyone for the van on the run, van on the run, van on the run, van on the run.
Well night had settled out deep in the hills and we began to party down.
Back in town they 're searching for us everywhere but we never will be found. Van on the run, van on the run.
And the metermaid that can't get laid will search for evermore for the van on the run, van on the run, van on the run, The van on the run.

Here is one more and then I'm done. This is done to Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band". It's Called "We Drive American Vans."

Out on the road for fifty Years.
Lots of room for cargo, friends and for beer.
Sweet sweet Econos with a bed in the back, they've run every road and that's a natural fact.
Up all night in old G-10's.
Good place to be when the partyin begins.
An A series full of ladies can treat you right,
as long as you can make it down the road tonight.
We drive American Vans.
We Drive American Vans.
We're comin to your town we'll help you party it down.
We drive American Vans.
A tricked out Vandura in Omaha
with ghost flame paint was seen cruizin the mall.
Feelin good feelin right it's Saturday night.
Campin in a Ram van is out-a-sight.
Now these fine vanners they had a plan.
They all made a run up to Dairyland.
They said; "Come on Dudes lets get it on" and they proceded to party those fairgrounds down.
We drive American Vans.
We drive American Vans.
Were coming to your town. We'll help you you party it down.
We drive American Vans.

Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

Hello light brite,

Ain't cha got no tunes for me?

Feelin' groovy.

I've got blenders to do,
and trophy's to reap.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the vanning time drop all it's memories on me.
Van, I love you,
All is groovy.

Virtual, you missed my big Karaoke Debut at Carson Racing Camp at the 40th Natz where i made him delete " Wild Thing " right of his system, then plied me with more alcohol to shut me up for good.. lol

Now retired as a singer, I will settle for being a simple Van Lyricist from now on...You can all unplug your ears now lol angel

Is there any video of that Doc, lol. I'll have to ask Karson he's pretty handy with the webcam on his laptop smile.
I think he got it when my first line was " Wild thing, this will make your arse sting "
