Before Christmas I posted a list of songs with no chorus and it was one of the most read posts from this blog, with tens and tens of views. So, here are a few more for you:
- Color My World, by Chicago.
- Dancin’ Shoes, by Nigel Olsson. (Sound familiar? Olsson was the longtime drummer for Elton John.)
- Casual Sex, by My Darkest Days.
- By The Time I Get To Phoenix, by Glen Campbell.
But hold up. “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” makes pretty much no sense. Just walk through it. “By the time I get to Phoenix / she’ll be rising.” Okay, so Glen’s in Phoenix by six or seven in the morning, right?
Then it’s, “By the time I make Albuquerque / she’ll be working.” Phoenix to Albuquerque is over 400 miles. Even with how fast I drive we’re talking a good five hours here. How freaking long does it take her to get ready for work? She’s pretty much going to roll in at noon, just in time for a lunch break?
Next up is, “And by the time I make Oklahoma / she’ll be sleeping.” If he’s headed to or through Oklahoma City he’s going to take I-40 directly east and be in Oklahoma in about five or six more hours. So, the woman who starts work at noon is apparently tuckered out and crashes before Wheel of Fortune comes on. And if Glen’s really in a hurry to get to Oklahoma (doubtful) he can be there in four hours by cutting northeast from Albuquerque, through Clayton, and into the Okie panhandle near Felt.
Apparently these two just aren’t in sync. He’s a diehard road tripper and she’s a part-time employee who’s asleep before sundown. It’s no wonder they’re no longer a couple.
