Wakal Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 THE BALLAD OF IRVING Frank Gallop He was short and fat, and rode out of the West With a Mogen David on his silver vest. He was mean and nasty right clear through, Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too. They called him Irving. Big Irving. Big, short Irving. Big, short, fat Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread, With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head. He always followed his mother's wishes, Even on the range he used two sets of dishes. Irving. Big, fat Irving. Big sissy Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he, But Irving was looking for one forty-three. Walked into Sol's Saloon like a man insane, And ordered three fingers of two cents plain. Irving. Big, fat Irving. Big sport Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. One day Bad Max happened into town. His aim was to shoot fat Irving down. Bad Max said, "Draw, and draw right now!" And Irving drew, drew a picture of a cow. Irving. Big, fat Irving. Big gunfighter Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. The James Boys was comin' on a train at first sun, And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun." When that train pulled in at the break of dawn, Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone. Irving. Big, fat Irving. Big help, Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly. It was right outside the Frontier Deli. He was sittin' there twirlin' his gun around, And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down! Irving. Big, fat Irving. Big dum-dum Irving. Big dum-dum dead Irving. The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercomp9 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 ok well not quite Gun Fighter but then again . Filter - Hey man Nice Shot I wish I would've met you now it's a little late what you could've taught me I could've saved some face they think that your early ending was all wrong for the most part they're right but look how they all got strong that's why I say hey man nice shot what a good shot man a man has gun hey man have fun nice shot now that the smokes gone and the air is all clear those who were right there got a new kind of fear you'd fight and you were right but they were just to strongthey'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they consider wrong that's why I say hey man nicenice shot what a good shot man a man has gun hey man have fun nice shot I wish I would've met you I wish I would've met you I'd say nice shot" then there is Nickelback - Side of a bullet Wrote in memory fo DimeBag Darrel Abbot of Pantera Uncle Sam taught him to shoot Maybe a little too well Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet He hit the stage so full of rage And let the whole world know it Six feet away, they heard him say "Oh God, don't let him pull it" Please God, don't let him pull it How could you put us through it? His brother watched you do it How could you take his life away? How could you be so full of hate? And when I heard you let him die And made the world all wonder why I sat at home and on my own, I cried alone And scratched your name On the side of a bullet And in the wake of his mistake So many lives are broken Gone forever from a loaded bullet And no excuse that you could use Could pull somebody through it And to this day so many say "God why'd you let him do it?" How could you let him do it? How could you put us through it? His brother watched him do it How could you take his life away? How could you be so full of hate? And when I heard you let him die And made the world all wonder why I sat at home and cried alone and on my own I scratched your name On the side of a bullet [X3] Which both songs are in rotation on the Ipod...

She's a little freak, but she'll take you in. You might be sittin' at the end of a firing pin. Gun love, gun love, gun love, She's a real gun lover, Gun love, gun love, gun love, She's a real gun lover tonight. She's so particular, she likes a Smith and Wesson or Colt. But she'll give you some lovin' as long as she's cockin' the bolt. Better hold on when she's up to her tricks Playin' Russian Roulette but she'll load all six. Gun love, gun love, gun love, She's a real gun lover, Gun love, (gun love) gun love, (gun love) gun love, She's a real gun lover tonight. She likes the punch deep down in her pistolero. Running with the wild bunch, makin' like a Robert Dinero. She's kinda shy but make no mistake, She'll shoot you full of love till your love bone aches. Gun love, gun love, gun love, She's a real gun lover, Gun love, (gun love) gun love, gun love, She's a real gun lover tonight. She's a real gun lover. She's a real gun lover tonight.

mlmiller1 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Don't forget "The Ballad of Liberty Valance"The man who shot him was the fastest of them all. I guess I'm old enough to remember, I think, the man who shot Liberty Valance was the "bravest" of them all. What kind of weirdo is a Gene Pitney fan anyway? I guess I am.

gringop Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 He rode a blazing saddle He wore a shining star His job to offer battle to bad men near and far He conquered fear and he conquered hate He turned dark night into day He made his blazing saddle a torch to light the way When outlaws ruled the west And fear filled the land A cry went out for a man with guts to take the west in hand They needed a man who was brave and true with justice for all as his aim Then out of the sun rode a man with a gun And Bart was his name Yes Bart was his name He rode a blazing saddle He wore a shining star His job to offer battle to bad men near and far He conquered fear and he conquered hate He turned dark night into day He made his blazing saddle a torch to light the way Gringop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo radley Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Before I started this sport, I didn't realize how many references to IPSC escaped me, in popular songs... For example, 80's New Wave artist Adam Ant sung about the challenges of fixed-position shooting, and difficult classifiers, in his powerful anthem: "Stand and Deliver." Recently, I learned Sheryl Crow is no fan of shooting minor: in her song "Soak up the Sun," from the album of the same name, she lets listeners know she prefers the heavy metal when she ends the chorus with -- "I'm going to soak up the sun... Got my .45 on So I can rock on" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Not intending to be political... This is the only ammo loading tune I know Sing along The eastern world, it is exploding Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’ You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’ You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’ And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’ But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don’t believe We’re on the eve of destruction. Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today? If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave [Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy] And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don’t believe We’re on the eve of destruction. Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’ I’m sitting here just contemplatin’ I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation. Handful of senators don’t pass legislation And marches alone can’t bring integration When human respect is disintegratin’ This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’ And you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don’t believe We’re on the eve of destruction. Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama You may leave here for 4 days in space But when you return, it’s the same old place The poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend You don’t believe We’re on the eve Of destruction Mm, no no, you don’t believe We’re on the eve of destruction.
