Results are in! Beyonce got skunked, and Patsy narrowly denied both Paul
Simon and Van The Man their second MPulitzers (Correction: Van does not
have even one). And just look at what she won with. Sappy.
The MP's usually astute literary evaluators gave the award to what looks to
me to be the poem of a 7th grader. Props to those who correctly ID'd that it
was the pen of Willie Nelson that brought this winning prose into this world.
I'm not sure what grade he was in when he wrote it.
Once again the wishes of the chief MP voter were overridden by the teeming
masses. I went for Paul Simon. Check it out:
Fat Charlie the Archangel
Sloped into the room
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys
And I don't seem to be happy about that
Pretty good, no? "Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon." Let a simile
be your umbrella.
Be preparing for the people's choice nominations in a couple of weeks. MP
upper management is going on vacation.

Crazy In Love - Beyonce
Crazy Love - Van The Man
Crazy Love Vol. II - Paul Simon
**Crazy - Patsy Cline (w/b Willie Nelson)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
**Winner of MPulitzer
Crazy! Here's the list of MP # 9 selections. Nice, eh? Sorry Prince,
Beyonce's just more relevant in today's poetical environment, so you're out.
Esteemed MP voters may however write in Prince's "Let's Go Crazy", but I've
a feeling Patsy will be tough to beat. She had a great voice, died young
and was a rabid tax-cutter. How's anyone gonna beat that?
Rock the Vote! Next week I will clean out the cupboards here at MP HQ. It
will be a good one.
Crazy In Love - Beyonce
=========================
Yes! so crazy right now
Most incredibly
It's your girl b

When I talk to my friends so quietly
"Who he think he is?" Look at what you've done to me
Tennis shoes don't even need to buy a new dress
You ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
Yeah, but I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now
(Your love)Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch's
Got me lookin so crazy right now (Your touch)

They're like "hey is he insane?"
Yes sir I'm cut from a different cloth
My texture is the best fur, I'm chinchilla
I've been ill of the chain smokers
How you think I go the name hova

The game's over
Fall back young ever since
I made you change over to platinum
The game's been a wrap

Got me looking so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself lately
I'm foolish, I don't do this
I've been played myself
Baby I don't care
Cuz your love got the best of me
And baby you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
Cuz baby you got me so crazy
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin so crazy right now (Your love)
Got me lookin so crazy right now your touch's
Got me lookin so crazy right now (Your touch)
Got me hoping you page me right now your kiss's

Crazy Love - Van Morrison
================================
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
Crazy Love Vol. II - Paul Simon
===================================
Fat Charlie the Archangel
Sloped into the room
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys
And I don't seem to be happy about that
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
She says she knows about jokes
This time the joke is on me
Well, I have no opinion about that
And I have no opinion about me
Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It's all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
On the evening news
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
Fat Charlie the Archangel
Files for divorce
He says well this will eat up a year of my life
And then there's all that weight to be lost
She says the joke is on me
I say the joke is on her
I said I have no opinion about that
Well, we'll just have to wait and confer
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
Crazy - Patsy Cline
====================================
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
=============================================
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love
There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock'n'Roll
She drives my crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat
I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track's
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
I gotta be cool relax get hip!
Get on my track's
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love...
