RE: Getting an early start on Friday: docs in pop songs

["Chris Vickery" <cvickery -at- arenasolutions -dot- com>]

Roger Waters, "Perfect Sense, Part I":

  He said Mama Mama
  The President's a fool
  Why do I have to keep reading
  These technical manuals?
  And the joint chiefs of staff
  And the brokers on Wall Street said
  Don't make us laugh
  You're a smart kid
  Time is linear
  Memory is a stranger
  History is for fools
  Man is a tool in the hands
  Of the great God Almighty
  And they gave him command
  Of a nuclear submarine
  And sent him back in search of
  The Garden of Eden

I can't think of too many others...what about Elvis Costello's "Every
Day I Write the Book"? U2's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb"?

Subject: Getting an early start on Friday: docs in pop songs

>From Joni Mitchell's "Electricity"
(http://jmdl.com/guitar/tab.cfm?id=145)

 The masking tape tangles
 It's sticky and black
 And the copper
 Proud headed Queen Lizzie
 Conducts little charges
 That don't get charged back
 While the technical manual's busy
 She's not going to fix it up too easy

I have no idea what that all means, but I like that it
has "technical manual" in it; I'm easy to please...

Any other pop songs that mention tech writer
creations?
