American Idol Song Requests

If you could request to hear a certain song done on a night of American Idol .. say the contestants had to choose from requests sent in ..

what song would you pick???

I'd take:

'Just a Friend' by Biz Markie

For a refresher, here are the lyrics:

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin’ to this girl from the u.s. nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin’, pourin’ with sweat
I was walkin’ through the crowd and gues who I met
I whispered in her ear, come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, how do you like the show?
She said, I was very amused
I started throwin’ bass, she started throwin’ back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, do ya have a man, she tried to pretend
She said, no I don’t, I only have a friend
Come on, I’m not even goin’ for it
This is what I’m goin’ sing

You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
And you say he’s just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend

So I took blah-blah’s word for it at this time
I thought just havin’ a friend couldn’t be no crime
’cause I have friends and that’s a fact
Like agnes, agatha, germaine, and jacq
Forget about that, let’s go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talkin’, getttin’ familiar
Spendin’ a lot of time so we can build up
A relationship or some undderstanding
How it’s gonna be in the future we was plannin’
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin’
Everytime that I ccalled her it seemed somethin’ was brewin’
I called her on my dime, picked up, and then I called again
I said, yo, who was that? oh, he’s just a friend
Don’t gimme that, don’t ever gimme that
Jus’ bust this

You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
And you say he’s just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he’s just a friend
But you say he’s just a friend

So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor’s form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn’t know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin’ my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I say
Don’t ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend

Re: American Idol Song Requests

Now a bit more seriously .. I would love to see a Don Henley night.

Re: American Idol Song Requests

Oh my, I love that song! I think I might need to get that one for my ipod.

Re: American Idol Song Requests

I think a cheesy love songs from the 80's night might be fun.

Re: American Idol Song Requests

Don Henley or Eagles specifically would be good.
How about Madonna night?

Re: American Idol Song Requests

I would pick an all 80's night, complete with costumes

Re: American Idol Song Requests

80's night would be so much fun!

Re: American Idol Song Requests

i'd love an 80's night, but a lot of them would kill the songs and try to make them more updated and that would take away from the song. anyone know what i mean? 80's songs are classics b/c in part of how cheesey they were and also b/c of that time period. can't renew it, you know?

but if i could hear one song, i think i'd want to hear some ac/dc shook me all night long

That was when Carol went back to Doug at the very end of the episode, right??? Doug had moved to Seattle or something and she went to be with him???

I love that song, by the way.

Henley (and the Eagles) have songs that are so meaningful and emotional.
