Love is the illusion that one woman differs from another. (I don't remember who said it, but I know they were smarter than me.)
As for the Love Boat:
Quote:
He walks over to the window And without a hesitation he goes out
I walk over to the window And I see him hit the sidewalk like a trout
With a moment's indecision I can almost see him moving
Then I see the splattered pavement And I feel it's almost soothing
'Cause I know he didn't suffer Any more than was the norm
He lived life the way he found it And he left it true to form
He was standing by the TV When I saw his eyes roll upward in his head
I came over to the TV Just to find out what the anchorman had said
With a little human interest And some filler for the waiting
They were speaking of replacements And a failure in the ratings
And my friend looked pale then paler As his body lost his breath
And I listened and discovered What would send him to his death
Oh Gopher, Gopher's being fired. Contracts have expired.
Love has been retired, Buried out at sea
Every afternoon in college He'd sit down and pour himself another brew
Just as soon forsake his knowledge For an hour's entertainment with the crew
With a tub of buttered popcorn And a can or two of soda
He'd get sucked into the program Like he had to make some quota
'Cause he knows what's gonna happen 'Cause he's seen them all before
And the endless double takes Just make him want it even more
Oh Isaac, Isaac's over tired. Julie's been unhired.
Love is uninspired, Sinking in the bay.
The Love Boat, Love Boat's dropped it's anchor
Bought out by some banker Hired out as a tanker
Drifting far away
Oh Aaron Spelling you're a genius. No one could have seen this
Running all these years (Won't you tell us)
Aaron, where'd you get the notion, Love upon the ocean
Blazing new frontiers
When he heard the sad decision There was sorrow and confusion in the home
He turned off the television And he came to his conclusion on his own
With a sigh of desperation He gave in to his depression
He went out to greet the concrete Where he made his last impression
And the papers want a statement 'Cause the public wants to know
Was it just the cancellation Of a favorite TV show
The Love Boat, Love Boat's slowly sinking
Vicki's started thinking, Merrill has been drinking
One more for the road.
The Love Boat, Love Boat has been grounded
Doc is still dumbfounded. All aboard's been sounded
No where left to go
