I remember singing "Nine to Nine" w/ the words changed to "I'm here at Straight and feeling hate/
Nine to nine I'm doing time"
"Sing Halleluia to the Lord" became "Sing Halleluia to Pink Floyd", and "Little Piece of Tin" became an ode to my air guitar:
"I've got a little piece of air
No one can hear it but I don't care
Got six strings and a whammy bar
It's my electric air guitar"
I used to LOVE to play air guitar in Straight---it irked the hell out of Staff (and cost me a few delicious Straight meals---Love ya, Mrs. Boker, you make great soup!)and it always struck me as funny how something as moronic as playing air guitar could get them so riled up. One doofus who confronted me said "Air guitar was a big part of my past and I don't appreciate you doing it in my group". Sheesh! I had fun singing "War Pigs" during a homes rap one day, too. Mark McCowen even let me finish the tune. Wonder how many Straightlings "felt weak" hearing me belt out a Sabbath tune. I'm sure all the guys in that homes rap are strung out on whiskey and smack nowadays. That's the power of the Sabs, baby!
