you're in my heart, you're in my soul
you'll be my breath should I grow old

Rod Stewart

Sandra Dodd said...

Begotten of my sinews
On the woman that I loved

"Burden of the Crown," Baldwin of Erebor
(an SCA-specific song, but a very good one)

Margaret said...

So you gave her your heart too
Just as I gave mine to you
And she broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do

"Goodie Goodie" charmingly sung by Ella Fitzgerald

Sandra Dodd said...

My pancreas attracts every other
Pancreas in the universe with a
Force proportional to the product of their masses...

Weird Al

(I broke lines to match the musical phrases...)

Sarah said...

Now I can't go on, I can't even start
I've got nothing left, just an empty heart

Bryan Adams

Sandra Dodd said...

Elvis, Elvis, let me be
Keep that pelvis far from me

Risso singing "Sandra Dee," from Grease

Anonymous said...

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Than watch you go out with other men

(Weird Al Yankovic, "One More Minute")

Sandra Dodd said...

You done stomped on my heart
You broke it all apart
Sweetheart you just sorta
Mashed on my aorta

Mason Williams

Margaret said...

I said we could get something delivered
She's like "Why would I want to eat liver."

Weird Al "Trapped in the drive through"

Sandra Dodd said...

Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting up pieces of his broken luck

Jethro Tull... gross; what were they on about!?

Margaret said...

The thigh bone's connected to the hip bone

Dry bones or them bones or something like that
(Strange and amazing version in "The singing Detective" (UK version))

Sandra Dodd said...

If I could stick my hand in my heart
Spread it all over the stage

Rolling Stones (but I'll admit I came across it listening to "The Hot Rocks Polka" by Weird Al)

Sylvia said...

yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy,
and I feel like a-lovin' you

Ohio Express

does tummy count as a body part?

Sandra Dodd said...

-=-does tummy count as a body part? -=-
Sure--that was clearly an internal "in."
===============================

Got a bulge in my intestinal wall...
Living with a hernia


Weird Al (one-stop-shopping for internal organs songs, it seems)

Margaret said...

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I try to shower you with love and kisses
But all I ever get from you
Is nagging and bragging my poor heart is sagging

probably called 'you won't be satisfied' and Ella and Louis sing it together

(I'm sure there is more weird Al - Like a Surgeon must have some internal body parts)

Sandra Dodd said...

I like your skeletal structure, baby,
You're an ectomorph no doubt

"Wanna B Ur Lovr," Weird Al

Sylvia said...

Don't play that song
That "Achy Breaky" song
I think it's driving me insane
Oh, please don't play that song
That irritating song
I'd rather have a pitchfork in my brain...

Weird Al's parody of Billy Ray Cyrus

Sandra Dodd said...

You can't hardly walk around The North Pole
Without stepping in reindeer guts

"The Night Santa Went Crazy"
(Weird Al)

Deborah in IL said...

Oh should I take a laxative or have my colon irrigated?
No, no, no

A Complicated Song
Weird Al (who else?)

Sandra Dodd said...

DOH! Deb played from the same song I was waiting to quote:

Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated
Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated

-------------------------

So...
a Weird Al song:

Just a test tube and a womb with a view...
I think I'm a clone now

Cap'n Franko said...

Heart breaker, with your .44,
I'm gonna tear your world apart.

Heart Breaker - Rolling Stones

Sandra Dodd said...

I saw brains and guts and vital organs
Splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head.

"Why Does that This Always Happen,"

Weird Al Yankovic
who seems obsessed with TV and innards

Margaret said...

But people have always eaten people
What else is there to eat
If the juju had meant us not to eat people
He wouldn't have made us of meat!

"The Reluctant Cannibal" by Flanders and Swann

Deborah in IL said...

I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Tommy James and the Shondells

Margaret said...

He was a mean individual, he had a heart like a bone
He was a naturally crazy man and better of left alone

Paul Simon

Deborah in IL said...

Baby this town rips the bones from your back

Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen

Margaret said...

How shall we cook it, said Robin the Bobbin
Oh how shall we cook it, said Jack in the Can
How shall we cook it, said Daniel to Joe
How shall we cook it, said Billy Barlow

I'll (...) said Robin the Bobbin
I'll (...) said Jack in the Can
I'll (...) said Daniel to Joe
Tailbone raw! said Billy Barlow

Let's go a-hunting, american folk song (I can't remember how the others cooked their parts of the wren)

hahamommy said...

How come all my body parts so nicely fit together?
All my organs doing their jobs, no help from me!

There's a party in my tummy.
So yummy, so yummy yummy.

from Yo Gabba Gabba

With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln if you only had a brain.

from the Wizard of Oz

Margaret said...

Something unpleasant has spilled on his brain
As he sponges it off they say
Is it horrible? Is it horrible?

"Someone keeps moving my chair" by They might be giants

Be careful, it's my heart
It's not my watch you're holding,
It's my heart

(Irving Berlin)

Anonymous said...

And your heart is lead
And your stomach stone
And you're really scared
Of being all alone

(Sondheim, "There Might Be Giants", from "Into the Woods"

Shanona Ryder said...

Muscle and sinew
velvet and stone
this vessel is haunted
it creaks and moans...

---Jewel, "Absence of Fear"

Shanona Ryder said...

And we laugh like soft mad children
smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy...

---The Doors

Margaret said...

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're nearly a part of me
I've got you under my skin

My favorite version is the muppet version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTPApYF0dw

Margaret said...

You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me

The muppet version fits well with the body part theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKXZgcFuNZM

Margaret said...

The average unmarried female, basically insecure
[...]may react
With psychosomatic symptoms
Difficult to endure
Affecting the upper respiratory tract
In other words, just by waiting around for that plain little band of gold
A person can develop a cold

Adelaide's Lament, Guys and Dolls

Unknown said...

I'm an autumn girl, crying over London
With a heart on fire but no-one home
I'm an autumn girl on the endless search for summer
Cause I need some love to heat my frozen bones

"Autumngirlsoup"
Kirsty MacColl

(The whole song is viscerally disturbing, even though it's metaphorical.)

Sandra Dodd said...

They took out my internal organs
And took some Polaroids and said I was a darn good sport
And as a way of saying thank you
They offered to transport me back in history to any day that I would care to go

"Everything You Know is Wrong," my second-favorite Weird Al song

HoosierNan said...

Shoo-fly pie and apple pan dowdy
Make my eyes light up,
My tummy say, "Howdy!"

--"Shoo-fly pie," folk song

HoosierNan said...

Some say the heart is just like a wheel;
When you bend it, it can't be mended.
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is like that ship out in mid-ocean.

--"Heart Like a Wheel," Linda Ronstadt
