Calling all riddlers - REACTION UPDATE !!

[SeaShelley]

Here's today's acronym:

It may be another song title, probably from the 60's or 70's.

My friend said her boss has upped the ante.......if we solve it by noon tomorrow he'll buy us BOTH lunch !!!!

So come on DISers.....help a hungry gal out ! What do you think ?

 

[SeaShelley]

Anyone ?

What about a place to search song lyrics and/or titles ?

 

[Cantw8]

Here's some of what first came to mind for me.....

You Better Watch Out For The.....

 

[DMickey28]

[Cantw8]

[lovetoscrap]

You Better Watch Out for the Eggplant that Ate Chicago

by Norman Greenbaum
Performed by Dr West's Medicine Show & the Junk Band

You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago
For he may eat your city soon.

You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago.
For he may eat your city soon.
You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago.
If he's still hungry
The whole country is doomed.

[Refrain:]
He came from outer space
Looking for somethin' to eat.
He landed in Chicago
He thought Chicago was a treat.
(It was sweet. It was just like sugar.)

You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago,
For he may eat your city soon.
You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago
If he's still hungry
The whole hungry is doomed.

(Instrumental & mouth sounds)

[Refrain]

You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago,
For he may eat your city soon.
(Wack-a-doo, wack-a-doo, wack-a-doo.)
You better watch out for
The eggplant that ate Chicago
If he's still hungry
The whole country is doomed.
(it's in trouble.)
If he's still hungry
The whole country is doomed.

love to scrap - you are my hero of the day ! How on earth did you come up with that ???

And certainly, if you can get to Maine tomorrow for lunch.....we'd love to have you join us !!!!! Do you like Chinese food ???

 

[karynnix]

You ROCK, lovetoscrap!!

 

[lovetoscrap]

Google is your friend. And thank Cantw8, I just googled her words and that came up!

LOVE Chinese food! In fact I think I am going to pick some up today.

I wish I could see the look on the boss's face when you give him the answer by noon today!


By the way, if you click the link I posted you can actually HEAR the song. Would be funny to call the boss and hold the phone up to the computer!!! Or call him into your office and have it playing!

 

[Cantw8]

Hey!!!! What about me Crapper couldn't have done it without me BTW, that's a dumb song

 

[lovetoscrap]

I gave you credit!

 

[SeaShelley]

YOU BOTH ROCK IN MY BOOK !!!!

My friend just e-mailed me and said that she's heading to the local grocery store and pick up an eggplant...she's going to place it on his desk and say "Lunch is at noon tomorrow !!!"

LOVE IT!

Check back, I want to know his reaction!

 

[SeaShelley]

LOVE IT!

Check back, I want to know his reaction!

Eggplant = $1.18
Face on Boss = PRICELESS

My friend called to say that when the boss came back from lunch she handed him the eggplant and he said "What is this thing?". He honestly didn't know what it was.......my friend replied, "It's an eggplant.....when is lunch ?" He was completely taken aback that we "got" it !

Lovetoscrap and Cantw8.......thanks again !!!

Stay tuned.....I'm sure they'll be others this week !

 

[Cantw8]

that's great...glad you guys got it over on him I'm great at Crytograms also, if you have any of those

 

[SeaShelley]

This is good to know.......I have a feeling he may now "make things more interesting".

This started out as little notes he would leave for my friend before she got to work: ATGS,BRB = at the grade school, be right back

That progressed to the song titles and lyrics.......Lord only knows what he'll come up with next......

 

[SeaShelley]

Seems Mr. Bossman wasn't expecting us to figure it out..........he asked my friend if we wanted to go double or nothing !!!

We said NO....we're hungry now !

Doesn't he know not to bet against women when chinese food is on the line????

I didn't get my Chinese Food today and have a lunch date tomorrow, so I will be with you in spirit tomorrow!

And in the words of the infamous Miss Information-- order the most expensive thing so you can stick it to the company!

And since I never got one of these when I played the Riddle of the Day, I am giving myself one now!
