#603. Christina Applegate

Sorry to hear the news that Christina Applegate was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  

This is not the first health issue that Applegate has faced.  In 2008, she made the decision to remove both of her breasts in a double mastectomy.

Alexander The Great is one of Iron Maiden's more obscure tunes.  Just in case you're wondering, the lyrics to this song are essentially "non-parodiable."  So I just did the refrain.  Judge for yourself.  If anyone out there wants to give it a shot...  

It'd probably be easier to do a biblical parody of who begat whom.  Hmm, AC/DC's "Who Made Who.

 

"My son ask for thyself another kingdom
For that which I leave is too small for thee"

 

Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend, his name was Alexander

 

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegean Sea
In 334 B.C
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

 

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend amongst mortal men

 

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell
To the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

 

By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia

 

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men

 

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

 

Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on, marching on

 

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

 

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
