#763. Kick It Up

My first, of what will hopefully be several parodies entitled... 

"Kick It Up"

Consider them a tribute to the late James Gandolfini.

"He's not here to eat.  Here's here for the rent... the rent... the rent!"

Bada Bing girls are always wetter
New Jersey’s cold better watch the weather
Some pork store meat gabagool is the shit
Two ovaries help with birth let’s face it
Mix the ketchup with the frozen relish

Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Tony Soprano)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (ooh yeah)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (The vig, the vig)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Uh)

Hassidic Jews don’t deserve castration
The Vipers wine is a great libation
Vesuvio's Artie fried a bunny
Kick it up, kick it up
Paulie Walnuts, is so very funny
Mix the ketchup with the frozen relish

Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Tony Soprano)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Ooh yeah)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (The vig, the vig)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (The vig)

Tony Soprano (Tony Soprano)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Tony Soprano)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (ooh yeah)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (The vig, the vig)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Aw)
Kick it up, kick it up, oh-oh-oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Kick it up, kick it up
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Kick it up, kick it up
The vig, the vig
Kick it up, kick it up

 

Lick It Up
Kiss

Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (It's only right now)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (ooh yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Come on, come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Uh)

Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money
Lick it up, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (It's only right now)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Ooh yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Come on, come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Come on)

It's only right now (it's only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (It's only right now)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (ooh yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Come on, come on)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Aw)
Lick it up, lick it up, oh-oh-oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lick it up, lick it up
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah)
Lick it up, lick it up
Come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Since their vaunted "Farewell" tour in 1999-2000, I've seen Kiss a grand total of 10 times.

Back in late August of 2021, I hit up Star Lake for the "End of the Road" world tour.  While we were tailgating, an announcement was made that Paul Stanley had tested positive for Covid.  The show was abruptly canceled.  Despite my cries to "torch the dumpsters" and "burn Star Lake to the ground," the majority of fans exited the lot in an orderly fashion.

I kinda figured that would be my last opportunity to see Kiss.  

But the band along with Paul Stanley and his ample pelt of chest hair stormed back to Burgettstown for a show in mid-October. 

Feel free to share this material with Sopranos fans.
