Guess I posted this a couple of years too early... :(
-------------------------------
With an insincere apology to the Starland Vocal Band, here again are my alternate lyrics to "Afternoon Delight":
Gonna buy unleaded, gonna fill my tank,
When I saw them numbers, well my heart just sank.
Only got a twenty for the whole dang week -
Wouldn't move my Suburban seven hundred feet.
Skyrocketing price,
Gasoline's too high.
Ga-aaa-soline's too high.
Thinking that I can't afford to fill 'er up.
Dollar got a couple gallons, now, just half a cup.
If the war was about oil, wouldn't you just think
That the pricing of the petrol might begin to sink?
Skyrocketing price,
Gasoline's too high.
Ga-aaa-soline's too high.
When the metal numbers move a dozen times a day,
You just know big oil company's gonna make you pay.
Skyrocketing price,
Gasoline's too high.
Ga-aaa-soline's too high.

This is still true, too.
