Day 4 BeatleZep

In answer to my challenge here is my poem/story composed from titles of Beatles and Led Zeppelin songs...I used 57 song titles all together, I used 3 songs twice. I added punctuation where needed. 




Going to California, babe....I'm gonna leave you.
That's the way girl....The ocean, over the hills and far away.
I'm gonna crawl, ramble on.

I'm so tired,dazed and confused. It's all too much...Oh my soul!
In spite of all the danger,I'm gonna crawl.
Nobody's fault but mine.
Yesterday...this boy love you too...
Martha, my dear,you shook me!
Like dreamers do.
Good times, bad times,lonesome tears in my eyes
Like a child,ask me why..baby it's you
Darlene,she said, she said, she said,
"She came in the bathroom window"
she said, she said, she said,
"some other guy,nobody I know..."
Too much monkey business woman.
Think for your self,what you're doing.
I'll be on my way
I'll follow the sun
Tea for one,custard pie

Hey,hey what can I do?
Ten years gone,all of my love...
What is and what should never be
Martha, my dear...
I should have known better

Do you want to know a secret? 
I want to tell you something...
Every one has something to hide except me and my monkey
Eight days a week...
Helter skelter,junk.
I don't want to see you again.
All I've got to do...
Act naturally.
Rock n Roll music!
Free as a bird.
Thank you

Day 1 BeatleZeppelin Story

Listen....do you wanna know a secret....do you promise not to tell?

This weekend I went to the planetarium and saw two amazing shows. They were both Laser Light shows..the first being The Beatles Anthology and the second was..my all time favorite band Led Zeppelin (Laser Zeppelin)
You could view it in 3D or not....I chose 3D for the most part as it really added to the effect. I LOVE music and have always found it important to life...Led Zeppelin especially has been a mainstay for me. Listening to it in this environment was really cool though. You really experience the songs and lyrics and even your own feelings on another level. One song in particular, I really heard the lyrics for the first time and understood it's meaning. 
Anyway, your mind can also wander during the show, sometimes remembering the first time you heard that song, or an event you associate a song with. I experienced all that...then I had an envision for my blog...a challenge if you will.
So here goes the challenge for this week

The Challenge:
Compose a short story using titles of Beatles and Led Zeppelin songs. Together they have about 300 songs to choose from.
I think it can be done, though, if I need to I will allow myself to use lyrics from the 2 bands as well.
No other rules.
