Fantastic word game

Round and Round is the title of my parents' favorite song and one day I was able to locate a copy of the record and I gave it to them for their anniversary, and as soon as they began to play the song and turned to me with a horrified look, I realized that they liked Round and Round by Perry Como and not the same-titled song by Ratt.

An honest mistake! I should have been suspicious when I learned that the Ratt song had never been released on 78 rpm.
 
An eighties hair-metal tribute band called Ratt Poison would, I assume, be paying tribute to both Ratt and Poison; and might appear on the same show with Great Whitesnake.

Now that his holiday's over, the Easter Bunny has joined Bugs Bunny and Oswald Rabbit in forming a hare band.
 
Whitesnake performed at Redd Foxx's 65th birthday party in 1987 and after they performed such classics as Yellow Bird, Green Mosquito and The Old Grey Mare, they were treated to Blue Bunny ice cream.

See what I did there?
 
Ice Cream Man was one of the songs Van Halen played when I saw them back in the early eighties.


BTW Ratt and Poison did tour together in 1984 and it was referred to as the Ratt Poison tour when I saw them in Fresno.
 
Back in the early eighties, when I was a young lad, I first saw Kenny rocking the house with what was then Kenny's 50s Rockfest and now things have come full circle as I now co-host Kenny and WMC's 80s Rockfest every Saturday night at Illusions.

And speaking of that, we're in full swing here so come on down and have some fun. Miss Silkie, Sweetie Pie, and all the lovely young library interns are tearing up the dance floor.
 
Kenny and WMC's '80s Rockfest every Saturday night at Illusions usually runs into Sunday morning and WMC's hangover sometimes runs into Monday morning and I really think he should try to find out exactly what Kenny is putting into the punch bowl.
 
The punch bowl at Illusions generally has MarcB's special blend of bottled water and Evening In Paris toilet water, left over from the days when it cost five cents a bottle at the five and dime down the road.

We won't go into who might bathe in it after a ride on the mechanical bull.
 
The five and dime down the road is not the same place as the gas station that specialized in YooHoo across the street from whathisname's apartment.

I can never remember his name but I'm sure you guys will remember. He was from England or something. I'm a bad Game Czar for forgetting somebody's name. Bad bad me.
 
Whathisname's apartment across the street from the gas station and behind the combination bowling alley/pool hall/lounge.

I think his name was Joey something.
 
The combination bowling alley/pool hall/lounge was a popular spot in the 1960s and '70s for stars such as Abbe Lane, Lucille Ball and country singer Orville Couch.

"Lane/Ball/Couch"---see what I did there?
 
Couch potatoes just sit and watch television; so what do you call people who just sit and listen to radio?

Yeah, I know. Office workers. (Brrump-bump!!)

By the way, should these posts have picked up from "what'shisname's apartment" or "desire"??
 
My neighborhood is very confused because, as scanman pointed out, we missed a contribution and it looks like it's all my fault.

I missed 'desire' somehow. I'm suitably embarrassed. I humbly apologize.

Kenny, you're right, it was joeybabe. Pretty sure he left us because the then-new and improved changes to RD weren't meshing with whatever device he was using.

Update: It was joeybabe25. I found his profile on RD. He hasn't been on RD since 9-17-2013 unless he came back under another alias. I suppose I could try sending a message to him through joeybabe25 but I'd say he's gone permanently.

It's all my fault when I neglect to inspect my bike before riding and something goes awry with the gears!

We all make mistakes during the course of our lives, so you're forgiven WMC! :)
 
The gears were working fine in the little rental car we used to travel about in Gibraltar, which is good, because we lost our way and drove the roundabout so many times at the border with Spain, and then arriving back at the border with Gibraltar that by the time we were through about the sixth pass the customs people on the Gibraltar side of the border offered us rest, Black Sheep beer and finger sandwiches, while the customs people on the Spanish side of the border offered us rest and a punch bowl of sangria, so as it turns out a good time was had by all.
 
A good time was had by all who attended the annual Electric Guitar Festival in Sevierville, Tennessee, although several people who wound up in the hospital agreed that if another lightning storm takes place next year, the Electric Guitar Festival should probably be canceled.

I thought about connecting Gibraltar with Rock...and Rock with Electric Guitars...but that would have just been silly.
