\"PRINCE<\/a>
PRINCE – The Latest in the Heavenly All Stars Ceilidh Band<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They are having some house party in Heaven
\nAll of the greats they were playing
\nThe Devil enjoyed the music drifting through the gates
\nBut he couldn’t make out the lyrics they were saying.
\nTupac he was throwing out rap
\nBut he and Biggie still are not talking
\nSinatras still crooning and the girls are still swooning
\nAnd Michael Jackson is still moonwalking.<\/p>\n

But God got tired of listening to Elvis
\nJoe Dolan sure wrecked his head
\nRory Gallaghar was so passe\u00e9
\nThe Angels said that the great were still not dead.
\nPhil Lynnott had gone awol calling Buddy Holly a gennet
\nOh, Kurt Cobain said. such an Irish phrase!
\nThe angels in the skies to earth threw their eyes
\nJohn Coltrane some jazz he still plays.<\/p>\n

They thought it time Heavens music updated to the seventies
\nSo they got Terry Wogan, him such a good Eurovision MC
\nPaul Daniels for the tricks, Ronnie Corbett for the laughs
\nFor the music they took Prince and David Bowie.
\nNow, they took such a cull, music down here is dull
\nUs yet to be dead here we are vexed
\nSure we can play their CD’s as much as we please
\nBut who will we lose to heaven next?<\/p>\n

Could THEY not be happy with MP3’s playing
\nNot insist to have them in the spirit as well?
\nAs we want them in the flesh playing to us at concerts
\nFor when we die we might end up in Hell
\nThe real punishment will not be the pitchforks
\nThe real torture will not be the flames
\nBut never again hearing the great artist
\nAs in the right list alas was not our names!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
