Mina-san, Ohayou!

After releasing my filksong _Ranma_ (based on _Lola_ by The Kinks), 
I said I was thinking of doing another one, based on the Hall &
Oates song _Maneater_.  Well, here it is:

Oh, dear. You *are* dangerously insane (the *true* definition of a 
filker), aren't you?

I loved it. I wish I hadn't read it at work, so I could LOL as it 
deserved. ;>

Well, that's it for today.  I am thinking of doing some more in
future.  The ones that I tentatively thought about include one about
Nabiki.  I was thinking of two Cyndi Lauper tunes, for some
reason:  _Money Changes Everything_ (rejected it again despite the
title) and _Girls Just Wanna Have Fun_ ("Girls Just Wanna Have
Yen" - but there are so damn few rhymes to "Yen").  Another one is
about Ryouga and will be based on one of my favourite songs of
all time: _Karla With a K_ by The Hooters ("Akari With Her Pigs"
or something like that).  One that I'll definitely try is sung by
Akane to a classic Beach Boys tune (_Help me, Rhonda_): "Help me,
Ranma!"

If anyone would be so kind to supply me with the exact lyrics to
these songs, I would be *terribly* grateful.

Have you tried checking the Web? That's how I found the lyrics for some 
of the songs I'm using in "Another Way to Travel," if I ever get going on 
it again. IIRC I did a search on Yahoo <http://www.yahoo.com> for "music 
lyrics," and was able to track 'em down from there.

If you can't find 'em there, I should be able to help with the Lauper and 
Beach Boys lyrics; just let me know before Sat., since I'll be leaving 
town then and can't check the liner notes.
