Complete the Song: Lyrics That Could Have Been contest - The Breakup Song by Greg Kihn Band?

Given the context of the song, I would replace the "Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah"s with "They started playin' our favorite song. " I especially like how that sounds with these opening lines: We had broken up for good Just an hour before They started playin' our favorite song And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing 'cross the floor They started playin' our favorite song And then the band slowed the tempo And the music gets you down They started playin' our favorite song It was the same old song With a melancholy sound They started playin' our favorite song I think it fits in nicely, and keeps the break-up song theme going.

And I'm dyin' just a little bit more. (BTW, thanks for the lyrics, I'm just learning to play and sing that song).

We had broken up for good Just an hour before Such a dirty little chore And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing 'cross the floor Now I'm runnin towards the door And then the band slowed the tempo And the music gets you down Those notes weighed a thousand pounds It was the same old song With a melancholy sound Now I'm sinkin' to the ground They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore We'd been living together for a million years We realized all our fears But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres Like I'm floating away And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know And everything around me glows And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing so slow And I'm runnin towards the door They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore Interlude Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass I always thought it would pass 'Cos it's so easy to say That she'll forget your past But it never lasts They don't write 'em like that anymore No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't I'm not much of a writer, but that's the best I got. Edit: that post showed up after I did it. I kinda like mine, so I'll leave it, but to replace it all with one phrase I'd use: "And I'm runnin' towards the door.

Here goes: We had broken up for good Just an hour before Trying to deal just as best I could And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing 'cross the floor And we're dancing in my head And then the band slowed the tempo And the music gets you down To the rhythm of a Summer night It was the same old song With a melancholy sound And all the lyrics that you've heard before They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore We'd been living together for a million years Every second rushes through my head But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres As my body's floating off of the world And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know And it's the same old song again And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing so slow 'Cause they've got a million years to go They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore Interlude Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass With a rhythm playing in my head 'Cos it's so easy to say That she'll forget your past And then you'll find that she's floating away They don't write 'em like that anymore No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't Edit: (I didn't realize that I still had time to edit, so I'm copying my comment into the answer. ) I think that one lyric replacing every Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah would start to sound very repetitive, but if there could only be one line, I would say: Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah= But she's still running through my mind.

Replace the ahs with "Click delete, refresh again.

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah = Crack me open another beer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
