Rhyming the Rock Decades
NOTE: I don't know if I did these right. This is for a contest started a long time ago that i believe closes out tonight. Each decade has its own title, and one of the titles has to be "Battle of the Sexes." These are not monoku but I don't know what else to call them.
‘“Good Golly, Miss Molly!”
With Elvis’ pelvis and Rock n’ Roll’s beat, the teenage rebellion had to taste sweet.
“Crimson and Clover”
“Crimson and Clover” played over and over; STONES came to life midst social strife.
“American Pie”
Bye bye to American pie. Bees Gees were “Staying Alive.” Rock could barely survive.
"Battle of the Sexes" (Video killed the Radio Star)
Michael and Madonna making rhyme in a changing time; some recall it as sublime!
“U Can’t Touch This”
Nirvana dreams and still it seem - good times and prosperity were happening for ME!
