Fuck, I'm a terrible person, sorry. The Kirsty MacColl one is worse though, that's my excuse.

It was the fearful eve' of the twenty-second of November
Which Michael Hutchence will not be able to remember
In the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney
Was a sight as terrible as any in a film by Scott, Ridley

He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of

His snake skin belt was all knotted and the buckle was broken
He must have been feeling that the lord God had spoken
With his success in INXS he was laughing all the way to the bank
Oh if only he had not been tempted by that stranglewank

He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of
He was stuck on a doorframe he couldn't get out of

Ahhh ahh ahh
Oooh oooh oooh

My friend Max came up with:

It was a tragic time
We lost Bowie and Prince
We can only pray
'17 i uno repeat and rinse

You spoke in lyric, you spoke in rhymes
They hit you in the head too many times
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
Why'd you take the Berbick fight

Ah-ha-li
Ah-ha-li
Ah-ha-li

And what of Johnny Ace?
Houston, Texas was the place
That .22 he called his friend
Would soon bring on his bitter end

He played Russian Roulette and he lost
He played Russian Roulette and he lost
A dangerous game, his life the cost
He played Russian Roulette and he lost

Curtis Tillman dabbed his eyes
That Oldsmobile he'll never drive
Was it suicide? Was it a reckless show?
Perhaps the world will never know

He played Russian Roulette and he lost
He played Russian Roulette and he lost
A dangerous game, his life the cost
He played Russian Roulette and he lost
