[Charles Dana]

Howard suggested I write a parody of Elton John's 1983 hit "I'm Still Standing," and that I call it "I'm Still Stanley."

While I agree that the title Howard proposed is brilliant for a parody, it is not clothing related (unless it refers to the designer Stanley Blacker). Perhaps some day. For now, I offer this in order to semi-fulfill Howard's request:

I'M STILL SHOPPING
(Sung to the tune of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's "I'm Still Standing")

Calling you to say I'll be late
I think 'round seven-thirty, maybe eight
Feel free to feed the children and I'll tuck them in
You know I have a lot to do
Before next week begins

I didn't think that I'd be here quite this long
I'm so relieved I didn't bring the children along
Seems like buying clothes is harder than they say
So if the kids ask you why I'm still shopping
Say it takes all day

Yes my dear
I'm still shopping, trying to step up my game
Thinking 'bout my new promotion, knowing things are not the same
I'm still shopping for so much that's new
Selecting neckties and balmorals
A shame I have no clue

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

They were asking me "Cuffs no break?"
They're getting me some Motrin for my huge headache
They also want to know if I dress "left or right"
"As we need to be super careful so that your boys aren't tight"

Yes my dear
I'm still shopping, trying to step up my game
Thinking 'bout my new promotion, knowing things are not the same
I'm still shopping for so much that's new
Selecting neckties and balmorals
A shame I have no clue

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

Yes my love
I'm still shopping, trying to step up my game
Thinking 'bout my new promotion, knowing things are not the same
I'm still shopping for so much that's new
Selecting neckties and balmorals
A shame I have no clue

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

I'm still shopping!
Ow Ow Ow

[FADE OUT]

Excellent as always!

If you take requests, I'm sure there's some gold here:

Charles Dana, as I've often said, you are a talent of substantial note(s) (pun intended) and chellochriss, I like your choice in music...Elton John's Suit of Wolves is one of my favorites, though I hadn't heard it in years!

 

[Howard]

Thanks Charley.

 

[Howard]

I will try to think of others for you to parody.

Thank you, Howard. Let me know what you come up with.
