TRIVIA FOR YOU TO SHARE WITH OTHERS!

Very few people know the truth behind legendary rocker Billy Idol's song "Mony Mony."
But now you will!
Entranced
by the paintings, Billy was wandering a well-known art museum when he began to hum the following:
|
|
Here she comes now sayin' Mony Mony
Shoot 'em down turn around come on Mony
Hey she give me love and I feel all right now
Come on you gotta toss and turn
And feel all right, yeah I feel all right
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
|

|
We might say that at that moment, two stars were born, not one.
Because the painting "Mona Lisa" had been, until Billy
Idol's hit song, covered with an old sheet and stored in Frederick Baskin's garage on Lane Street in Peoria, Illinois.

Both Billy and Mona skyrocketed to a fame nobody had expected.
Of course Mona was dead by this time, but it's almost
certain that when the famous rocker begins "her" song, Mony is toe-tapping with a blunt hanging out of her mouth in the heavens
above, her little White Highland Westie at her side!
The photos mentioned above will be included in our further study
of "Mona: The Woman, The Dog, The Music, The Mystery" as hosted here at Jean's new group.

'Cause you make me feel,
So good, so good, so good
Feel all right, all right,
Well I feel all right
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ride your pony, ride your pony
Ride your pony come on, come on
Mony Mony
Feel all right,
I said yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah...
