Can you write a short story and include these classic rock titles?

Dodge City, Kansas

Circa 1876

"Smoke On The Water"

Dodge was quiet that Monday. TOO quiet. The usual parade of passersby was not to be seen. U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon was the only resident afoot. Upon his instructions, stores had been boarded up,horses stabled and school classes canceled. The (4) Dust in the Wind was Matt's only companion as he surveyed his town. His trusty deputies, Newly O'Brien and Festus Haggen were stationed at both ends of town; Each feeling the burden of their responsibility. At first sighting of "Smoke" Robinson and his (1) Wild Horses,(nickname of his gang of desperados), Festus and Newly were to fire off one shot, thus alerting Matt. The tension was palatable.

(6 )Closer to Home, Sunshine MacGillicutty was loading her gun; Home being her farm which now was home to her devoted boyfriend, Matt Dillon, as well. He had given her strict instuctions to stay the hell out of Dodge. Sunshine, being Sunshine, listened politely and nodded her head at all the appropiate times during Matt's lecture. The moment he left for town, she put HER plan into action. She chose her clothers carefully. Her usual "I'm Here To Kill You" outfit, was in the laundry. It had a (2) A Whiter Shade of Pale red stain on it......... Matt had gotten a little frisky and spilled his glass of wine on her, last evening! She laughed as she remembered Matt shouting out,"(3) Ride My Seesaw, SunnyMac. Oh, yeah, cowgirl!!!" ( Authoress asks for your kind forgiveness at this raunchy statement.)

Sunshine opted for her "I'm Here To Kill You And I KNOW I Look Sexy," outfit.

She mounted her trusty horse, Pickett's Charge, and took off for Dodge.

The coincidence of the following events are comical to some,frustrating to others ("Why the HELL does that idiot from Virginia think she should get involved with "MEN" business) and ........... deadly to one individual. At the same moment Sunshine rode into the South end of town, Smoke and his Wild Horses rode into the North end. Festus and Newly both sounded their warnings!!! Matt looked around in confusion. All at once the bad guys entered Dodge. Discharging their guns and screaming like a band of banchees, they headed straight for Matt, who was standing in the middle of Front Street. Sunshine, riding at FULL THROTTLE also entered town.

Scaring the holy hell out of Matt and the others, she sped past Smoke Robinson, knocking him from his horse, as if they were in a jousting competition!! Bullets were fired, horses neighed, men screamed ..... The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder. Then silence..........

Matt:"Alright!! Drop your guns!!!" As Festus and Newly marched the Wild Horses to jail, Matt looked around...... "Who WAS that masked man??!!!"

Sunshine trotted back into town . She took off her mask as she dismounted. ...... "Hi, baby. Fancy meeting YOU here."

Matt:"Jesus! I might have known!!" He couldn't help but smile.

"Well..... As usual, you did NOT listen to me!!"

Sunshine:" True. And as USUAL I came in handy."

Matt laughed........"Hey!! Where're you going?" He followed Sunshine over to a horse trough.

Sunshine turned the body over that was floating in it.................

"By the way. Here's (5) Smoke................ On the Water."

Matt looked at the bloodied body of Smoke Robinson..... "Well I guess 'Everybody's Gotta Pay Some Dues.' "

I'm really bored, so here goes -- hope you don't want quality in a 2-minute response :)

Once upon a time I asked my friend to ride my seesaw with me. She agreed, but before we had seesawed for too long, a bunch of wild horses ran by, kicking up a lot of dust in the wind. That was unpleasant at best, so we stopped and walked a little closer to home. We both just happen to live on houseboats, so when we saw smoke on the water, we both turned a whiter shade of pale. Fortunately for us, it was the floating garbage barge, and we both lived happily ever after.

Jake and his best friend Johnny had decided to enjoy some weed down by the river. Johnny had taken some deep tokes and was feeling mighty mellow. "Man, this is some good ****." He said. Jake was feeling the same way "Yea,man, this is GREAT." He starting singing,

"Smoke on the water,......... fire in the sky" and the two friends were just grooving!!!

Suddenly they noticed a police car cruising toward them .

"QUICK, ditch it!!" Johnny yelled. "If we get caught, were dust in the wind." Jake swallowed hard, flicking the thick joint into the river. It lingered briefly on the surface, then sank like a stone.

The police vehicle stopped and two officers emerged.

"How are you two boys doing tonight?" Jake smiled lamely, hoping the smell was gone. "GREAT, officers, nice night, huh?" Johnny turned a whiter shade of pale while the officers looked around. "What are you boys doing here tonight?"

Jake was feeling pretty fearless now, what with the incriminating evidence sunk to the botom of the river! Jake pointed to a log that was laying near a tree stump. "Me and my friend Johnny came to ride my seesaw", he said. He jumped up, much to the horror of Johnny, picked up the log, and set it atop the tree stump. "Johnny, get on your end", he said. Johnny reluctantly hopped on the opposite end of the log and the two started see-sawing!

The officers looked at each other and at the boys. "Well, have fun fellows, and stay out of trouble."

As the police car pulled away the boys breathed a sigh of releif. "Next time lets stay closer to home", said Jake. Johnny couldn't agree more, "You said it man, wild horses couldn't bring me back to this spot!!" They took off for home feeling mighty grateful for the way things turned out.

I believe that BK is correct. You can mention the songs (not trademarked), but you probably have to get permission to use the lyrics.

Could you as in is it legal, or could you as in will I for you and your entertainment? Depending on the context, it's legal so long as you're not directly referencing the song, I think you have to obtain permission for that. As for will I? No.

Sure - why not? You can include anything you want in a short story. Pax - C

OK, I did it, what now? Do you have a site you want me to post it on?
