If anyone wants the MP3s from that Staggerlee site, I have most of them; 27 versions, IIRC.
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
She's soft-spoken and has a gentle manner. But she's kind of sly and appreciates playfulness too. She's observant and takes a lot of things in. She's quite smart, as you would surmise.
She's very pretty and it manifests in a very feminine way that's not girly at all.
Damn, you're good. Wow.
I'm so jealous that you got to meet her! I wanna!
Well Rio, time to schedule that New England visit and meet ALL the NE Buffistas.

Except you get only one of Frank or Cindy, due to that whole space-time continuum thing.

We may both be at the NE gathering for JZ, so look for the universe to possibly end the first weekend in August.

Curses! That's the week I'm in San Fran. Perhaps being on the other side of the continent will mean I am one of the survivors.
Also, not holding my breath, re the Frank and Cindy meetage ...
Jon, you're gonna forward that to FW, right?

You mean what David said? Already done. She wrote back that she was "blushing furiously".
I think it's funny that Saget has met her but you haven't. We need an excuse to visit Chicago (not that visiting you isn't reason enough)!

FW. That's good. I liked FAQ Girl, but FAQWife makes me think, "isn't that something issued by Muslim clerics?"

Cool. Maybe you could send a few of your favorites to buffistarawk, Jim. Did you see this site -- 218 versions! (Just listings, no audio.) It also led me to Cecil Brown's Stagolee website. The version titled "Toast - New York, 1967" is NOT safe for work listening unless you're wearing headphones, and maybe not even then. Interesting legal defense by Stack's girlfriend. Btw, Cecil Brown is best-known for his 1969 novel The Life and Loves of Mr. Jiveass Nigger, so I'm thinking his interest in the whole Staggerlee mythos goes way back.
Speaking of buffistarawk, Corwood, I finally converted the first EDO album to mp3s & tried to send it to you last night, but gmail was acting wonky & yousendit timed out. I burned it & brought it to work. Much faster connection here. I'll try sending again this afternoon.
Excellent!
