Rolling with Stones

I have no idea where I'm going with this?

The Rolling Stones meet to discuss their latest tour.

Mick - Look Keif lets NOT FADE AWAY, you know TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

Keith - I've got MIXED EMOTIONS

Mick - But Keif I MISS YOU

Keith- Mick there's NO USE CRYING, YOU CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

Mick - Keif we need to tour before we are OUT OF TIME

Ronnie - I wanna get my ROCKS OFF

Mick - Ronnie your PRETTY BEAT UP. Keif THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME

Keith - We are still HOT STUFF

Mick - ITS ONLY ROCK N ROLL BUT I LIKE IT

Ronnie - Lets RIP THIS JOINT and get SOME GIRLS

Keith - Ron PLEASE GO HOME. I'm SHATTERED you can't SWAY me

Mick - You're TORN AND FRAYED but WE LOVE YOU

Keith - Really? But have you GOT THE SILVER

Ronnie - LETS SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER with some HONKY TONK WOMAN

Mick - Shut up Ron, you CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION with GOOD TIME WOMEN

Ronnie - What's wrong with JIVING SISTER FANNY in a BLACK LIMOUSINE

Keith - I'm RESPECTABLE now, I'm not getting STONED

Mick - Keif you're the SALT OF THE EARTH, if you REALLY WANNA BE MY FRIEND join the SILVER TRAIN

Keith - OK you made me , COME ON, YOU GOT ME ROCKING

Charlie - IT'S ALL OVER NOW

This works well and is very clever.
I think it would be more appreciated by Stones fans, as I knew the number ones etc but with some tracks I only knew the reference because it was in capitals and this would not work for me and other idiots when spoken.
If you print it off and send it to Keith he might make a few joints out of the paper once he's read it.

I think it's a nice idea and as a medium sized Stones fan I recognise a lot of the songs but I think you have really restricted yourself with trying to get a cohesive story going by having song references in every single line.

I think if you have the song names in just some but not all lines perhaps just sprouted by Mick it would free you up to make the dialog more natural and give you a lot more directions to take the sketch.

As I said I love the idea and it could be very good its just that you've really restricted your options with attempting a song title in every line.
