With V-Day Approaching... Meg Griffin's Frantic Romantic! (Alternate Title: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face")



Hi, I'm Meg Griffin of Family Guy.





As you recall, I was
Shady's guest host on
Shady Dell Music &
Memories for the
Valentine' Day
post in
2017.





At the time I was desperately
lonely. The only men who
were interested in me were
nerdy Neil Goldman from
school and our neighbor,
Mr. Quagmire. It didn't
work out with either
one of them.

Peter, I took your daughter to one crummy dance.
I refuse to marry her, even if you pay me a dowry!




A lot has happened
over the last four
years. I found my
one true love.
His name is
Rondo!








There is something,
Rondo, about you,
that's really
attracting me.
I'm falling...
and I'm...
too weak
to fight!

"Too Weak To Fight" 
 - Clarence Carter
(Dec. 1968/Jan. 1969,
highest chart pos. #3 R&B,
#13 Hot 100 & Cash Box)



Meg, NO-wuh! Rondo's not right for you!
He's old enough to be your father.


And besides, he creeps me out.
Please come to your senses!


Stop trying to run my
life, mom! Rondo's my 
soul mate. He gets me.
He completes me. We
finish each other's
sentences. I say
"I love..." and
he says:

"little baby ducks,
old pick-up trucks,
slow movin' trains
... and rain."






Rondo and I know
in our hearts...
there ain't nothing
like the real thing!


"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"
- Marvin Gaye And Tammi Terrell
(May/June 1968, highest chart
pos. #1 R&B/#8 Hot 100,
#9 Cash Box)







Maybe that's why
when we're
all alone.....
 I can hear music!


"I Can Hear Music" 
- The Beach Boys
(Apr. 1969, highest chart
pos. #20 Cash Box,
#24 Hot 100)


Rondo could be my
summer boy.


Rondo could be my
summer toy!



Our minds are made up,
mom... and there's
nothing you can do to
stop us. We're goin' to
the chapel and we're
gonna get married!

"Chapel Of Love" - The Dixie Cups
(May/June 1964, highest chart pos.
#1 Hot 100, Cash Box & R&B,
perf. on Dec. 25, 1965,
ep. Hollywood A Go Go)








I can't kick
the habit of
loving you,
Rondo!

"The Habit Of Lovin' You Baby"
Nino Tempo And April Stevens
(Jan. 1967, B side of "You'll
Be Needing Me Baby")






Rondo may not be a
movie star, (he's only
a character actor),
but when it comes to
being happy - we are!

"My Guy" - Mary Wells
(Apr./May 1964, highest
chart pos. #1 Hot 100,
Cash Box & R&B,
perf. on Dec. 30, 1964
ep. of Shindig!)




Let's sing it again, Rondo!
"I love..."

"coffee in a cup,
little fuzzy pups,
old TV shows...
and snow...


...and I love you too, Meg!"
