Janie’s Got Playoff Tickets

Ellen DeGeneres instructed the people of Boston to gather at Marsh Chapel at Boston University yesterday, hinting that tickets to the Red Sox playoff game were at stake.  I walked past the event on my way to Star Market and heard her give these instructions (via satellite from California):

Each of you have to pick an Aerosmith song title and you dress up as that Aerosmith song title.  You can use props.  You can use costumes.  I’ll be judging you on your creativity.  You have 15 minutes.  Go.

Fortunately, as several people have now commented, nobody chose to appear as Janie’s Got a Gun.

Surprisingly, Dude (Looks Like a Lady), Pink, and Love in an Elevator were all doubly represented, while some seemingly obvious choices got overlooked entirely.  Could nobody put together a Kings and Queens ensemble, for example?

An attractive if conceited young lady might also have attempted to be Beyond Beautiful or Drop Dead Gorgeous with no costume at all, claiming to have already met the title’s key descriptors.

You can watch the video on Ellen’s website to see the results for yourself.
