Mostly NYSE anyway. Aren't MSFT and INTC components of the DJIA?

Nuh uh. The Diamonds are a collection of voices raised in 4 part harmony...

Spyder Rat

Silhouettes
The Diamonds
Written by Frank C. Slay Jr. and Bob Crewe

Peaked at # 10 in 1957
Version by The Rays, released 3 weeks earlier, hit # 3
Another version, by Steve Gibson and The Redcaps, managed only # 63
Re-made by Herman's Hermits to # 5 in 1965

ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut

Took a walk and passed your house (late last night)
All the shades were pulled and drawn (way down tight)
From within, a dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade

Put his arms around your waist (held you tight)
Kisses I could almost taste (in the night)
Wonder why I'm not the guy *whose silhouette's* on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes

Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh

Lost control and rang your bell (I was sore)
Let me in or else I'll beat (down your door)
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock "you're on the wrong blo-ock"

Rushed down to your house with wings (on my feet)
Loved you like I never loved (you my sweet)
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the sha-ade

Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh

Two silhouettes on the shade
Silhouettes!

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
1. Backups join with lead on words in (parentheses)
2.: I believe the lead singer screwed up here. On "The Diamonds
Collection"-Stardust CD-1010, he clearly says "two silhouettes" rather than "whose
silhouette's." The latter is, of course, true compared to the Rays' original

Oh, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

That's what you meant. Diamond like Spider etc, which is traded on Amex. What would you short Diamond? Because GM is in trouble? Well a company in Diamond which has a disease is kicked out anyway and replaced by a strong one. Witness Sears etc.
