"Angie Baby" by Tom Bombadil (stbush@iglou.com).

This story was inspired by a mid-seventies song written by Alan O'Day and sung
by Helen Reddy. It tells the tale of a unusual girl who is a special lady who
is quite different from normal people, in more than just her sanity.

Angie, baby, you're a special lady
Livin' in a world of make believe - well, maybe
Stoppin' at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind
Cause he's been peekin' in Angie's room at night thru her
window-blind
I see your folks have gone away, would you dance with me today
I'll show you how to have a good time, Angie baby

That about sums it up, except to say

When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked
into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around 'til his soul has
lost its way
And as she turns the volume down, he's getting smaller with the
sound
It seems to pull him off the ground, towards the radio he's
bound
Never to be found

What the author has done is take the song and build a really strange but
interesting story around it.
