Okay, here ya go.

Mama told me when I was young,
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say,
And if you do this,
It will help you some sunny day........

Pink Floyd?

Mama

Chris

Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple man :D


That last one you said was Metallica But I'll be danged if I can remember the name of the song. Was it on Kill 'em all ?

Derek

Derek got it. Lynyrd Skynryd.

The other song was Metallica - Fade to Black from Ride The Lightning.

Shall we continue?

This should be easy.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air


That's all you get for this one. Easy as pie.

Come on - way to mainstream - I have this album

Eagles
Hotel California

Here is one for our illustrious leader - Ok Kamakiri one from an album in my collection

They're mixing with the population
A virus wearing pumps and pearls

You dont' get this and I'll come up there and slap ya :rolleyes:

The only reason I know this is because I just got the CD. Very obscure lyrics. Most people won't have a clue.

Make the game fun for all participants Wards.

Tim and I are big fans, I have very album he ever did plus the group efforts

It's "A virus wearing diamonds and pearls" :D

"Lord help the lonely guys
Hooked by those hungry eyes
Here come tomorrow's girls....
Tomorrow's girls"

Ah yes, Donald Fagen :)

Angela, you should get this ...

"This house is your own,
still living alone,
it don't make you sad,
But I think its good to be green"

Too easy for you!

But here's one you'll never get ...

"A smash of glass and the rumble of boots,
Electric train and a ripped up phone booth,
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat,
Lights going out and a kick in the balls"

Mmmm?

Walt, more hints. Or is it impossible?

In the mean time, try this one.

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching the earth

This should be a good one. Not too mainstream anyway.

The first one ... well I will wait until Angela checks by because she should get that ...

But the second, well it wasn't really fair ... 1980 British post-punk/New Wave, song writer who is still around today doing mainly acoustic stuff now. I have declared my interest in this music before but you guys probably don't remember ...

How's about this one??

Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Thor

Sounds an awefull lot like that god awefull Vanilla Ice :mad:

Have not a clue Thor. Kid Rock...M&M....ya got me on this. Agree with the Grumpster, sounds like a rap song.

But I got Dry basement again.

I'm just a singer (in a rock & roll band). Moody Blues:beer:

Well I'm off on my vacation. See Ya'll in 12 days:cool:

Thanks again to everyone who gave advice on my sansui

'perciate it fellas
Derek

Oh Oh Oh

My turn... Heres an easy one

A poor girl wants to marry and a rich girl wants to flirt

A rich man goes to college and a poor man goes to work

A drunkard wants another drink of wine and a politician wants to vote

I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke, but





:D

Yes sorry guys it was way too hard ...

"Thats Entertainment" - the Jam, released on the album "Sound Affects" in 1980. And the song writer is Paul Weller.

For the other one, I'll wait and see if Anegla can get it (West Coast) ...

Derek wins a case of his finest drink. Kam should be in touch with ya soon. :D

Have a great vacatiion Derek.

Here's another excellent lyrical passage to ponder over.

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

Wards should know this right away.

Wattya mean god awful :mad: That is an excellent song dood!!

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby :D

I knew it was that....guy !
Now can you guess mine ?

And my favorite Steely Dan release.

Listening to it as we speak.

How about this.

You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythym he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

Come on Rocky boy..... :D

Country Boy Can Survive
Hank Williams Jr and then Kid Rock

I grew up in a house that had both kinds of music country and western. My father was a country musician; main instrument was the steel guitar but he also played the fiddle, piano, guitar, do-bro, mandalin and some drums. My Father, Willie Nelson and a fiddle player named Johnny Gimble all grew up together and use to have jam sessions at our house on Sundays. Wow, memories

Heart
Crazy on you
Dreamboat Annie

This was early on when Ann was thin and Nancy was flat.

OK Angela ...

those lyrics were, of course from "Green" by Alex Lloyd in the album "Watching Angels Mend".

"Green" was one of the tracks I recently sent to Angela to sample ...

Well, you know your music. Are you sure you're not using some sort of google search?

Funny, we hear songs a zillion times but do we really pay attention to the lyrics.

Wow! Hank Jr. fans in here. I'm impressed. Have you heard him do Tuesday's Gone? If your big knob is less than 1:00 then your not hearing it right :D He's underated in my opinion. "Get yourself a Harley! Hop on a hog!" Here's one:
"Come down with fire,
lift my spirit higher.
Someone's screaming my name,
come and make me holy again!"
Brad

Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain.

Ronnie James Dio sure has a powerful voice. One of the best heavy metal voices around. The lead singer from Iron Maiden has a great heavy metal voice also.

Wards,

I wasn't calling you out on this. A half handed attempt at sarcasm I guess. I am marveled at your ability to match lyrics with song titles. Like I said before, some people hear a song a thousand times and don't remember the lyrics. Even when the words are in front of them, the song title escapes them. Hopefully, no hard feelings.

Btw, how is your progress with manuals I sent you?

Hey no problem, we're cool.

Manuals are slow due to some extraordianry things in my life over the past few weeks, but I will have this weekend with no wife kids, so I'll work on them.

Ok, let's get back to having some fun-

one of my favorite songs of all time:

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dream.
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been.
To sit with elders of a gentle race,
This world has seldom seen,
With talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revea__led.

Zep :)

Yep, Zep - Kashmir

OK GUYS....

Lets see if you can figure this one out:

All night long on the broken glass
livin in a medicine chest
mediteromanian hotel back
sprawled across a roll top desk
the monkey rode the blade on an
overhead fan
they paint the donkey blue if you pay
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
my baby's coming home today


Chris

Tom Waits
Franks Wild Years
Telephone call from Istanbul
1987

I once was a FM Disc-Jockey but shit you guys are amazing l got to start listening to more music l'll start off with a easy one;

"Squeeze my lemons till the juice runs down my leg:

AHHHHHH

Might that be the Lemon song by Led Zep :D

Try your hand at this one......


Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screamimg I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all



:p:

Sounds like someone is controlled by hatred. I hope their tendencies are not towards suicide. i know they must feel like ... :D

I am going to stump you eventually ! I guess its time to pull out the Import stuff :D

Hey Folks

Here's One

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'M on the pavement
Thinking about the
government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, Laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get paid off
Look out Kid
It's something you did
God knows when
But You're doing it again
You better duck down the
Alley Way
Lookin for a new friend
The man in a coon-skin cap
In the big pin
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Next Verse

Maggie Comes Fleet Foot
Face Full of Black Soot
Takkin' that the Heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bustt in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out Kid
Dont matter what you did
Walk on tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry anrond a Fire Hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows

Up on the hill
People never stare
They just don't care
Chinese music under banyan tree
Here at the dude ranch above the sea...

Steely Dan - AJA 1977

One of my favorite albums. There is a lot to their music if you take the time to really listen. I have this one on MFSL.

I know you are a big fan of the Dan
This was a piece of cake for you.

Your turn now.

How about a good rockin tune:

Hey baby - tell me why your hangin round

Hey baby, Ted Nugent. Say? did any body mention ol Ted on the best guitarists thread?

Try this one :

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Columbian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East
fly by morning light.

Derek

She's a wizard with her shears
She's been turning heads for years
All the darlings and the dears
Know she has the touch

An exclusive clientel
Oh she knows each one so well
No one dares to kiss and tell
She knows too much

Very obscure 80's pop/rock guy...

Van Stephenson "Righteous Anger"

Dear Abbey,Dear Abbey,
Well I never thought
That me and my girfriend would
Ever get caught.
We were just sitting in the back seat
A shooting the breeze,
With her hair up in curlers
And her pants to her knees!
Signed,
Just Married

Just married,just married,
You have no complaint,
You are what you are, and you ain't what you ain't.
So listen up buster, and listen up good.
Stop wishing on bad luck and knockin' on wood.

Signed
Dear Abbey

Dear Abbey, dear Abbey.
My fountain pen leaks,
My wife hollars at me, and my kids are all freaks.
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed.
If it weren't so expensive, I'd wish I were dead.
Signed
Unhappy

Never heard it.;) But if I had heard it, I would say that I washed an awfull lot of dust down to it!:D :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:
Brad
P.S.- He never got all the credit he deserves. He's a great songwriter.

:grnbounce Hey All:beer:

Can anybody play? I got one:

If the phone don't ring,
If the phone don't ring,
If the phone don't ring, you know it's me
Well, I got no intention
Of ringin' your extension
If the phone don't ring. you know it's me
