Texsox Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 That would be Rupert Holmes. Another gem So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place. I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face. It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you." And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew".. "That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape Any song that uses the phrase my own lovely lady :puke for that matter name a song with Lady that doesn't suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 for that matter name a song with Lady that doesn't suck You're right. I don't like "Lady Madonna" or "Foxy Lady", although I love the artists who performed those songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Brando, do you mean We've only Just Begun? The #1 graduation song from 1970 to 1980? And how about one for Nuke "Billy" Cleveland? The marchin' band came down along Main Street The soldier-blues fell in behind I looked across and there I saw Billy Waiting to go and join the line And with her head upon his shoulder His young and lovely fiancee From where I stood, I saw she was cryin' And through her tears I heard her say "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life" "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife" And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow" "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me" The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside The battle raging all around The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys" "We got to hold this piece a'ground" "I need a volunteer to ride up" "And bring us back some extra men" And Billy's hand was up in a moment Forgettin' all the words she said She said "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life" "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife" And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow" "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me" I heard his fiancee got a letter That told how Billy died that day The letter said that he was a hero She should be proud he died that way I heard she threw that letter away Damn, wish I had read this thread first.

Rex Kickass Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I worked in Oldies. I hated Dion with every inch of my being. Abraham, Martin and John maybe? Ew. And that was the best one we played. I used to make fun of really bad 70s pop. There was Yummy Yummy Yummy, In the Ghetto... all those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still got em and little Tommy, together we'll find a brand new mommy In the Ghetto.... In the Ghetto. Hunka Hunka Burning Dung, that one. On the ride home from work I heard perhaps the crowning bad song from 1985. Let's see if I can remember all te words... Amadeus Amadeus! Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus!! Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus!!! Oh, oh, oh, Amadeus!... da da da Rock me Amadeus... Amadeus Amadeus! Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus!! Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus!!! Oh, oh, oh, Amadeus!... da da da Rock me Amadeus... Amadeus Amadeus!

Another song I got sick of was Here Without You by 3 Doors Down, because Radio stations down here went crazy playin it non - stop. i started to get sick of 'here with without you' but it wasn't played nearly to the extent that 'the reason' is being played on mtv, vh1, and fuse. the tv coverage is probably the reason that takes it over the top for me cause i don't listen to too much music on the radio anymore and since i'm up real late and there's nothing else on i flip the tv to the music tv channels...

Texsox Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Artist: Raven Lyrics Song: Grazing In The Grass Lyrics Oh yeah.. Can you dig it? I can dig it Whoo! Oh yeah Whoah oh oh oh Sure is mellow grazin' in the grass (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) What a trip just watchin' as the world goes past (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) There are so many groovy things to see while grazin' in the grass (grazin' in the grass, yes,baby, can you dig it?) Flowers with colors for makin', everything outta sight (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) Here we go! The sun peekin' out between the leaves (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?) Everything here is so clear, you can see it And everything here is so real, you can feel it And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it? I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig It, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby? I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig It, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby? (Instrumental break) The sun peekin' out between the leaves And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees Everything here is so clear, you can see it And everything here is so real, you can feel it And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it? I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig It, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby? I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig It, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?

Kid Gleason Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Any of you ever hear KISS's The Elder album? That might just be the funniest damn piece of music I have ever heard. I still plan to buy it, just because it is SO damn bad I need it in my collection. I have been dipping into my youth quite a bit musically speaking as of late, and I have decided that no band in the world has aged as poorly as Styx! Good Lord and butter were they a TERRIBLE band with probably the silliest damn lyrics ever! I'm still awaiting a truely great band to rise out of Chicago! One that actually makes it big, that is. Rights Of The Accused were friggin' great, but the vanished and never broke out, and a few guys turned into Triple Fast Action. Cheap Trick is Rockford, so they don't count.

zach61 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 How about this gem? We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the hills we would climb Were just seasons out of time. All our lives we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach. Verse 1 Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend, We've known each other since we were nine or ten, Together we climbed hills and trees, Learned of love and a - b - c's, Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees, Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that spring is in the air, Pretty girls are ev'rywhere, Think of me and I'll be there, We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the hills we would climb Were just seasons out of time. All our lives we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach. Verse 2 Adieu, Papa, please pray for me, I was the black sheep of the family, You tried to teach me right from wrong, Too much wine and too much song, Wonder how I got along. Adieu, Papa, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that spring is in the air, Pretty girls are ev'rywhere, Think of me and I'll be there, We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the hills we would climb Were just seasons out of time. All our lives we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach. Verse 3 Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, Without you, I'd have had a lonely life, You cheated lots of times, but then, I forgave you in the end, Tho' your lover was my friend. Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that spring is in the air, Pretty girls are ev'rywhere, Think of me and I'll be there. We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the hills we would climb Were just seasons out of time. All our lives we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rights Of The Accused were friggin' great, but the vanished and never broke out, and a few guys turned into Triple Fast Action. Cheap Trick is Rockford, so they don't count. You're selling Chicago's musical heritage a little short there. Muddy Waters? Shadows of Knight? The Association? (maybe Windy and Up Up & Away were too schmaltzy, but Cherish is the 2nd most radio=played song of Rock and Roll after You've lost that loving feeling.') The Buckinghams (5 top 10 songs) Chicago – CTA Vol. 1 and anything before Kath checked out is still insanely great, and I can stomach most of their stuff through XI or Hot Streets. Once Cetera decided he WAS Chicago and Lamb, Pankov, and Co. let him do it they were officially musically irrelevant. Buddy Guy? Liz Phair? Urge Overkill? - A lot of folks didn't think much of them I know but I liked them. Pumpkins?!!? I don't know, there are some pretty good musicians/bands spanning 6 decades in that group.
