I am not really familiar with much of current music.

I haven't listened to the radio in ages

OK, shutting this one down.

Let's try this: Name all three songs and the biggest connection between them.

"I take her to the drags, man and everyone flips
For her big blue eyes and her candy apple lips..."

The Beach Boys - "Car Crazy Cutie" (from the Little Deuce Coupe LP)

"There's a ninety-pound weakling, well he ain't got no place

Cause you know he'll only get the sand kicked in his face..."

Dick Dale and the Del-Tones (also Annette) - "Muscle Beach Party" (from the movie soundtrack)

"I never had a steady girl now for more than a day

I'd get a good thing going then I'd throw it away..."

The Survivors - "Pamela Jean" (Capitol 45 5102)

Hints: Same writer, three different artists (sort of). One was part of a soundtrack, one was an album cut, and the other was a one-off 45. None was a big hit despite the talent involved.

Writer - Brian Wilson; connection - all three used the same melody

I thought the lyrics of the first one sounded like something Brian Wilson would write

If the movie is the one I'm thinking of, Dick Dale wears a big hoop earring

To the boys in the band!!! I'mmmmm Back and ready to jamm! Actually I would have been back weeks ago however I purchased a new laptop (only had a desktop before other than a LT from 94 with 3.1 on it) a few days before a complete knee replacement on March 10, I figured it would give me the opportunity to bone up on my P.C. skills and contribute to the site while I have been laid up, when I went to sign in the site didn't recognize my information ( most likely due to me changing my email address and never up dating my information on the site) Bottom line I was locked out and had no way of communicating with the administrators. Finally through one of our brothers 10 Thumbs (Thanks Michael you are a true friend) I was able to get back on and plan to contribute when I can. I had a bunch of material scratched down that I was going to post, I'll have to dig that stuff up and get crack'in. I hope all is well with everyone.

Let the Music Play!!! Peace Jimmy "RASS"

"I remember holding you while you sleep.

Every day I feel the tears that you weep"...

Day After Day by Badfinger

George Harrison plays slide guitar on that song, and Leon Russell plays the piano parts

Posted

But will they still be seen, when time and tides have been?

*Now in reference to the prior post - Wow Imagine Leon Russell Playin' the Piano!! ( :rolleyes: ). Think it's time to watch Mad Dogs and Englishmen again!*

1-- I will be watching over you,

gonna help to see you thru,

I will protect you in the night.....

2-- On the counter, by your keys,

was a book of numbers, and your remedies..........

Posted

Yep! Even got the album right..............

When I was a kid I had the "Countdown To Extacy" album, been hooked on Steely Dan since.......... :)

Jolly,

Always a huge fan of the Dan. When I was Married in May of 1978 Aja (the whole LP) was huge!! IMO not a bad cut on that one. My wife and I took just about all our wedding $$$$ and bought a state of the art DC Sansui system with huge Synergistic towers, at that time we spent like $2,200.00 that system, that was big money back then, but that thing would shake the walls, windows and neighborhood.

The first time I heard Do It Again in 72 I was hooked

Peace Jimmy "RASS"

Here at the Western World. One of the best songs ever written, played and produced about the oldest profession in the world.

Put me down for Deacon Blues as my #1. I really don't recall a S.D song that I don't like! Their lyrics captivate the essence of life's experiences

Posted

Deacon Blues is another good one! They have so many good songs it's hard to pick a favorite! "Here at the Western World" is my fave, but then there's "Reelin' in the Years" and "Dirty Work" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" and "Pretzel Logic" and "Do It Again" and "My Old School" and on and on...

You say that you love me (say you love me)

All of the time (all of the time)

You say that you need me (say you need me)

You'll always be mine (always be mine)

I thought this'd get answered for sure :huh: . Shapes of Things, by The Yardbirds.

Have never heard that, but I have it on Jeff Beck's first album Truth, something of a collector's item today.

It might also be on Bowie's Pinups, a collection of oldies covers--I don't remember.

Speaking of the Yardbirds... here's an appearance by them on French TV in 1967. Recognize the song? And the lead guitarist with the "puffy shirt?"
