In response to DealFords (Al) ramblings and attempts at being punny.
I did my best but confess to going to google for my answers as I think Al is more experienced ( read OLD) and has some interesting(read WIERD) taste in music. I think I'll buy him an FM radio soon.

Any how I thought it might be fun to post responses and some more lyrics or song titles to see if any one else can guess.

Blinded By The Light- One of my all time favourites. Manfred Man (written by Springstien)

Try A Little Tenderness – I was thinking Fifties, couldn’t remember the Artist. Turns out Percy Sledge. But did you know it was done first by a much more famous crooner?

I Had A Dream Last Night – I thought this was from the sixties but had it confused with “I Had too Much to Dream Last Night” by the Electric Prunes. ( what a name! conjures up some weird images man, pass the joint)

Going up the country – “Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine, We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time” awesome lyrics – Canned Heat, late sixties.


Freedom- ?? not a clue

Coming Into Los Angeles- this one I got wrong all together, I thought it was the Greatful Dead. Wrong, Arlo Guthrie


At The Hop- 50’s anthem no idea who sang it but I think they were ”one hit wonders”

Drug Store Truck Driving Man – Huh? Obscure never heard of it.

Joe Hill- also never heard of it. Joan Baez, what are you listening to man!!

Four Walls Of Raiford – never heard this one, lyrics look good though. Lynyrd Skynyrd

getting out is way harder than getting in.- This can only refer to Hotel California, Eagles

All Along The Watchtower- Ritchie? This was a Dillon tune covered by Hendrix.


Well Al, how'd I do?

Well now, let me try to string together a few lyrics or song titles........


People are Strange, Brother with sister - son with mother. Smear my body up with butter, and I know a girl who lives on a hill but there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold. I'm easy come,easy go, A little high,little low, but Happy Together.

 

Manfred Man - Blinded By The Light is one of my favourite tunes of all time!

Springsteen also did Blinded By The Light.
Try a Little Tenderness by Jimmy Durante.

I Had a Dream (last night) by John B. Sebastian.
Going Up The Country by Canned Heat.
Freedom by Ritchie Havens.
Comining Into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie.
At The Hop by Sha-na-na.
Drug Store Truck Driving Man by Joan Baez featuring Jeffrey Shurtieff.
Joe Hill by Joan Baez. (Oshawa guys had better listen to this tune real soon)
7 tracks from one side of one albumn. Hint... SP??? Yazgers farm.
Four Walls of Raiford by Lynnard Skynnard (he got in easy like Ruben Carter, falsely accused, and could not get out as easily. Hotel California was a good second guess)
All Along The Watchtower was also done by Ritchie Havens.
Ok Frank!!!!
Hang on a sec while I dust off my old guy memory bank....
Doors.
Dr.Hook.
Zeplin.
Queen.
Turtles????
AL.

 

You guys are OLD!

-Matt

P.S. Or maybe I am just a "Young Pup", eh AL?

 

That song makes my wife and I laugh because "douche" is the only word we can pick out of the chorus.

We also enjoy modifying lyrics, like the multiple choice song by the Beatles "Letter B", "All you need is gloves" by the Beatles, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" - Jimi Hendrix, "Nifty fishin' hat" - Tragically Hip, and our favorite "so now I come to you, with broken arms" - can't think of the singer right now......google says it's by Journey.

 

Ok here is some good stuff that i listen to--kc and the sunshine band-uriah heep-(indian) by blackfoot-the road hammers-robert plant-the doors

 

Here's one for you there YP.....W-O-L-D
Most everybody knows that one.
Quick....pick a song while you've "Got Me Under Pressure".
AL.

 

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Al did very good, way better than me! you got Dr. Hook which makes up for the one you missed.


Glad no one quoted rap. I don't know why rap is so popular. Maybe because some marketing genious left off the "C".

I guess we like that "old time rock n roll"

How about songs about cars/trucks? (no beach boys , too easy)

Cadillac
Maybeline
Mustang Sally
I'm in love with my car

 

Car songs? Here's part of one of my favourites, "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle:

"Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound"

 

Copperhead Road is another one of my favourites too.

Born to Run is another cartune.

Does anyone remember "HotRod Lincoln"? (maybe just Al?)

 

I remember it. Although that's from it playing lately on the radio, not because I'm old.

 

Gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln.
Copperhead road did have a nice Southern flavor to it.
Sorry, Born to Run always struck me as phoney.
I really feel for my automobile. (especially when I pay cash for it)
Mustang Sally was a spoiled little daddys girl with no respect for a great car.
Maybeline!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAD GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I never did like Caddys.
.
Easy one... I can see paradise by the dashboard lights.
.
There's one left over guys...""Got me under pressure" ... Hint... "Eliminator" ... Another hint ... Before "Afterburner".
AL.
.
.
. Suppliment.
What are you listening to? was the question.
7 tracks from one side of one albumn was the hint.
.
.
.
. Increadible that nobody got this.

WOODSTOCK

 

I always liked the style of a late 40's early 50's Cadillac, "long and dark, shiny and black".
Al, Yazgers farm was a give away. "my friends all drive Prosches I must make amends" was she at WoodStock?

http://www.lincoln-club.org/hot-rod-lincoln2.html if your interested Hod Lincoln lyrics and a blurb abput the musician car nut who wrote the song.

 

I hope you bear with as i tell my little tale ...

As a driver I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE driving this ENDLESS HIGHWAY , things I've seen on more than a few occasions are big trucks with RUBBER DUCK written accross the back of the cab , with drivers thinkin they are KING OF THE ROAD , I've also been passed more than a few times by a HOT ROD LINCOLN exhaust thumping and burning up more than A LITTLE GASOLINE , and on one ocassion had a BLONDE IN THE BLUE T-BIRD ( not the blonde in the white '57 t-bird we wish we all had whisper some sweet nothings to us) follow beside as I drive the LONG AND WINDING ROAD , I feel happy knowing that LIFE IS A HIGHWAY with 200 MORE MILES to go until I hit the CROSSROADS and pick up a SWEET HITCHHIKER she points to a sign and invites me to join her for a drink , being a bit of a hopeless romantic and becoming BLINDED BY THE LIGHT , I'll take a few hours to pull off the road , relax after living LIFE IN THE FAST LANE and join her , where you ask ?


where else , HOTEL CALIFORNIA

if this little tale hasn't made you chuckle just a litte bit , you can HIT THE ROAD JACK and you can try doing this.
