Name that Tune...

[iasooner1]

Since Schoonerman didn't name my latest FZ song yet, here is a hint: some would say the name of the song could be compared with an Italian cookie...

 

[Schoonerman]

More FZ fun:

She was a debutante daisy
With a color-note organ
Deep in the street
She drove a '59 morgan

chorus (and then)

She didn't like it when her fan belt
Shrunk and got shorter
(ointment)
Battery leak could nearly cost her a quarter

Schoonerman jump on in here and enlighten the masses...

Took me a minute, but the "ointment" reference cleaned out some of the cob webs. Zappa is the artis and Florentine Pogen is the song. Great pick!!!

 

[Schoonerman]

Here's my entry from my all-time favorite artist. An oldie but a damned good one:

__ __ you scare me so
I feel as though, my heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go, around my head

Ooohhh, I'm going down slow
Scare me so
Ooohh, you never let go
Scare me so

Gay desceiver, my eyes they burn
My insides burn, my brain is cold

Unbeliever, but now I've learned
I took my turn and come up cold

Ooohhh, I'm going down slow
Scare me so
Ooohh, you never let go
Scare me so

If you must kill me,
Please let me die Lord!

OK, I cheated now and once I saw the artist, I knew that I had heard that lyric before...

Nope not Tom Petty it was Your Wildest Dreams by The Moody Blues

 

[jturpen]

My sister won a thousand dollars in a Dallas radio station call in contest in about 1974, correctly identifying the song with these lyrics.

The message may not move me, or mean a great deal to me,
But hey, it feels so groovy to say.

Peter, Paul, and Mary I Dig Rock and Roll Music

 

[jturpen]

I've been working overtime
And I can't get you off my mind
I sleep in the pouring rain
When will you come home again?

 

[veritas59]

When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
Poundin' on your door

When the money's gone
And all the spendin' ends
They won't be 'round anymore.

God Bless The Child by Blood Sweat and Tears

Well done fellow Lawtonian! Now, without looking, tell me who plays the trumpet solo.

 

[jturpen]

Lew Soloff

 

[Plainosooner]

Correct. Unfortunately, you win $1000 less than my sister did. Of course, by the time the Uncle Sam took his cut, she made less than $700. ... . if that makes you feel any better.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

David Clayton Thomas.

I don't know why I put that down...just impulse

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Welcome jturpen... you're a good addition to the board.

 

[veritas59]

David Clayton Thomas.

I don't know why I put that down...just impulse

DCT was the man!

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Yep, Thomas had that soulful delivery...and range out the wazzu...I hate guys like that, sort of.

 

[K2C Sooner]

 

[iasooner1]

Most excellent cartoon K2! I've seen that one before in newspapers and perfect addition to this thread. I would be an old fart in there yelling FLOYD or BEATLES/STONES...

 

[veritas59]

Well I used to wake the morning
Before the rooster crows
Lookin for soda bottles
to get myself some dough

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Got no clue on that Ver.

As an aside, good news for the Chicago peeps.
I think in august, Fu fighters and Cheap trick on the same bill.

That is going to smoke em...

[WhyNotaSooner]

Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry

 

[veritas59]

Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry

Gimme three steps

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry

Nope... not Lynard Skynard

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry

Back in the Saddle... Aerosmith

Written by Steven Tyler & Joe Perry (which BTW resides in Austin these days). Released in 1976 in their first album.

 

[iasooner1]

Aerosmith;
The band always reminded me of the "poor American's Stones clone".
Saw them a few times in Tulsa in the 70's.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

But then it's flat-top, dirty bop, copin' a feel'
grubbin on the living room floor

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Come together.
Originally done by...dang, can't remember, but I heard they made a splash in their day...

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

No Sir I don't believe so

 

[Soonersincefitty]

WHAT!

15 years of careful, assiduous image building rent asunder by the utterance of the jawbone of an ass...tragic.

 

[iasooner1]

Here is an old favorite, in honor of sybarite:

Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you comin'
I know what your after
We're wise to you this time
(Wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
We're on guard this time
(On guard this time)
Against your final solution
Oh no
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
We can hear you comin'
(We can hear you comin')
No, you're not gonna win this time
(Not gonna win)
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway
(Out along the walkway)
Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost it's way

 

[iasooner1]

Gimme Shelter; awesome Stones song very fitting of the times. Let It Bleed !

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Gimme Shelter; awesome Stones song very fitting of the times. Let It Bleed !

Great song indeed and love the rifs too. You're up!

 

[iasooner1]

OK Nota
Here's an easy one for ya:

Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange

 

[iasooner1]

While you're pondering the Clapton tune, a little more Zappa from a later album:

Now I'm older
Got a place in the town, babe

or

They live in a ho-ho-hole
(tiny hole)
That is usually empty
(usually empty, tiny too)
They live by a code
(dit dit dit dit)
That is usually smpte
Which stands for
Society of motion picture & television engineers
Maybe I think
That is what keeps them in sync
They're wet n they're pink
I think I'll give em a, give em a,
Give em a drink

Speaking of Baby Snakes, someone eliminated some fine work in the Socialist v Dem thread... OK we get it so please, don't delete this thread.

 

[Soonersincefitty]

This is medium difficulty I believe.

Some of the coolest lyrics in this song whatever was.

"And the baby looks around him
and shares his bed of hay,
with the burrow in the
palace of the king"

Frickin' awesome...GO!

 

[iasooner1]

The name of the Clapton song above is Pretending from his Journeyman album.
